Horsemeat, what should i expect?

[Mehula]

Hi there, first of all could i ask is it legal to import horsemeat into the uk? My friend is from a small french province and will be sending me a few kilos of her finest horsemeat which is from free range falabella foals which are a delicacy there.
What does horsemeat taste like and what would be the best way to serve this and with what?

[MarkRae]

No idea if it's legal to import it or not, but the taste is somewhere between beef and venison, maybe a bit sweeter.

As to how to cook it, that will depend on how it arrives. If it's steaks, then do what you'd do with a beef steak. It's often eaten minced and raw with herbs and spices in the form of a tartare.

LMAO!!!

I very much doubt that felebella horse meat exists, considering its a rare miniature horse breed.

Nice try though ;-)

I was tempted to say that it tastes a bit like swan...

Falabella foal meat has a natural kick to it so beware, it can give you the trots.
