Icelander here. Horse foal meat is some of the more expensive meat you can have at the finer restaurants in the country. At every butcher shops you can find foal meat, and most if not all supermarkets carry horse meat in some way (frozen, salted, smoked or as a sausage etc).
The finer foal cuts are really some of the best meat I have ever tasted. Highly recommend.
- NelsonMinar 4y agoThe perfect main course after the whale appetizer!
- MrDresden 4y agoWhile grazing animals can be slaughtered in a much quicker and "humane" fashion, whaling is a gruesome practice that can take a long time. I am absolutely against whaling.
- pigtailgirl 4y ago-- most intense lamb I've ever tried was in Iceland - had lamb many many times in Scotland and it was gamey - but the lamb in Iceland was next level - in fact it was so intense that I tried it at another restaurant the next day just to see if it was the place I'd eaten - nope - just as strong - I wondered why - if you happened to know --
- MayeulC 4y agoMale mutton tends to have a stronger taste, especially when older, where it can get too strong. It might depend on the age at which the lamb was slaughtered, as there is more meat as they grow older. (My parents raise a few sheep).
- meheleventyone 4y agoAll the sheep in Iceland are let out in the spring and spend their entire time living wild before being rounded up in autumn (which is a really big event). So they spend a lot more time eating quality food and mountain herbs. Makes all the difference. Lamb here really is amazing.
- dagurp 4y agoIt's pretty cheap if you buy it in stores
- nix23 4y agoI think foal meat is a little bit too sweet for my taste, however i absolutely like horse-meat, we (Switzerland) even have specialized butchers (pferdemetzgerei) for horse-meat. Best meat next to (well prepared) camel.
