Stephen always buys himself a piece of horse for at least one meal and after discussing its low fat properties I bought myself one.
Last night the menu was - Barbecued Horse with chips and mixed steamed vegetables...
This was followed by Fresh Strawberries in a Meringue nest with fat free Fromage Frais.
My verdict on the Horse was that it will be staying on the supermarket shelf in the future.
Now what else can I try whilst Elizabeth is away!!

At leat it was correctly labelled as 'horse'.
Are you sure Elizabeth would have allowed the chips?? ;o)
I hope they were low fat chips !!
What didn't you like about the horse meat?
Does it need to be slower cooked perhaps? BBQ cooking isn't very forgiving for anything but very good meat I find. We cooked braised steak last night for 2 hours and it was delicious - perhaps the horse needs the same treatment?
Gaynor / Jean, the chips are OK I have eaten them before with no pain... They are frying chips cooked in the oven. I think the veggy oil does not give me any problems. Susan, it was the taste I did not care for. I have sampled horse before but only a mouthful. I will stick to the lean grilling beef steak in future.
Craig, you could well be correct, it would have gravy and that would change the flavour. Not going to try it though!!
I suspect the 'ice-cream fairy' is waiting out of shot to add the finishing touch to your pudding!! from Elizabeth
