Well, been working up in Ottawa Canada, on and a little off over the last 4 weeks. I remember some discussion either here, or on another forum, about eating horse meat. Being as the area I'm in is right on the border between Ontario and Quebec, some stores carry it. So, I decided to give it a shot.
This is what I found, top sirloin:



Not too bad in price, unlike beer in Ontario...


Cooked in a counter top toaster oven/broiler, with some shrooms, onions, and garlic toast:


All in all, wasn't bad. Reminded me of venison, specifically a young doe/fawn, as far as flavor. Was a bit chewy, but not really bad. I would like to try the loin meat. This really didn't have much for marbeling or fat, and I wonder if a better cut would have different flavor. Thanks for looking!

Great title man...lol... Cool on you for trying it. I think I will if I get a chance... (Maybe)

What are the chances of you sneaking some of that back in a false bottom suitcase for me to try

I well imagine if it has the flavor profile of a young deer, then a ribeye cut would be FANTASTIC

Not worth the hassle of getting caught and subjected to "special" treatment every time I cross the border. Its hard enough just getting into Canada for work, I don't want to deal with it on both sides of the border......

Good for you for trying. It actually doesn't look too bad but I don't think I could do it...

OK I get the philisophical irrelevance of wether it's beef, pork, lamb or horse, and I applaud your open mindedness, , ,but damn, , ,think I'd have to be pretty damn hungry AND drunk as a monkey to eat a horse. Still if ya ever stopped by to say hello, don't think I would introduce you to my dog
