@stoney renegade He's calling out religion for what it really is. Stare into the naked body of truth. Regarding DMT it seems that you are the one who "belittles" it. I hope you don't use that overused argument on how religion gave us arts and cathedrals. People can do pretty crazy shit if motivated and given funding. It just so happened to be massive churches like the Catholic church who gave them money. Back in the good ol' days you would've been killed or ostracized if you didn't practice the state religion.
stoney renegade how can you never be a true “wise man” when you talk to more people than the average person? That makes no sense dude. And religion has caused more harm and death throughout history than anything else. Any “wise man” can tell you that.
When I was in Sicily there was a food truck with Cavallo (horse meat), no I didn't try it. Not sure if this is a thing in eastern or northern Europe. I could only imagine eating a horse after it dropped dead, not for the primary purpose of raising it for meat. On The Supersizers Go 1950's they mentioned horse as a protein source for post-WW2 England. I don't think I'd have anything against trying it.
I tamed a white Arabian horse one time near Lake Isabella, in the snowy mountains it was one of the most beautiful loyal animals I ever had. Had her for a couple years until she ran off a cliff. It was probably One of the most hardest moments I ever witnessed seeing her in pain about to die, 😢 I didn’t have any horse reviver so I had to use a bow an arrow from behind to put her out of her misery. this was one of the saddest things I could ever do. After that I had to walk miles to the nearest town. Knowing now that I left my horse behind hurts, but In a situation like that there’s really nothing you can do. There’s people who eat horses but I couldn’t bare to skin the horse or eat it, even if givin the option I wouldn’t do it. I couldn’t even reload the game I just had to move on
There are many practical reasons for eating cows as opposed to horses. The average price of a calf is under $200 while a foal will run you $15,000, but this may have more to do with more cattle being raised than horses. But historically, horses had more value as a draft animal while cattle had more value as food. Additional, it takes four years for a horse to become mature while it only takes a cow/bull two years. Horses are also leaner than cattle so the the meat will be tougher (especial if you wait for its working years to run out). I think they may also be exaggerating the popularity of horse, at least in France. I pulled up Paris in google maps then searched restaurants. The first one to come up was Restaurant La Gare; it looks nice. Looking at the menu they have 5 items (not including the cheeseburger that is in the American Grill section) listing boeuf (beef) and an ingredient. However they had none featuring horse, chevaline or chevalin.
A foal can cost a lot but doesnt necessarily have to. Also, cultures that bred horses often ate the disobedient and undesirable ones. It was practical and it improved genetics.
Sounds like it’s more practical to sell people cheap ass filthy cow meat and therefore easier to buy but it sounds like the horse has the better meat (I’m pescatarian but I’m just saying)
You don't prey upon that which you depend upon. The predator/prey relationship is a hierarchical one. A Turkish [correction: "Turkic" ie. Mongols, etc.] nomad who rides his horse for years and then eats it (except out of necessity) probably never saw it as a partner and workmate, but as a resource to be used. That seems ungrateful to an American mind (at least this one). It's a matter of gratitude not to eat working animals. When they die, you do not treat them like prey, but like respected partners who have provided for you and worked beside you. It is respectful to consume prey, because that is *why* you killed them. That is the only excuse for their death. To do otherwise is to destroy life without purpose. It is disrespectful to consume a working animal, because they are more than prey. They served their purpose during their life. [Disclaimer: I know the following statement is an extreme one. I am not making an exact comparison, just trying to show my point more clearly] Humans are good sources of protein. The diseases that come from cannibalism are mostly due to consuming the brain. If we avoid that mistake, we can say everything about taboos against eating humans that we can about eating horses. So *why* don't we eat humans? Because it is not fitting to the dignity of a human being to treat them the way we would treat a pig or a deer. Period. We understand that eating an animal reduces it to the level of a resource to be consumed. Horses and dogs work the same way in the American mind. Not to the same extreme, of course! But the general idea is the same. A working animal has earned a certain respect by laboring beside us that a cow or a deer simply does not earn. This is also why, even on farms, you don't make a pet out of a meat animal, and you don't eat something you've made into a pet. It shows a lack of gratitude for what they have given you and for the relationship that was formed. That is just my subjective feeling on the matter.
Troll Hunter we got very little in the way of animals from the natives. They didn’t have domesticated horses or anything like that so how would they advance us culturally?
That's not necessarily always true since its normally acceptable for people to eat oxen, despite being working animals as well. Though it is sort of an arbitrary distinction since they are literally the same as cattle just given different purposes.

