I've often fancied trying it when in France, but it never seems to be on the menu. In Brive in September I order Steak Hache Cheval - turned out to be ordinary steak hache (bit like a beef burger) with an egg on top!

Just like steak but tougher.

I remember in the 70's there being rumours of transport cafes selling horse meat in pies. If you went into a transport cafe and the menu was 'Meat and Potatoe pie, Meat and Kidney pie, Meat and Onion pie' then you were possibly getting horse meat as they hadn't said what kind of meat it really was! Who knows!!!!!

Hi everyone,I think that, for generations, armies throughout the world used horse meat (or camel meat) known as food 'on the hoof'. The animals could carry men and equipment and then be killed, when necessary, for food. It also solved the logistical problems of getting food from A to B, often to the 'front line'. Sometimes, if an animal was shot by the enemy then, again, it could be used for eating.Ian
