It will become legal to sell horse meat next week in Australia, with a Perth butcher leading the way to sell the meat many ethnicities see as a delicious, healthy meat.

Horse sushi is common in Japan, the French love horse meat, horse milk is popular in Belgium and the meat is very lean and healthy, so the question is - would you try it?

I don't know why.. but I don't really fancy exotic meats. So, the answer is no.

No. Horses are pets here.

Hmm, rabbits are too but we eat rabbit (delicious) (not being rude, just saying!). Meat for consumption is bred for that purpose. It's a funny mental shift. Apparently we kill 50,000-70,000 horses to export as eating meat, so maybe we should be embracing it more domestically, especially as it's lean (like kangaroo).