@Troll Hunter but many Plains Indians ate horse, loved their animals, and not just from necessity.....they often had so many, and if traveling, it was the easiest and preferred meat
I had horse (and dog) multiple times when I lived in Tonga. Even though it’s a third world country, they eat it only every once in a while because they enjoy it, not out of necessity. It’s some good stuff. I think Americans are just too used to what they know as normal and too sensitive.
In California it’s legal under food and ag code but illegal in the penal code which supersedes it. Funny how that works. I’ve had horse sausage, canned horse, horse on pizza. Good chit!
Maybe these girls also have a pretty nice shape compared to à fries and burger eater! And liver as well as horse meat is not only lean but high in iron, we eat this for what it gives to our organism as well as the fact that it’s well presented. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t iron deficiency a common thing in the US?
@@ValouQc Is it? Im a us citizen who donates blood and I never had a problem but I can't speak for others. You can get iron from so many things like fish, chicken and leafy greens. You can also get iron from cooking with a iron skillet. I guess if you only eat cereal, frozen foods and instant noodles you can.

Here in Europe they sell horse meat in supermarkets and it‘s fine. I don‘t understand people‘s aversion towards eating it when they eat pork, chicken, deer, etc. Horse meat is VERY high in protein, almost no fat and no carbs. Basically excellent for athletes and people training for muscle hypertrophy. Americans are missing out on something.
There's not really an aversison to anything other than cats and dogs here. We have just traditionally used them for transportation rather than food. Im sure people eat horse here.. I know a lot of people sell horse meat to Mexicans from Texas.
I think it's a more complex emotional link. You can choose not to look in a loving way to animals you only eat, but one you pet is diferent. I would eat horse, but would never eat dog. It isn't rational, it's emotional.
I've lived here my entire life and I've only seen 1 restaurant that served fried alligator and maybe frog legs. may i ask where you've seen deer for sale ?
For a while in Québec , we had loads of lean, dark purple/brown meat for nearly half the price of hamburger steak available at the store. I asked what it was and the butcher said: " They have rampages of wild horses in western Canada. And since everybody loves horses, they have been running unchecked for decades. They just recently started to hunt them for population control." And it tasted great!!!
Horses and dogs have helped humans survive and thrive. Even cats have helped by culling rodent populations. But cats are more based on cuteness. But horse and dog are seen as companions rather than food.
I live in Florida, but I’ve traveled to Vancouver B.C., Colorado, back to Maine and New England and these days duck is on most craft bar and grill menus. I used to not like it but I think if you cook and marinate it the right way, it’s awesome.
I'm both french and italian from Sicily. French people normally don't eat horses, sicilians do. I must say that it is one of the healthiest meat you could eat, and it tastes good.
I went 8 months without food. I was in a hospital and even though I was getting fluids and basic nutrition thru an iv, I went from 185 to 126 and I was starving slowly. Imagine the worst hunger you ever had x20. Your stomach ties in knots and you get muscle cramps all day. It was painful and horrible. I would imagine its even worse without hospital care. I certainly wouldnt want to eat a horse any more than a dog(Ive owned both) unless I was starving. Very few people know what its like not to eat for weeks and months. Its easy to say "Id never eat that" until you feel the pain of starvation.
The wild horses rounded up for consumption are usually starving, malnourished at the least. So, to eat them is almost in vain If you hear its horse meat - you better fond out where its from.
It’s very lean, that’s why we make it medium rare. As a form of grounded meat without a sauce it’s so dry it’s hard to swallow, it just has no fat, in a recipe like chili, it’s fine. My mom always told us that it was given in sanatoriums to cure people because of the high iron, as a kid, we could complain all we want, my parents lived the war so it was forbidden to be fussy or waist food.
The New York example is bad. I can easily get liver and onions and sweet breads in Manhattan. For example any Argentine restaurant has grilled sweet breads come on guys
He wasn't saying you can't get it in NYC, he was saying it isn't a delicacy where he's from. It's just a normal meal, whereas in NYC you'd have to sit down at a fancy restaurant to eat those things.
@@IronHide3910 No you don't. They have it at A LOT of regular restaurants here in NYC. Outside of NY KFC in Indiana serves delicious fried chicken gizzards and hearts, and you can't get an less fancy than a good ol' liverwurst sandwich. It's really not a fancy thing here unless you're trying to call it Pate and serve it with wine.
i mom for a short time lived with her boyfriend (now husband) on a ranch he worked on. They had a calf she named "crooked legs" because it was deformed. She used to talk about it like it was a pet. Then later they killed it and ate it.... lol
It is illegal to sell wild Game in America. You can not hunt rabbit or deer and sell it to a restaurant or market. Any rabbit or deer you get from a market or restaurant in America was imported from a different country.
I moved to Belgium when I got married and horse is a delicacy in the area we live in. It's my husband's favorite. I was hugely weirded out the first time we ate it together but now it's something we eat fairly regularly. It seems like it's slowly fading from the menu though. Only a few of the larger grocery stores carry it. It's something you have to buy at a butcher and fewer of them are selling it too.
People in other countries playing red dead redemption 2 must be so confused on why you lose honor when you kill a horse and why you can't skin one because it's so normal over there lmao
LMAO in your world view there is a place in the world where it is normal to kill a horse....smh do yourself a favor and go take several trips outside the country. You need it.
@@alicedoors4826 what? In Italy we have a great number of horse farms that exist solely for eating their meat, exactly like a pig farm. The hell are you talking about? Maybe you should take a trip outside your country.

