how normal or abnormal is eating the following kinds of meat where you live?
- rabbit
- horse
- dog

here in belgium:
rabbit: normal.
horse: fairly normal. it's available at the butcher's, but i don't think many people actually eat it.
dog: not done.

I spent three nights in Brussels, it was pretty cool. Mmmm, waffles.

i have never heard of anyone eating those things, but i'm sure people eat rabbit like in the UP. one day when i was working in the meat shoppe someone brought in a bear to be made up into steaks n what not. so if people eat bear, i wouldn't be surprised if they ate horse and dog.

i know they eat dog in (parts of) china, for example.

I didn't know people ate horse. Color me surprised.

none, none, and none.

Only rabbit.

so many of them.

<i>Austria:</i>
Rabbit: Not totally uncommon.
Horse: Ditto, though it's mostly salami.
Dog: Not at all, I suppose.

horse salami?

here in illinois:
rabbit: i wouldn't say it's "normal", but people do eat it. i've never had it, and i don't see it in stores. on a side note, i really like the word "hasenpfeffer"
horse: no
dog:no

horse salami?

Exactly.

In PA a lot of woodsy people like to talk about eating deer all the time. I've had deer jerky once, and it's not bad.


As for rabbit, horse, and dog... one ultra woodsy person may have tasted rabbit before, that's about it.

<i>Motherfuckers around here eat road kill.</i>

None to all of the above in Connecticut but rabbit in Kentucky is relatively common. I've seen it in some grocery stores but I don't think they always carry it.

Eating rabbit is great. I'd be down for eating some horsey.

I only eat racehorses. *polishes monocle*

this is strange. rabbit is a pretty common meat where i come from. maybe it's a german thing or a rural thing but i never realised that it was special or anything. i'm obviously talking about domestic rabbits.

horse meat is still somewhat exotic around here, but easily available.

eating dog is a crime in germany.

UK

Rabbit: Rare
Horse: Never
Dog: Never

rabbit: rare
horse: medium-rare
dog: well done

None of those are normal where I live exactly-- I'm sure people would pitch a fit if they were widely available to purchase/consume, even though this is supposed to be some great culturally diverse and accepting community (yeah right). But if I travelled down to the bay area I could see some of those on display in Oakland at the Asian markets and whatnot.

rabbits are OVERRUNNING THE LAND here so i imagine rabbits are eaten by hunters and people who like the taste of shot

you can eat a dog here but you have to wrap it in a sheepskin first

also you can marry a dog here but you have to wrap it in a sheepskin first

my dad used to buy horse meat in grad school because it was cheaper than beef

and that horse meat bore him a miracle child. the child was named alex and was the apple of his father's eye until one terrible day
