Cannon eats horse intestines on codel

[133724]

It’s one thing to try a foreign food in a foreign land — when in Rome, as they say. But how about eating horsemeat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

“Oh boy, every meal,” said Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah), who recently returned from a congressional delegation trip to Kazakhstan led by Democratic Samoan Del. Eni Faleomavaega. “Every meal was like an eight-course meal. I think we had horsemeat at every meal. Breakfast is a buffet at the hotel. I wasn’t looking for at that point.”

One form of horsemeat that Cannon often encountered were intestines, the Kazakh answer to pork sausage: “Very thick, very chewy and not very attractive,” Cannon said in describing the delicacy. “I try to be gracious wherever I go. That was hard.”
What does horsemeat taste like?

“Not much different from beef, really,” Cannon said. “Mostly it was baked or cooked.”

3. Horse meat is sweeter than beef

Is used for steak tartar in France and by the Tartars. When the horse gets too old to ride, it is you might say recycled.