I just can't stand the way they speak and they seem to act just like Muslims who live in Israel. The food in Canada is very good.
Horse steak is the most succulent steak there is, when prepared well. In the Netherlands we have an old receipe: Horse steak braised in butter served with white bread and horse jus. The jus is the best you'll ever taste, and the steak just melts in your mouth .
Americans used to eat them too. And there never was a Royal decree for the British not to eat horse. That's bs. Joe's guests are a mine of misinformation. The Brits ate it until the 1930s when it went out of fashion.
Deer back straps as a kid were a delicacy in the hills of southern Ohio, nothing like hunting all morning then finally getting lucky and cutting up the deer yourself. We would always eat the back straps that same night, no other meat compares. Didn’t eat much other proteins other than that other than fried chicken hearts and gizzards from a small local food shop.
A F I wouldnt. Vegans dont allow their partners to choose their own diet. They will push and beat you down until you “willingly” adapt to their vegan diet too. Finding a non toxic vegan is honestly pretty rare
I traveled to Iceland a few years back and got to eat horse meat. I even brought some back to the states to enjoy. Wish it was more available in the states to enjoy.
I always thought that haggis sounded disgusting but I decided to try when I visited Scotland and I thought it was actually pretty good, I wouldn't make it at home but I could handle it if it was served at a friend's house. I had a Chinese roommate that talked me into trying chicken feet and I instantly gagged not because of how it tasted but because of the texture and how it felt when I bit into it. When I was a kid I went to a French festival in the south with my grandparents and had frog legs and escargot and I remember not being a fan of the frog legs but the escargot wasn't bad
Now if he'd said "Everybody in Canada would be speaking French" that would be a different story. All of North America though? Really nigga? So the French would have taken control of not only the US from the British, but also Mexico from the Spanish? The French monarchs would lose their heads in a few decades because of the war expenses they'd already incurred, and you're telling me they could've taken the whole damn continent? My ass cheeks.
It's the English. From what I was told horses weren't native to the English isles and they all had to be imported from other regions. Because the English harvest was so erratic before learning about crop rotation, they'd kill horses for food during a famine despite over spending for them to be brought in, so the royal decree was to make out illegal to kill horses and they used them solely as labor animals.
I think history is much more complicated than one battle in Quebec deciding that Canada and the USA became British rather than French. There were backroom negotiations going on in Europe at the time and I am sure that this battle was taken into account but hardly decisive.
As a Cajun this conversation made me super hungry. They left out a lot of the good proteins we grew up on like crawfish, alligator, liver pate, oysters, puldo, nutria and Bigano (Apple Snails).
@Big pimpin If pressed I would say it taste like a gamey rabbit soaked in either Tony Chachere or Slap Your Momma - but we ate a lot of rabbit as a kid so everything tastes like either rabbit or catfish.
I've had rabbit, duck, alligator, venison, elk, bison, and a lot of other types of protein you don't normally see in American restaurants...but I'm not interested in eating horse unless it's in a situation like what Joe described. Even then, if we had plenty of food I wouldn't even cut out the back straps. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that horses are animals that at least seem to have a connection to humans. Maybe it's because they're a working animal, maybe because they're clearly an intelligent animal, or maybe it's simply because you have to break a horse (you become responsible forever for what you have tamed). I also have zero interest in eating dog (including wild dogs), cat (including wild cats), dolphin, whale, any primate, and I'd imagine there's other animals. Again if I'm in a situation where I need food then I'm gonna do what I have to survive, but if someone offered me an entree that included any of those animals at a restaurant I'd pass. It's not because they're cute...I'll eat rabbit or lamb anytime.
