Right, I'm gonna say it - I've eaten horse. It's very tough and gamey, bit like mutton but far less fatty. I've eaten most meats to be honest, I grew up going shooting with my dad and if we shot it, we ate it. Rabbit, hare, pigeon, pheasant, squirrel, venison, whatever. It's no different to eating a cow or a pig! Although I wouldn't eat dog purely because I'm a dog lover and wouldn't want to scare my dogs
As for what darren's saying, your damn right. My dads mate is a wholesale butcher, he's an ex-slaughterman and sources all the meat from farmers he knows in the trade. He sells cheap because he sellls in bulk, and if something doesn't taste good and isn't 100% what it should be he won't sell it, because he won't sell anything he wouldn't eat. Best bit is, he's cheaper than the supermarket in many ways. The price per pound can be a bit more but when you lob a rasher of bacon in the pan, it doesn't shrink up because it hasn't been packed full of water!
It's him I'll get the meat for the April meet BBQ, trust me, you'll taste the difference
