Joe Rogan - Why Americans Don't Eat Horse

it's it's very subjective that we base our nutritional choices on how pretty or how cute an animal is you know it doesn't make sense you know and we're lucky now we're able to choose what we eat right you know like it wasn't like that a hundred years ago you know the purpose of the food guide until like 40 years ago was to make sure you got enough calories now we're in an age of restriction so we say like i don't want horse i'd prefer deer or i'd prefer veal or i had chicken yesterday i can't have twice in a row like all this is a bit of fluff what we do in a way because we're so fortunate to have enough food to decide my friend remy warren was on a backpacking uh horseback elk hunt and one of the horses fell down and broke its leg and they had to make a decision they were deep in the back country and they had to shoot it and uh it was just wasn't going to get out of there and after they shot it he decided that really this is it sound was going to go to waste so they took the back straps off and they they cooked it and ate it and anybody said it was a really weird moment where like this is an animal that was like everybody's petting it and it was you were you know you're riding it and it just it was a working animal but it was an animal that you loved and then all sudden it's down and you have to kill it and he's like well it's going to go to waste he said it just felt wrong to let it go to waste so they they cut the back straps off of it you know the reason i think we don't eat horus culturally is really based ultimately on the battle of wolf between moncalm on the plains of quebec city uh you know that was a decisive battle in north american history whereas if the french had won that battle everybody in north america ultimately would be speaking french you know they didn't win that battle so british rule imposed so in england you didn't eat horus by royal decree but in the french eight horse the belgians eat the germans eat horse you see so that's what it is yeah it's very old history you know it was mining it was just a boat in an anglophone world to eat horse and in all the mining countries uh half my family's from belgium and it's traditional there because they'd bring the horse and the mine the horse you know it's sad for a horse to live in the mine in the dark but they wouldn't bring it out when he was old you know they would just eat the horse most cultures eat turkish horse you know well it was a necessity i mean you couldn't pick and choose back when all this was instituted we're very limited in the proteins that we eat especially in north america quebec less so you know quebec is a very open-minded dining public very advanced dining public very old dining public and of course latin french dining public the amount of proteins that are served in a montreal restaurant are numerous compared to let's say even when i go to manhattan if me and you and fred are in manhattan tomorrow night say let's go have rabbit with mustard sauce it's going to be a tough sell we're going to really struggle to find rabbit mustard sauce we're going to struggle even to find uh you know let's go have a couple slices of liver tonight with onions it's gonna be very difficult lamb neck you know lamb liver deer is a hard tall order you know ultimately manhattan or america it's a limited scope of proteins beef chicken so forth whereas you know french culture quebec you know we have all the proteins i have young dining clientele that have no problem eating kidneys medium rare uh liver lamb liver deer neck deer heart tartare it's not a thing like it's not what other restaurant people are eating it's just part of the registry you know little girls like your daughters are raised eating you know the food that their dad hunts and the food that their parents buy some people have lesser means eat pork liver raised on it so when they see liver on the restaurant cute little you know 19 year old girls that are about to go out to the club later they'll have a slice of liver you won't see that in new york city or
