And horsemeat is different...a bit stringy, with an off taste that I can't describe as traditionally "gamy" but definitely there. I had horse at a Paris bistrôt in the early 70's under the name
steak au poivre, and I knew when eating it that it sure wasn't cow...otherwise it would have been (and would have tasted like)
biftek.
I'll pass on the natto, thanks
