I’m an adventurous dude and have had no Americanized remorse for eating the local Horsemeat in Puglia. To be clear this meat is only served in Puglia and Veneto in Italy (as well as France and some Asian countries). Like the meat of the Buffalo it is significantly leaner than beef and served similarly; braised and stewed in a tomato gravy (pezetti), ground in Suasage or grilled. One problem…
I don’t like it. I have tried it on three occasions and each time have launched for the closest “food clutch” to help it go down (water, bread, contorni etc.). I derived this term to describe "digestive agents used in real time to disguise texture and/or flavor" when one HAS to eat what is in front of them. As much as I love food, my affair exists on the same spectrum of all love; I am able to equally detest as I am to love food.
Inevitably I have been questioning why Horsemeat is not prevalent (ok, nonexistent) in American kitchens. The answer comes down to connotative pet love and fairytale derivative ethics more than health or practicality.

at least you gave it a fair chance.
whats the taste like tho? chow, said its sweeter like skirt stake...
and how bout the term...it's like horse meat to connote something that tastes not only "bad", but is also indicative of food that is base and lower class?
Horsemeat, literally beacause it is Cavallo/Horse.
As far as it's taste, I didn't pick up on the "sweetness". Its alot like Buffalo in that it takes on the flavor of how it is cooked, braised, stewed, grilled, ground etc. To be clear, its as much a novelty here as it would be anywhere else...only served in Puglia and Veneto.
