Would you ever eat horse meat?
I'm not sure if I would or not. That isn't because I have an affinity for horses and therefore couldn't face chewing on one. It's simply the fear of the unknown, I think. As has been widely reported in the papers, the reponse of 'PETA' to Gordon Ramsay's assertion that we should give horse meat a go was to dump a tonne of poo on the doorstep of one his restaurants. I think this is a bit unfair of them! Okay, so they're against eating gallopers. I don't think it's illegal though, and if people want to try it, then fair enough. The general rule, I believe, is to make sure you're sticking to herbivores. As with Mad Cow disease, things can go a little askew in the food chain if you eat animals which eat other animals.
When I was in Switzerland last month, the supermarkets were full of the stuff! It was given equal prominence to, say, pork or chicken. I must admit that if I had been self catering then I would have been sorely tempted.
House problems abound at the moment! Our landlady has announced that she has a bun in the oven, and has asked us to leave at the end of July so she can have a proper family home rather than a small flat. Fair enough, but that does leave a rather significant 'What now??' hanging over our heads!