It seems that no one mentioned that horses were also used as transportation and for putting a load or carriage on. If you eat the animal that you have other uses for, you limit one of the earliest form of transportation. You couldn't train a cow for transportation, or a llama, but we were able to train horses so we don't eat them.
I've been riding my whole life, so when I went to Iceland, it was a bucket list item of mine to ride the Icelandic ponies...For people who don't know, Icelandics have this fifth gait called the tölt that is super smooth. Anyway, I had just recovered from breaking my back the year before in a fall, so I thought the smooth gait would be perfect for a nice 3 hour, trotting only, trail ride in the mountains of Iceland...Except my pony didn't know how to tölt - so 2 minutes in I was almost in tears from pain but I didn't want to stop and ruin everyone else's ride. Long story short, by the end of the ride, I detested Icelandic ponies and had a hankerin' for Icelandic Pony meat. I found a restaurant where you could order pony, and I had no issues with ordering pony filets every night I was there. And you know what? They are fucking DELICIOUS. Iceland should import their pony meat to the US, I would happily pay $40/lb for it!
The first and last time I ate horse was soo similar. I was on a trip to Iceland and we went on a horse tour. My horse “picked me”, but I must have looked like someone who pissed him off because he proceeded to stray, stop, or kick throughout the entire tour. At one point I told the horse to stop acting up- he was going to get us in trouble- and he moved up to the front of the line and just stopped, holding everyone else up. It was so embarrassing. I really enjoyed my horse filet that evening.
@@nothinglikeburntvag one time when my grandpa and I were too hungry. We butchered his old horse as mercy killing so we can feed ourselves for almost a month. We just made sausages and soups out of her but I think she understood we were gonna eat her as she laid on the ground telling us to do it. This is a lesson for those idiots who want to live in a commie country. We only have a horse and nothing else and a small area to put that horse in and we just wrangle her anywhere with a grass so she can eat. If we had a dog we would've eaten that dog but keeping a dog is not only costly but you gotta it with your neighbors too.
@@janinebelleestrada7096 Animals do know when humans are going to kill them . My friend bought a Goat to butcher for his sons First Birthday Party a big celebration , anyway he had the goat about a week in his backyard and it would come running up to him during feeding time the day he was going to butcher the goat it didn't come running for the food in fact it was hiding it would peek it's head around the corner of a shed to see were my friend was . That goat definitely knew what my friend was up to.
I think at least some animals taste like what they smell like. I never realized that until I had chickens. When I'd throw leftover chopped onions, carrots, and celery that I got from work, into the coop, it'd smell exactly like chicken soup or a roast chicken. It was the combination of their natural body odor and poop, combined with the vegetables. It caught me off guard the first few times, because I didn't realize it was going to smell like that. I don't get to be around cows that much, but when I did see them at fairs after that I thought they do actually kind of smell like beef. I never really noticed that before because I wasn't thinking about it.
There's an American saying about making money investing in horses: "The only way to become a millionaire investing in horses is to start being a billionaire ". We in America don't eat them, they're overpriced pets.
Shell Cordovan (horse ass leather) is a very fine product. Will scratch, but doesn't wrinkle or crease with wear. Classically very popular for shoes and now wallets.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t iron deficiency a common thing in the US?
@@ValouQc Is it? Im a us citizen who donates blood and I never had a problem but I can't speak for others. You can get iron from so many things like fish, chicken and leafy greens.

