I notice you have not indicated a disinclination to eat anything on the list, including horse and roadkill. Interesting. Dare I say, impressive?

There might be a chance that I have eaten horse before. I have to ask my Dad. As for road kill, depending what it was and how it meat looks like, I would go for it.

We have eaten horse. You, me and Eeta. You know that meat with the pistachios in it we ate every school day of our lives? I can't remember the name right now. Anyway, it used to be made of horse until they outlawed it. They still eat it with the horse meat in Italy. This is what Tato told me when I was in Jr. High. I don't think he was lying this time.

I know that they made with horse meat in Argentina. I got to ask to make sure. By the way, I can't believe I've had Eggies Benedict.

Yes, you've had mortadella. They make it with horsemeat in Italy as well. And I know you've had carob chips as a kid. It's that nasty tasting chocolate from a carob tree.
