Why don't we eat goat or horse?
Discussion
We are blessed with agricultural lands and know how that have historically enabled us to raise sheep and beef easily and cheaply, goats tend to be eaten where other choices are too expensive or not possible to be raised commercially.
We don’t eat horses because we hold them in higher esteem, now as a pet/hobby but originally because they were our means of getting from A to B. If you eat your transport it’s the ultimate blow out feed with repercussions
One life, live it?
One wife, livid

Really? We slaughter tens of thousands of them every year & feed them to our pets. We just don't like to own up to how they are disposed of by seeing them on the shelves in Waitrose. Mr Pointy said:

Thats true, but in the same way that an 8 month of lamb is nicer than an old ewe, I doubt a 12 year old horse would be very tender. Given that 3 years ago horse was found in all manner of supermarket products, the fact nobody had noticed suggests its not unpalatable, or for most people even distinguishable from beef.

Had a horse burger once - now maybe a poor receptor or poor cooking or not the freshest but it was not good vs my usual burger which I’m a massive fan.

Well we do. Horse meat is eaten worldwide and goat is eaten in many places throughout the world where the grazing will not support sheep and cattle. African and North African, Middle Eastern, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Caribbean cuisines all feature goat, as well as mountainous regions all over the world.

Love a bit of goat. Needs slow cooking but it's nice.
Horse is a bit like beef but with less fat. Shreds up superbly.
I have 8 tins of Equinox in the cupboard at the moment. It's the only tinned 'oss I could get recently.
There was a lot more choice of canned Shergar in France a few years ago.