Yeah, horsemeat, that's some real talk right there.
My grandparents would make Braciola using horse meat in Italy. They were pissed when they couldn't get horse meat here in the US.
Here in Europe they sell horse meat in supermarkets and it‘s fine. I don‘t understand people‘s aversion towards eating it when they eat pork, chicken, deer, etc. Horse meat is VERY high in protein, almost no fat and no carbs. Basically excellent for athletes and people training for muscle hypertrophy. Americans are missing out on something.
Sounds like a pretty dry meat.
Marcianus Valerius it’s. Pet that’s why!
There's not really an aversison to anything other than cats and dogs here. We have just traditionally used them for transportation rather than food.
Im sure people eat horse here.. I know a lot of people sell horse meat to Mexicans from Texas.
*also* fat is like the best part of the meat lol
I think it's a more complex emotional link. You can choose not to look in a loving way to animals you only eat, but one you pet is diferent. I would eat horse, but would never eat dog. It isn't rational, it's emotional.

They just recently started to hunt them for population control." And it tasted great!!!

Horses and dogs have helped humans survive and thrive. Even cats have helped by culling rodent populations. But cats are more based on cuteness. But horse and dog are seen as companions rather than food.

I went 8 months without food. I was in a hospital and even though I was getting fluids and basic nutrition thru an iv, I went from 185 to 126 and I was starving slowly. Imagine the worst hunger you ever had x20. Your stomach ties in knots and you get muscle cramps all day. It was painful and horrible. I would imagine its even worse without hospital care. I certainly wouldnt want to eat a horse any more than a dog(Ive owned both) unless I was starving. Very few people know what its like not to eat for weeks and months. Its easy to say "Id never eat that" until you feel the pain of starvation.
Joe Dirte lmao ur being a little dumb bro, he said he was in the hospital, maybe he just couldn’t eat for a medical reason? Duh
Only to survive is ok
The wild horses rounded up for consumption are usually starving, malnourished at the least. So, to eat them is almost in vain

Had it in Switzerland. Was just like steak.
It’s very lean, that’s why we make it medium rare.
As a form of grounded meat without a sauce it’s so dry it’s hard to swallow, it just has no fat, in a recipe like chili, it’s fine.
My mom always told us that it was given in sanatoriums to cure people because of the high iron, as a kid, we could complain all we want, my parents lived the war so it was forbidden to be fussy or waist food.

I was hugely weirded out the first time we ate it together but now it's something we eat fairly regularly. It seems like it's slowly fading from the menu though. Only a few of the larger grocery stores carry it. It's something you have to buy at a butcher and fewer of them are selling it too.

Horse steak is the most succulent steak there is, when prepared well. In the Netherlands we have an old receipe: Horse steak braised in butter served with white bread and horse jus. The jus is the best you'll ever taste, and the steak just melts in your mouth .
I think a more likely explanation is that Americans had a special relationship with horses due to the frontier wild west lifestyle.

Americans used to eat them too. And there never was a Royal decree for the British not to eat horse. That's bs.

