The Feral Horse
Although not considered a food in this country for social and cultural reasons, horses have a long history with the kitchen cutting board. They are lost, escaped and turned loose and made into dog food and glue when they run out of usefulness. Laws have been made to prevent people and pets from eating them. They are rounded up with helicopters and given away to the public, iconic historical trinkets from conquistadors, cowboys and indians. They embody the essence of a feral animal; adaptable, curious, paranoid and aloof. The co-op doesn't have any horse meat, so . . . no recipe.
Wiki Says:
"because of the role horses have played as a companion and as a worker, and concerns about the ethics of the horse slaughter process, it is a taboo food in some cultures. These historical associations, as well as ritual and religion, led to the development of the aversion to the consumption of horse meat. The horse is now given pet status by many in some parts of the Western world, particularly in the USA and UK, which further solidifies the taboo on eating its meat. This avoidance and the loss of taste for it is relatively modern, although it arises out of complex historical and cultural origins."
