Traditional pasta was folded up to 100 times because of the impurities in the pasta. It's not necessary with modern materials and mostly done now for ornamental lasagna.
Horse meat is absolutely tasty, and if it wasn't so unpopular it'd probably be in the same price range as beef, overall the market is quite small, and absolutely zero horses are raised for meat. Bluntly said at the end of a horse's career an owner is asked "do you want an urn, vacuum packs, or not pay anything I'll sell the meat". If your dietary preference for meat is animals which have been loved and pampered all their life horse is a very good choice.
Trouble with the scandal back then was that it was all untracked horse meat. And there's plenty of horses around which get treated with veterinary drugs that make them unsuitable for human consumption because no owner is prioritising slaughter over their health.
I ate horse meat before. It was chewy, and I have special ethical issues with it, like for me it's like eating a Dog. It does not matter even if it where tasty.
Your dog would not mind eating your horse. Your dog also wouldn't mind eating you.
There's two principal reasons why people make a difference between cats/dogs on the one side and horses on the other: The degree to which they're family, but very crucially also to the degree to which horses, or cows, very much aren't carnivores, it's about position on the foodchain, how much heavy metals etc. accumulate, that's not just a modern thing it's always been the case. That's why eating dogs is an exception among human cultures, while with cows not eating them is the exception.
Nah, you're just occupying another spot on it. And unless you're an algae or something, literally living from light and elements floating about in the air and sea, you're not at the bottom.
The ecology expands beyond your pet ethical considerations.
Side question: Would you begrudge your dog eating your corpse? If you love them so much, why don't you feed them, when that is all you have left to give?
The first paragraph is absolute nonsense, there's no need to make false statements to justify a position irrespective of whether you're vegan or vegetarian or anything else.
In the sensitivity analysis, the environmental footprint of vegan diets is between 5% (CH4) and 38% (water use) of the footprint of high meat-eaters. For low meat-eaters, the impact is between 37% (land use) and 67% (water use) of high meat-eaters.
Dietary impacts of vegans were 25.1% (95% uncertainty interval, 15.1–37.0%) of high meat-eaters (≥100 g total meat consumed per day) for greenhouse gas emissions, 25.1% (7.1–44.5%) for land use, 46.4% (21.0–81.0%) for water use, 27.0% (19.4–40.4%) for eutrophication and 34.3% (12.0–65.3%) for biodiversity.
You can feel how you want, but the water burden thing is just factually incorrect. A pound of beef uses a LOT more water to raise than a pound of lentils. Or are you forgetting that you also have to use water to grow the stuff that the cow eats?
It's pretty much an Anglo Saxon exception that horse meat isn't eaten... It's not as popular as it once was in Quebec, but it used to be readily available...
I joke that it's the Very Wasteful Caterpillar. Damn thing eats a single hole through the middle of a fruit, abandons it, and moves onto the next food item. Not cool, caterpillar. Not cool.
I always knew lasagna was horse. How else could they glue the layers together?
They deliver it at superluminal speeds and the speed keeps everything together.
I heard they fold the pasta seven times in the traditional way

Eh, it goes on the plate like frogs do. Horse meat is great and cheaper than beef here
le francé?
Oui

I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don't have to have weird moral arguments with myself.

Yup
Horse salami is sorta kinda common I would say. Not as in "in every household"-common, but still not unusual. Can't remember what it tastes like tho.
I checked the best before dates of all the beef lasagne meals I have... and they're off
How did I get to thirty before realizing the expression comes from people eating horses when they're starving and have no other option
Buddy, I'm 41, and I always thought until just now it was saying you were "so hungry you could eat a(n entire) horse."
That's how I've always interpreted it too.
OHHH
I thought it's just because horses are so big, because you're so hungry that nothing smaller could satisfy your hunger.
So, if you're even hungrier than that, the expression could be "I'm so hungry I could eat Jimmy".
Which expression? I'm fluent in English but don't know all expressions
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
Makes sense. Thanks!

Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.
I'm talking about the 2000s... Horse meat can still be found in some groceries, I think it's still more common in France than in Quebec though
I know, I was joking in sort of a not-jokey-very-dry sort of way.
I wish there was a universal (lawl I’m unserious but being very dry about it) tag. Because that stuff doesn’t translate to text well at all.
Such a layer of emotion and presentation behind communication to get around! So difficult! And I have a degree based around doing exactly that…
On a side note, we have dry humor which implies a wet humor and.. I’m curious what that is but I sort of don’t want to know…?
This hungry:

Not that hungry...
Yet...
So hungry, I could eat a The Picard Maneuver!
Have you eaten one before?
Underrated post
I'm so hungry I could eat 55 BURGERS 55 FRIES 55 TACOS 55 PIES 55 COKES 100 TATER TOTS 100 PIZZA 100 TENDERS 100 MEATBALLS 100 COFFEES 55 WINGS 55 SHAKES 55 PANCAKES 55 POTATOES 55 PASTAS AND 155 TATERS
This sounds line a K.Flay song somehow.
And a diet Coke! Gotta watch your calories, after all.
It always bothered me that this place sells both tacos and meatballs.
Elongated nostrils, white showing in the eyes and ears close to the neck. That is a very angry horse.
Widened eyes and flaring nostrils can also be fear, no?
Safe to assume that it's not a happy Dobbin
It's a horse. There's always at least 90% fear
You're laughing now, but just you wait until the invisible broom movers come for you!
In any case, that horse is ready to go
True, the raised head could indicate that. Hard to tell from a picture alone.
Absolutely worth it
Horse Burger?
Neigh, but the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had

Ooh I've been there
Just win that race ok
Calm down, I said eat out 😏
This post is about a horse, sir.
Not a cow... like your mom!
You just roasted the shit out his mom.
What a shame, I prefer a medium rare
Relevant username.
Where I live it’s common enough that there is a stall in the farmers market that sells horse meat and sausage.
Brotha neighhh
Totally forgot about that.
Why did your drug test came back positive
horse meat man
I actually ate horsemeat once at a (supposedly) Mongolian restaurant. Nothing memorable compared to other types of meat
There's a good chance I ate it unknowingly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_horse_meat_scandal
some days,
you are juust mortadella di cavallo hungry
