Horse meat ain't so bad. It's even better when it's mixed in with beef. The only reason we are disgusted with eating horse meat is because we are used to seeing horses as majestic animals that little people ride on for money in Kentucky. If horses possessed special skills besides farting and mooing, we'd be disgusted by their meat too.
Fun Fact: You cannot ride a horse through Burger King drive-thrus.
Horse meat is higher in protein and lower in fat and nobody noticed a difference in taste until somebody tested the meat. Who cares? Any fast food burger pales in comparison to a real barbecued one, why not leave it up to the gods whether there's any other kind of meat in there?
If McDonald's was Jack in the Box, they'd capitalize on this. They'd have billboards that say, "NO HORSES HARMED." McDonald's is not. McDonald's maintains a sterile and safe advertising strategy. This has worked wonders for them. I'm lovin' it.
Fun Fact: Horse riders warm their buns on horses before they eat them.
When I was but a lad, my father used to say Jack in the Box tacos were made out of kangaroo meat. He didn't like Jack in the Box and this was done to gross us kids out. It didn't.
"If this is kangaroo meat, I fuckin' prefer it," I said seconds before a fresh bar of Irish Spring hit my mouth.
We're eating crap anyways. Horse meat is legal everywhere and was only made legal in the United States recently because Americans can't get over eating their friends. The issue should be that Burger King is mislabeling their meats, not that they're expanding our tastes to a more exotic palette.
Look, I've eaten a gator sausage. Alligators can be cute and cuddly but, god damn, chunk them up into a sausage and I'm salivating.
Listen, I don't want to beat a dead horse too much but you've got to tenderize it.
Japanese don't even bat an eye at horse meat on a menu. It's common practice here. Not to mention it's mostly served raw.
ReplyDeleteNot every horse can be a race horse, some can be beautiful cows.
DeleteAll red meat should be served basically raw. If it's medium anything, you should just become vegetarian.
Burger King Burger is really great and delicious. But Horse Meat? It's really bad idea and I think it would not be in their menu.
