Horse Sausage

Horse sausage is a meat product made from horse meat, sometimes blended with other types of meat. The consumption of horse meat has a long tradition in many countries, including France, Italy, Japan and Kazakhstan. Horse meat is lean and dark red, with a naturally sweeter flavour than pork or beef. Sausages made from it are typically seasoned with spices, garlic and salt, and can be smoked or fresh. Horse sausage is not common in many Western countries, but can be found in specialist butchers. It is suitable for grilling, pan-frying or serving as a cold starter.
