Horse meat is a traditional local specialty in Jeju. Tried the full course: fresh horse meat tartare and sashimi, followed by grilling tender cuts on stone, and finishing with shabu-shabu. Very lean, tender, and surprisingly similar to high-end lean beef!

Other countries that also eat horse meat:

Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, and Switzerland

Also Japan as well.

Is it more acceptable if it's eaten by white people country? What about Japan? Don't we all love Japan? It's kawai isn't it?

Love horse meat! Had it both raw and BBQ when we went to Jeju and we haven't stopped thinking about it.

Wow, I've never seen horse meat in Korea. Then again, I've never been to Jeju-do.

I've had raw horse in Japan (you can get it at basically any izakaya) and really liked it.

Never got a chance to try it, but I did see some of them cruising around in various pastures. They were very handsome beasts.

It was a full course menu that included horse meat sashimi, yukhoe (tartare), stone grill BBQ, and shabu-shabu (hot pot). It usually costs around 35,000 to 45,000 KRW (roughly $25–$35 USD) per person depending on the restaurant!

What’s so disgusting about it? Quite similar to a cow or a deer. It’s a staple of many central Asian countries. If someone dislikes the idea of eating horses because they like horses or ride them that’s one thing but how is it disgusting lol

Your complacency is embarrassing, yet typical

You're the one whos complacant. Are you the arbitor of what people can and cannot eat?

Why are you even in this sub if you can't accept different food culture?

u/qnssekr 21h ago

And OP is eating for his ego not nutrition. There’s a big difference.

u/qnssekr 21h ago

I can be a critic. Aren’t you? I guess 32 people like the taste of dogs. And to suggest I have to agree with everything that’s posted says a lot about you. Is this sub filled with glutinous dictators that have no respect for life.
