Do they eat horse meat in Argentina?
Do they eat horse meat in Argentina?
I'm a college student traveling to Buenos Aires for a semester for a Study Abroad and was wondering if they eat horses at all, this would be something i'd like to be prepared for as i'm a horse lover and don't know if i could eat one. No, actually you can't buy it in the US it's illegal because horses here are so pumped full of supplements and drugs. If you find it somewhere for sale, they're breaking the law. Thanks everyone, I didn't think so, but i wanted to be sure. Thanks Buenos Aires Guide; actually, i do in fact play polo and own 13 Argentinian Criollos, all of which are very fine horses!!! And my favorite part about them is how much more well behaved they are than North American bred horses.

Argentinian do not eat horse meat, but there is a sausage called mortadella, that sometimes is made of horse meat. Just in case, do not eat Mortadella.

Some Argentines are generally kinder to animals than their fellow man! Argentina has a proud tradition of fine first class bloodstock and an enviable equestrian history that rivals Europe. If you love horses, you must get yourself out into the country and if you ride, you will be astonished by the quality and intelligence of their most ‘humble’ hunters (Criollo) bred by the Gauchos by selective breeding of the feral horses of the Pampas; these work horses are amazing proud animals, which engender a great sense of pride and much folklore. Again, magnificent Polo ponies are bred from selective breeding of thoroughbreds and the Criollo .
