I still don't get what people have against eating horsemeat... where I come from it's just sold in the butchery, along with cow, pork, sheep and everything else.
involved in this meat affair should not throw away the mislabeled food,
I can see raising a stink about being sold horsemeat, under the pretense that you were buying something else. Not only have you fallen victim to false advertising, in that case, but poor regulatory enforcement as well, as one of the early steps in meat production inspection should most surely be, "Are you butchering the right animal?"Fully agree there, manufacturers should be honest about what they're putting in their food. My post was more aimed at the "oh god there's horsemeat in it what do we do with it now" attitude - it's not like horses are poisonous or anything...

/me has eaten donkey here in China.and dog?
/me thinks donkey is ****ing delicious.
my view on feeding the homeless:
feed the dead ones to the live ones.
Most headlines I come across mention bute, some kind of growth drug./me has eaten donkey here in China.and dog?
/me thinks donkey is ****ing delicious.
But Horses? Budgies? Cats? No way!!! Can't eat *cute* animals!!! :P Poor pigs just ain't cute enough.
To be perfectly fair, if human children tasted like bacon we'd be eating them. :P

Who says they don't?
I know, I was just being silly. It's my understanding that historically horses where first hunted to be consumed as food, before being domesticated.
Everything that is weird to you... has been perfectly normal to eat for someone, somewhere, at some point in history. :p
Only meat I've ever tried that is better is Yak. Yak ****s on Kobe beef.
Yak steak is like 5 deliciousnesses above Bison steaks. I think Bison makes a better burger though.

See the dangers on this? When you start eating weird things, you don't know when to stop... :shaking:fries from Mcdonalds come to mind :p

Bison has almost no fat content, so it makes a terrible anything if it isn't ground up and mixed with egg/cheese/something with fat content first. We make our burgers with cheddar and BBQ sauce mixed in with the meat. Mmmm mmmm. Elk and moose aren't bad either, but bison has less of a gamey taste to it.

Out of interest, where did you find Yak steaks? I've only ever eaten them in Yunnan.
But does it make good hamburger? Because I did that once. Heresy that it was, using Kobe beef that way, but hey, you get some from a restaurant friend...

Given that pretty much any animal who eats a human has to be killed cause of the danger that it will come back for more, I'm of the opinion that humans must taste like Pringles.
Humans are decidedly not easy prey. Individual humans, sure, but the thing is, if you kill one there's a probability of several of them banding together to hunt you down in return, which will end badly.
The animal doesn't need to know. Animals who develop a taste for human flesh don't tend to live long enough to breed, and therefore don't pass it on to the next generation. Same reason humans usually dislike bitter tasting things: natural poisons tend to taste bitter.
I still don't get what people have against eating horsemeat... where I come from it's just sold in the butchery, along with cow, pork, sheep and everything else.The problem with this comment is that it's just like: "Oh, we have a lot of crap here no one of our spoiled middle-class citizens wants to eat anymore for some reason. What do we do with it? Oh well, let's give it to the poor. It's good enough for them."
And I'm against destroying food on principle, I'd much rather it be distributed to the poor. People living under a bridge, spending their day begging on the streets, in the hope of gathering enough for a single sandwich that evening - offer them a free lasagna, and I'm confident that they couldn't care less what animal it came from.

That's why it is just disgusting. Our Minister of Mental Depletion stroke again (not that I'd expect anything else from this guy).
Why don't we feed the stuff to FDP members on their party meetings? Would help saving the FDP a lot of money which is really important for them as they experience somewhat of a member drain as I heard lately. :D

i'm expecting a certain trekkie to wander in and comment on this sudden development.Ha! Human meat. Too soft. Not nearly as good as targ meat!
i believe the point was a human without tools is stupid easy prey. we have no natural defense mechanisms and are comparatively slow and weak.
Indeed i wasn't. I was expecting the one with scales! :mad:i'm expecting a certain trekkie to wander in and comment on this sudden development.Ha! Human meat. Too soft. Not nearly as good as targ meat!
Ka'plah!
(I bet you, you weren't expecting that. :p )
endurance doesn't help much when you need to out-sprint something that wants to eat you.
i believe the point was a human without tools is stupid easy prey. we have no natural defense mechanisms and are comparatively slow and weak.
I don't think anyone is saying we lack defence mechanisms. What we're lacking is offensive weaponry or any form of natural defence like a shell or poisonous flesh, etc.
Are we also going to complain about the Hermit Crab's lack of "natural" shell for instance?

I think it's perfectly acceptable to say that unless it's found a shell to hide in that a hermit crab is very vulnerable.
Like a hermit crab, if left without the tools we use for offence and protection, a human will rapidly attempt to get new ones. You don't see a shark doing that.

just what nature provided you with.In response to that^ (Lorric quote)
But like Luis Dias was saying, that's a silly way of putting things. It's like saying without water, sharks are vulnerable to predation!
While I'll agree with you that without tools and alone a human is very easy prey, the simple fact is that humans were rarely alone and without tools.
Yes, I was talking about a human without any tools. Just your bare hands, just what nature provided you with.
I'd like to know how this piece of human garbage would have got along if he hadn't had his gun:
