Horse cake?

vxf · 01-19-2013, 05:03 PM

I grew up in Italy, horse-meat carpaccio is still fairly common - which is not just horse-meat, but raw horse-meat. I never really gave it a second-thought, but I was never really a fan of it either... horse-meat tends to be a bit too sweet and chewy for my taste, especially raw like that.

Anyhow, while I do not really care for horse-meat, I do truly miss eating rabbit, which is always hard to find in the USA. Which I don't get. Horse, fine. But rabbit is tasty!

In France horsemeat is still very common, and on demand available in Germany too (although a bit expensive).
By now ostrich is more common than horse.

In southern Japan too.

Interesting... I could never get used to the taste of rabbit. Or squirrel, for that matter. Even disguised in a stew, they both have unpleasant taste, for me, that is. Both are popular meats for others.

I ate horsemeat once in Lausanne, Switzerland. It was absolutely fine. But crocodile is far more interesting, like rather rich and chewy shrimp.

Following Mary Berry's perfect Victoria sandwich recipe? (I've watched way too many episodes of The Great British Bake Off)

Well, yes, of course. Although I have had the recipe in Mary Berry's Ultimate Cake Book for some time before the Great British Bake-off.

And very good it is too!

That does look tasty... I wonder how many calories a 1/6 slice would be, with the jam AND the whipped cream? Perhaps if I didn't eat for the next few days it would work out...
