Several years ago the FDA began to approve the inspection of horse meat for human consumption. It still isn't a popular meat in the US. But neither is octopus, squid (except when served as Calamari,) but are common daily foods in Asia, Bat brains (popular in the Western Caroline Islands,) Balut (popular in the P.I.) It's really only in the past 20 years that American have begun eating raw fish, and there is still a majority who insist that it is better used as bait than food!
