So Hungry I Could Eat a Horse.


Thursday, 14th February 2013.
Kings Bromley Marina.

As Halfie has brought up the delicate subject of horse meat I feel I should tell people that it's ok to eat a horse as long as it's fresh and cooked properly like any other meat.  
 
Jayne and I are living proof that there are no after effects.
           
In 1972 whilst marauding around Europe in a Transit minibus a group of us found ourselves in a Swiss cafe/bar and hungry, we ordered steak and chips (and plenty of beer) as the English do when abroad and  were served with what I remember as one of the best steaks ever, halfway through we found out it was probably horse but nobody bothered we just carried on eating and drinking, perhaps the waitress mis-understood when we said.

"We're so hungry we could eat a horse".

Now, why didn't I think of that title?
