Actually, I had a vivid image of a satyr delivering pizza, lol..... Satyr -Classical Mythology. One of a class of woodland deities, attendant on Bacchus, represented as part human, part horse, and sometimes part goat and noted for riotousness and lasciviousness.

Just done evening stables under a bright moonlit sky, trees popping as the mercury dips, -27C presently. The vehicle is plugged in for an early morning start and I am now enjoying a hot buttered rum prior to crawling between the sheets. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Ever try: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The Ron Zacapa is produced from a blend of vintage rums with up to 23 years of barrel age, Ron Zacapa Centenario represents the pride of Guatemalan rums, the pride of closely guarded recipes known only to skilled master blenders, and the pride of a government that strictly mandates the aging process. Rich chestnut color. A Christmas spice and caramel fudge nose. This full-bodied rum has rich brown spice, vanilla and subtle toffeed flavors envelope the palate with sugar caney sweetness. Has a super smooth and lengthy finish. A stylish and very hedonistic aged rum. Guatemalan Rum must be made of "cane honey," which is essentially cane juice conscentrate. $34.99
Going through the Yukon Liquor Store Price List and observing that I shall not be able to enjoy trying the Ron Zacapa blended vintage rum as suggested by Cosmic. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://www.ylc.yk.ca/pdf/price_book.pdf
Thank you for the link Cosmic, but laws in Canada in relation to alcohol are considerably different than in the U.S. I can ask the liquor store to order it in and they might consider it, but unless things have changed, I don't believe that I can order it direct.

Chowing down prior to spending some time outdoors with my horses. This was yummy! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I have never eaten horse either, yet it is considered to be tasty and horses are very clean animals compared to some species destined for the table. Depicted here is a Ukrainian traditional dish.

The antipathy that we have to eating some creatures over others is very interesting, IMO. :shrug: Still, I know that I couldn't raise horses for the table, although I have raised meat rabbits in the past and several of my friends raise broiler chickens, geese, pheasants and/or turkeys.
I've heard that in some provinces here, they mix in horse meat with beef and pass the beef off as 100% pure... Not that I mind, but I just think of the poor horsie and I'm all Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Perhaps in Quebec or at some specialty shops. We do not have a regulated horse meat industry in Canada, and while many horses may find their way into the food chain, they are not specifically raised for meat and so the quality can be variable because of the variety in their diet, age and activity. http://www.homemakers.com/blog/danasblog/2009/08/17/behind-the-barn-door/ Horses are a strong symbol of our heritage and while I would eat the meat to ensure my survival, it would not be my first recourse, to eat my friends....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It may well be a reflection of a general taboo among many peoples against eating horse meat that it has no generic 'table name'.
Around these parts, the horses are well fed and in no danger of becoming dining fare. There is a horse in my stable at the moment, and she shall just have to wait a few minutes until I enjoy my breakfast, an omelette cooked by the man of the house.

Why not? When you eat your friends they live on inside you. When you don't they live on inside maggots.
Looks delightful......for those who eat raw fish. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! It is not a taste that I have ever acquired, however, and with the increasing contamination of so much of our planet and oceans, I'm narrowing my food sources rapidly. :bugeye:
I would not decline horse meat if it was served to me, and if food were scarce, I suppose I would have to offer up one of my steeds for the greater good of the community. :bugeye: Horses are animals with so much potential that it seems disrespectful to consider them solely as a food source which may be why our ancestors domesticated them in the first place. My relationship with my present horses would be considerably compromised if I were contemplating which one to send to the butcher, I'm thinking. Their motivation to work with me is largely derived from a basis of mutual trust. I strive to honor my commitments.....even those that I make to my animals, to provide for them and keep them from harm. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
