Who Wants a Horse Burger?

You'll die when you find out how your meat is already over processed. Cutting it with horse meat won't make any taste difference. 

We don't buy processed meats other than gutted, skinned, and trimmed.  We do the rest of the processing from there.

The horses will suffer no longer......

Proponents believe that those opposed to horse slaughter are just shocked to have to face slaughterhouses in general.

My opposition (as a horse owner) has more to do with the horsemeat lobby insisting that slaughter is more humane than adoption.

It may be more humane than what the lobby would do to their adopted horses.

Horses have rather low fat content.  For a brisket, I would recommend wrapping with some butter for the last few hours.  You could also use some pork caul fat to wrap the meat before cooking. 

We have some friends from Italy who claim it is wonderful.  Far more tender than beef despite its low fat content.  From what I've heard it is also milder than beef in flavor and far better for you from a health perspective. 

I'm not a big fan of riding horses, or betting on the ponies, but if an option existed to eat the loser, that would certainly make things more interesting.

I'd have to do some research, but it would seem that horses who, unlike cattle, can thrive in both domestic and untended free-range atmospheres produce more high-quality meat with less impact on the environment than cattle who require a multitude of supplements and intense care to remain healthy and productive.

I loves me some windpipe!!!

No ketchup though.  Ketchup on windpipe is nasty.

[RecycleMichael]

That is some steak. I can still see the marks where the jockey whipped it.

[Gaspar]

Get the ones at Siegi's.  He uses only the best windpipe!

Also, you forgot tripe & rectum.

What an awesome name for a hotdog stand "RectumDog".

I have been told of the ingredients in hotdogs since the playground in elementary school. 

Even with all of that, I have never, and will never, turn my nose up at a hotdog.

Funny.  Saw that movie on Encore last week.  Love old Dirty Harry movies.

Poll: Oklahoma Voters Strongly Oppose Horse Slaughter

http://soonerpoll.com/poll-oklahoma-voters-strongly-oppose-horse-slaughter/

A strong majority (66 percent) of Oklahoma likely voters opposes passage of proposed legislation allowing for the slaughter of horses here in Oklahoma, and of those that oppose, 88 percent strongly oppose the legislation, according to a new poll.

The Oklahoma legislature is currently considering two bills, House Bill 1999 and Senate Bill 375, which would allow for slaughter of horses here in Oklahoma for human consumption in other countries but would maintain a ban on the sale of horsemeat in the state.

A strong majority, 65.1 percent, of respondents in rural counties opposes the legislation, despite claims by the horse slaughter proponents that rural communities support it. Counties within the Tulsa MSA, 69.6 percent, and counties within the Oklahoma City MSA, 64.3 percent, also have high levels of opposition to horse slaughter.

Funny how that never seems to matter when someone can make money off of pending legislation.

And yet, even with all that, we are prohibited in this country from having a great traditional Scottish dish - haggis - because it contains lights (lungs) and they aren't "suitable" for consumption....

Funny how that never seems to matter when someone can make money off of pending legislation.

So focusing people's attention on where food comes from is about the only way to distract them from the real issue.
Otherwise, we would have to face the question "Do you really think slaughter is more humane than adoption?"
