its-a-clock 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Anyone ever eaten it? I did at an enkai the other day, only found out after I had eaten it. Tasted quite sweet though I am not keen on the idea of eating horse. (Irrational probably, I know). Is it a speciality of Nagano? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 i tried it once but it was neigh good Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Haha. I think (!) it's a speciality of these parts (Nozawa/Shiga Kogen kind of area). Don't touch it myself, any kind of sashimi. Don't like raw meat and fish. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 had it quite a lot, its not bad. Got a smokey flavour I think. I think its Watami's that has it on their menu Link to post Share on other sites

Ezorisu 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've heard from friends that it is available up in Hokkaido, but I've never had any... yet. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I tried it in Nagano, and as usual with these things (buffalo, kangeroo etc) it tastes like very very low class beef. In Egypt I'm sure I had that or Camel several times under the psydenom of beef. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm so hungry I could eat a frozen horse Link to post Share on other sites

BlackpoolTower 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I know very little about all this, but is there any meat that Japanese wouldn't eat? Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I don't think dog is eaten here BlackpoolTower. If I am correct, it's South Korea where that is popular (?) Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'd bet Blackpool has plenty of good kebab shops Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 probably lots of dog-meat kebabs too! Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I am sure there is one factory that makes the generic rock and put the name in for their respective clients, be it Blackpool, Skunthorpe, Brighton etc. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Rock is such a bad and very strange idea in the first place isn't it. Is it just a UK thing? Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I wonder if it still popular? The idea of it just seems so very "old" isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites
