For that matter, I didn't make any assumptions about horsemeat in general. I only said this particular package of horsemeat was not appealing to me.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure if I were in Xinjiang and was offered horsemeat, it would taste much better than this package.

That does look -- well, something I wouldn't want to eat.<BR/><BR/>Horse is one of those things I have yet to try, but I don't think I'll be trying it real soon. I just don't have a great desire to get that horse notch on my culinary belt. I think it has something to do with their hair: it seems too human-like to me.
