I've eaten horse, it was delicious. My mum bought it in a market in Tenerife and didn't tell me and my sister what it was until afterwards, and TBH I wouldn't have tried it if I had known as I was a very fussy eater who would not try new things.

As I understand it, the main argument against horse meat is the way in which the horses are slaughtered. As an actual meat product though I have no problem with it, as long as the horses are slaughtered as quickly and painlessly as cows, pigs and chickens.
