Horsemeat - 0 cooking recipes

The fashion for horse meat, passed down from Asian traditions, was not widespread, and as a result, among meat products, horse meat is one of the rarest and most difficult to obtain. Currently, and in the foreseeable future, any dish with horse meat is considered more of a delicacy, exotic, than everyday food. This type of meat remains a normal part of the diet only in Central Asia, among some small nations of Siberia and the Far East. The leading producer of horse meat is Mongolia. Slightly more common than pure horse meat are sausages with horse meat. In the case of sausages, horse meat generally makes up a small percentage of the sausage mince, giving it properties such as elasticity and toughness. In a number of civilized countries, such as the USA and Great Britain, it is not customary to raise horses for meat, and it is almost impossible to find sold horse meat there. For obvious reasons, recipes with horse meat are inferior in quantity to recipes with beef, pork, etc. In a dish that includes other meat, this same meat can be replaced with horse meat, as a taste experiment. As a rule, young stallions and fillies are slaughtered for meat. The meat of adult horses is very tough and therefore less popular with consumers.
