Re: Horse Meat.
With yet more horse found in different foods, I'm a little unsure about eating my breakfast cereal...crunchy nut.

Re: Horse Meat.
Like Rob I too have eaten Squirel, not your average daily meat, bit like very sweet chicken. But how many of us at some time or other have eaten overseas and said that was delicious without having any idea of what it was.
For many years here Safeways used to use wild water buffalo meat in the mince, brought down from the Northern Territory. But now Roo meat is all the go, experst telling us all how good it is for you, and the range of pies now with all manner of meats in them, crockodile, emu, roo, even snake in some parts of the country and in NZ Posum pie is very popular.

Re: Horse Meat.
The worst we had was a Spanish restaurant we used to frequent a few years ago & where the owner always got us to eat something different & not tell us what it was, rather we had to tell him at end of meal often with hilarious results. Well one day he insisted we eat, as we sat at the bar having Tapas these things "we would love." They were crunchy turned up sort of rolled + cold with some hairs on them. We were not too impressed though ate a couple between us & said no more. They were bloody pigs ears, ye gods disgusting but them I recalled my UK mother used to love pigs trotters ))): The former are a delicacy in Espania.
