Forget Bambi, Try Black Beauty

Horse steak. Yelp – horse steak.

That was supper last night: Horse steak and a baked potato.

You may be wondering where we obtained such a rare delicacy as you would be hard pressed to find it in a USA grocery store. The short answer – and the only one that protects the innocent – is that we live in the mountains of Idaho…  enough said. Innocent

Back to the steaks.

It was pretty good. A tad tough – but not really chewy…just tough. It would do better as a stew instead of a steak.

One thing I noticed is that horse meat is a lot redder then bovine. So much so that my stomach tried to rebel before supper… however, I was able to talk my stomach into calming down and trying some of the delicacy. Tongue out
