Good horse tastes like a very lean steak with lots of flavor. Its delicious.

I would be happy to organize and H&B (Horse and Beer) after a T&T, but I don't know any places that serve good horse here. Will be on the lookout!

I'd try me some of that! With chips please!

I don't eat beef or any type of bovine (sp?) so this intrigues me,...... I'll be following this til you find somewhere.

*see why I never get along to t&t's - bore the arse off everyone

I think that's really interesting, so you won't boor me, but then again, I am such a geek.

I dont think I could ever eat horse meat, i dont disagree with it but I imagine the theme tune of champion the wonder horse would be racing through my head whilst I was eating it.

Ostrich, thats sure a weird one, it hink you can get alligator steaks, I think it was tesco that tried them over here about 10 years ago.

Alligator? crazy!.

Had an ostrich burger in Birmingham around 2004(?), nothing special, slightly gamey but weaker than pheasant iirc.
Personally, my fave steak apart from beef would be shark. Dee f'kn lish...

Mmmm,.... had Ostrich burger quite a few times from Brum's and Solihulls farmer markets,.... well nice,... and not a bad price from what I remember.

I love a good slab of Red Rum, a nice slice of Black Beauty, a cutting of Mr Ed, a Seabiscuit kabab etc etc etc
Does actually taste very nice

would like to try horse, why not,
most exotic thing ive eaten is crocodile @ blue elephant, its lovely

I used to eat ostrich burgers all the time. Really love them. Leaner and gamier than beef, so you have to be careful not to overcook it, but I love the flavor.

Pauli- I'm sure you mean a different blue elephant, but my favorite thai restaurant when I lived in Paris was "l'éléphant bleu" (blue elephant).

ive tried Alligator...Very rubbery like leather...

Well I've tried Crocodile, it wasn't the best, but I think that was the chef's fault. Kangaroo is good, really gamey, but awesome. You can get it at that outback place in the dam. I really want to try Horse meat in the dam. Is the whiskey one good fly by nite? Do they have ostrich in Amsterdam?
