Giddy Up!Horse burger anyone? Bug and Bun and a random fella eating horse meat burgers in Slovenia.
Am not sure how they tasted but will need the low down when I get in touch with them next. Ah the adventures of summer travel.

From Wiki:
Horse is commonly eaten in many countries in Europe and Asia. It is a taboo food in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, the US, and Australia; it is also taboo amongst the Romany people and in Brazil.

Horse meat is not generally eaten in Spain, although the country exports horses both "on the hoof and on the hook" (i.e. live animals and slaughtered meat) for the French and Italian market; however, horse meat is consumed in some Latin American countries such as Mexico.
It is illegal in some countries.

Am not sure how I feel about it, we do eat cows and pigs so why not horses? Am sure it tastes just like chicken ;)

Giddy up!

Horse and Prego
Not sure why, but I like this pic taken in front of the cafe set up at the Interior Design Show this past weekend. Look at that prego-gigante?! She was searching for lemonade the whole time as she saw someone drinking one but we never did find that booth. We ended up with a mango berry icy drink from Faema the Italian espresso machine makers instead which was yummy... but one of the hostesses or whatever you call the people who work at the booth showing the machines was such a cow, I guess she was not happy to be there and it showed - but don't take it out on visitors to your booth simple girl. Bad marketing I say!

The food on offer at the cafe wasn't the greatest but the atmosphere was mellow yellow, it was sponsored by the Yellow Pages so that could be why the jaune theme was so powerful. Well for my b-day if you can get me the horse in the background I would love to have it in my place. I always wanted a pony as a little girl but I never got one, only Bunny got a pony, but that is probably because she lived on a farm in New Zealand. Lucky gal! Don't the French eat horse meat? That could be another post...
