Can you tell horse meat from cow meat? I doubt if I can.


I once found, in an Italian supermarket in the Veneto, some Bresaola
which was the real thing: horse not beef. The flavour I would describe
as tasting much as a horse smells.


Horse milk is nice (had it in Mongolia) - closer to cow's milk than goat's
is to cows.

Henry Williamson, author of Tarka the Otter, wrote a volume of his
autobiography called Donkey Boy (the big 15-volume work being A
Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight). For as a baby he was very ill and was
given donkey milk - which, apparently, is about the closest to human
milk of all the reasonably common animals.

Just had my goats milk on porage oats for breakfast...
