Its a bit of a generalisation to say we don't eat horsemeat. Sir Clement Freud became one of our most well respected chefs in the TV spotlight from starting a restaurant that served horse meat.
Mostly we don't eat it because it doesn't agree with our palette unless its cooked in avery specific way. Its got a very high water content, and its necessary to remove that somehow before cooking.
Also our equine laws do not include breeding or ownership of horses as livestock, so again I think it might be something that hasn't ever taken off because of old laws.
- I'd eat one. Suck out its eyes first as an amuse bouche, then lower it into boiling water while its still screaming.********

Why are you singling out Britain? Here in the US we don't eat it either.
I think it's mainly just the French in Western world that eat it.
- i didn't know about the USA. Just read it on Wiki.benfal99
- A lot of Europe eats horse, plus Russia, China and the far east in general, South America.********

We do, however, wait until they're old and then mash them up and feed them to other animals.

It makes sense. Same with cats and dogs, they might taste great too but they're useful in other ways.
Cows on the other hand, just sit around so they're expendable.

Same fucking reason that we don't eat dogs in the west, and everyone gets all humane when we find out the japanese have been slaughtering dolphins.
It's a good thing cows and chickens are generally stupid and ugly or else we'd all be a bunch of leaf-munching faggots!

You know what, it's so taboo here that the thought never even crossed my mind until I read this post.
So what do horses taste like anyway? I wonder how hard it would be to find a place that serves roasted horse.

During WWII, people started eating horses to survive.
