Could I Eat a Horse?
Laurie McAndish King December 14th, 2008
Please join us for the launch of a new Travelers’ Tales anthology, Venturing in Italy: Puglia, Land Between Two Seas. Laurie McAndish King will read from her story “Could I Eat a Horse?” about her search for the Puglian delicacy.
“Rolls of veal or horse and tomatoes,” the translation read.
There it was.
In that moment, when I expected to feel delight, a seed of doubt arose. I was not certain whether I could actually eat an equine. I had never owned a horse; my personal experience of them was not unlike my experience of cows, visible chiefly in rural fields, and from a distance. I eat steak occasionally, but I began to worry that horses might somehow be different. Could I actually consume a Seabiscuit steak? A Black Beauty roast? Filet o’ Flicka?”