No, a battle in Canada would not have determined whether or not we speak English in the United States.
Especially not that battle. The French were already on the back foot by then.
Now the French Indian wars might have changed things but even then...
Now if he'd said "Everybody in Canada would be speaking French" that would be a different story. All of North America though? Really nigga? So the French would have taken control of not only the US from the British, but also Mexico from the Spanish? The French monarchs would lose their heads in a few decades because of the war expenses they'd already incurred, and you're telling me they could've taken the whole damn continent? My ass cheeks.
@sum body what do you expect from a French?😂😂😂😂
About 30% of modern English vocabulary is already French. You guys are using it without even knowing.
It's the English. From what I was told horses weren't native to the English isles and they all had to be imported from other regions. Because the English harvest was so erratic before learning about crop rotation, they'd kill horses for food during a famine despite over spending for them to be brought in, so the royal decree was to make out illegal to kill horses and they used them solely as labor animals.
I think history is much more complicated than one battle in Quebec deciding that Canada and the USA became British rather than French. There were backroom negotiations going on in Europe at the time and I am sure that this battle was taken into account but hardly decisive.
I like how the people from central Asia do it you eat horse just don't eat your own horse you ride.

I've had rabbit, duck, alligator, venison, elk, bison, and a lot of other types of protein you don't normally see in American restaurants...but I'm not interested in eating horse unless it's in a situation like what Joe described. Even then, if we had plenty of food I wouldn't even cut out the back straps.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that horses are animals that at least seem to have a connection to humans. Maybe it's because they're a working animal, maybe because they're clearly an intelligent animal, or maybe it's simply because you have to break a horse (you become responsible forever for what you have tamed).
I also have zero interest in eating dog (including wild dogs), cat (including wild cats), dolphin, whale, any primate, and I'd imagine there's other animals. Again if I'm in a situation where I need food then I'm gonna do what I have to survive, but if someone offered me an entree that included any of those animals at a restaurant I'd pass.
It's not because they're cute...I'll eat rabbit or lamb anytime.
It seems that no one mentioned that horses were also used as transportation and for putting a load or carriage on. If you eat the animal that you have other uses for, you limit one of the earliest form of transportation. You couldn't train a cow for transportation, or a llama, but we were able to train horses so we don't eat them.

Me a resident of Montreal: GOD DAMMIT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME THAT WE WERE SO CLOSE
I've been riding my whole life, so when I went to Iceland, it was a bucket list item of mine to ride the Icelandic ponies...For people who don't know, Icelandics have this fifth gait called the tölt that is super smooth. Anyway, I had just recovered from breaking my back the year before in a fall, so I thought the smooth gait would be perfect for a nice 3 hour, trotting only, trail ride in the mountains of Iceland...Except my pony didn't know how to tölt - so 2 minutes in I was almost in tears from pain but I didn't want to stop and ruin everyone else's ride. Long story short, by the end of the ride, I detested Icelandic ponies and had a hankerin' for Icelandic Pony meat. I found a restaurant where you could order pony, and I had no issues with ordering pony filets every night I was there. And you know what? They are fucking DELICIOUS. Iceland should import their pony meat to the US, I would happily pay $40/lb for it!
The first and last time I ate horse was soo similar. I was on a trip to Iceland and we went on a horse tour. My horse “picked me”, but I must have looked like someone who pissed him off because he proceeded to stray, stop, or kick throughout the entire tour. At one point I told the horse to stop acting up- he was going to get us in trouble- and he moved up to the front of the line and just stopped, holding everyone else up. It was so embarrassing.
I really enjoyed my horse filet that evening.

I think at least some animals taste like what they smell like. I never realized that until I had chickens. When I'd throw leftover chopped onions, carrots, and celery that I got from work, into the coop, it'd smell exactly like chicken soup or a roast chicken. It was the combination of their natural body odor and poop, combined with the vegetables. It caught me off guard the first few times, because I didn't realize it was going to smell like that. I don't get to be around cows that much, but when I did see them at fairs after that I thought they do actually kind of smell like beef. I never really noticed that before because I wasn't thinking about it.
