[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 9 points 3 years ago (2 children) How does horse compare to other meats? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Aux@lemmy.world [S] 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Mmm, I had horse many times in my life. To me it tastes like horse. I'd say it has a bit more taste than beef (beef is quite bland IMHO, not really a fan) so more similar to pork in this regard. But less fat than pork. It is about as chewy as good lamb. For me personally horse is a better lean steak than beef. But beef is better when it has a lot of fat. Basically, horse meat has taste, but in beef fat has taste. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) That sounds a lot like deer which is what I was assuming you'd say! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] norbert@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago* I thought of venison too. Venison has a very iron-y taste which I enjoy. This looks pretty similar to it, nice and dark red. Horse isn't something we eat where I'm from but I'd definitely try it given the opportunity. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aux@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 3 years ago Venison is gamey. Because it is a game meat. Horse is not. They are very similar texturally indeed, but the flavour is completely different. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 3 years ago I had horse meat sashimi once in Korea and I remember it being sweeter. permalink fedilink source parent
