Ok, so one thing I’m terrible at is describing the taste of food, so I’ll try my best: it has more flavour than beef, but it’s delicate flavour and doesn’t taste gamey. It has a shitload of iron. In my experience the taste changes a lot depending on the cut, more than beef, but to be honest, the vast majority of the time I eat horse meat, it’s in the form of raw, ground meat.
Having never eaten horse myself, as I’ve never had the opportunity, I always expected it would taste similar to lamb, venison, goat, etc. Am I thinking correctly, or way off?
Nope, it’s much closer to beef than game or sheep, it’s rich in iron and has a somewhat sweet flavour, more delicate than beef while actually being more tasty, if that makes any sense.
Or just eating it. Taste is different.
Source: in my area we eat horses. A lot.
Genuine question, what is the taste profile of horse meat?

Thank you!

By how gamey it tastes?
