I've cooked it for Mr Woo before when we were holidaying in France years ago. He wanted to try it so I cooked it .....................didn't make a particularly good job of it - it was a mobile home holiday and I didn't follow a recipe.

 

If I discovered that I'd eaten it without realising it really wouldn't bother me at all TBH but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it. I had Frogs Legs for the first time a few weeks ago .....they were lovely.

What next - guinea pigs?

 

its a cultural thing i guess

Insects are the answer to global starvation, apparently.

anyone up for it?

had thinly sliced cured horse meat in Holland years ago as a open sandwich topper. . bluddy lovely it was too.. wasn't told til after by our hosts who served it and when was told didn't bother me at all, I had more at our next lunch. .yummy ...

 

 

I've cooked frog legs before. . had eaten them loads in restaurants in the days I could do such things and found one where they were cooked so yummilly and moistly   I asked for the recipe and served them up as a starter at the next dinner party we had. .

 

hardest part was getting hold of them.. I had a Harrods account back then so phoned them first as they went under the 'we sell everything' banner and also would deliver to my office.. . . they didn't sell them tho . . so they lied. .anyway a Fishmongers in Mayfair near my Office at the time is where I got them in the end..

I don't think I could bring myself to try horse meat, I am not adventurous when it comes to food . 

I don't eat a great deal of meat so I'm not an expert. But horse seems the wrong sweet taste, colour, and texture. It is the parsnip of the meat world.

Parsnips are lovely IMO. Couldn't stand them as a child - my mujm used to sneak them on my plate and tell me they were potatoes. I dug my heels in and refused to eat them ....as an adult I discovered that they really are nice.

 

I think the only three things I can't/wont eat are liver, kidneys (any offal really) and butter beans.

I'll eat anything except rice pudding.

Yeah, I'd give it a go.  Have eaten frogs legs, snail, kangaroo & ostrich.  Bizarrely though when I bought beef cheeks to cook I just couldn't physically bring myself to eat it, I think it was because it was the thought of eating it's face.

I had Kangaroo a few months ago - it was lovely. Mr Woo had Zebra - not that nice.

It wouldn't bother me if I found out I'd eaten it without knowing but I'm not sure I could eat it if I knew it was on my plate.

NO! I've eaten all kinds of sh*te in my life, but I draw the line at horse.

 

They're beautiful, intelligent animals with their own personalities 

I'd try it I'd try most things, as long as it's not endangered or owt Panda burger

Absolutely Not!!
We don't have to eat everything out there...just cos it's there!

And personally I think..whilst there are those of you out there that will 'have a try', then the slaughter of innocent/endangered animals will go on 

ive never thought about it like that

anyway

i wouldnt knowingly eat it

I don't eat meat - but if Quorn marketed a variant i suppose i would give it some consideration.

I'd give it a go ...in fact, given last years scandal, I probably have  

I used to go to the pie and mash shop in Coldharbour Lane (amongst many others).  Love my pie and mash with liquor and a side order of hot eels.  Anyway, next door - waaaaaay back in the day, there was a horse meat shop.  It fed many a poor Londoner during the war and I bet that's what goes into pie and mash.

 

Doesn't bother me:  I like frog's legs too, and snails.

Never eaten guinea pig but that's because I've not been to Peru.

i'd never eat horse meat,then again I'm not a fan of beef,lamb etc.I like chicken,fish etc.

Katty and I cancel each other out!

Don't we all munch down on things as adults, that when we were younger repulsed us.  

 

Just saying 

I'm the opposite

I used to eat cockles, winkles, whelks etc at the seaside.

i look at them in horror now

Well, as a youngster I quite enjoyed a nice tomato, but they are horrible now.

When I was younger I was repulsed by mushrooms which I love now.

 

So there we have it - it works both ways!

I agree that we don't have to eat it just 'cos it's there, but why the (shocked?) emphatic rebuttal?

The first lambs are about on our cycle route (we cycle through a couple of farms) They are delightful. However if people didn't eat them, then they wouldn't be there, like most of the other animals and fifty per cent of the beasts. Quite a dichotomy isn't it, though but?

Used to go cockling & winkling as a child in Devon....using a pin to wiggle out the eye!
Yikes! what a thought now 

Its odd - we eat sheep but there are millions of them.

We don;t eat snakes but they are endangered

The !! was to emphasise my disgust at the very thought of eating horsemeat.

We breed sheep for eating...whereas our greed to take over the planet by pulling down rainforests & the like endangers many species!

We don't need to eat meat at all....

They do great tasty food 

Agree totally Slim you thoughtful, caring thing that you are

 

Meat costs a bomb and cost the planet a bomb to produce

Thing is though, rainforest a are pulled down to make way for farm land to grow crops too, so it's not all the fault of us eeebil meat eaters

Yes especially to grow palm oil.

They'll probably grow protein in a petri dish soon so we can eat erm... "burgers" without worrying.

My old workplace started doing that a couple of decades ago! a product of a complex fermentation process which you now know as Quorn.

Soya mince is ok if you put stacks of Bisto in 

And you no doubt know that it's all done for the benefit of the likes of BK & MacDonald's and not for the local inhabitants barring a few bob...
