Also NL. I feel that the opinions have shifted last couple of decades. Anectdotal maybe, when I was younger eating horse meat wasn't something one thought about much. My mother used to go into town especially for buying horse steak, because "they are way better than cow beef steak". Recently I asked her if she still buys it. "Horse meat? No!". She forgot about how we always ate it.
- bombcar 4y agoIn the US at least there's a perception of it being "lower quality/class" meat, so that may also play into it (especially in media, etc).
- wsc981 4y agoWhen I was young I lived in the province Drenthe. We visited our grandparents every weekend. My grandfather would often have horse meat for dinner. At the time I quite enjoyed it. I was young and didn’t think much of it. Once I got a bit older my father mentioned once that he thought horse meat smelled like pee. At that point I stopped eating horse meat. However I am not even sure if there was some truth in what my father said at the time … seems unlikely.
