I know for a fact that for a very brief time (in the 70's I'll say--
maybe early 80's) HORSE BURGER was sold from a pair of pushcarts in New
York's Central Park.  They were there for just a few days.
All my frinds say I'm a liar.  Must prove them wrong

Hi jon90,

Thank you for your question.  

Yes, you are correct horse burgers were sold from a pushcart in 1982
for a brief period of time.

Horsemeat was (and maybe still is) considered a delicacy in some
countries in Western Europe.

I've seen it on menus but I've never indulged.

Never heard of horse burgers until TLS dug the (horse) dirt.

I've actually eaten horse meat in both Italy and Japan. The Italian
version was in the form of a steak, and tasted pretty good and was
very lean. The Japanese version was raw called guisashi. It was
considered a delicacy, and was probably one of the best things I have
ever eaten. Very tender, thin slices (about the size of a band-aid)
and it almost melts in your mouth. Would love to find it here in the
USA, but haven't been able to yet.

There is nothing wrong with horsemeat.  There was much more of it
available in Europe when there were more horses, and also before
people started to consider them pets.  I recognized it immediately in
Usbekistan, though I am not sure how.
The local guide confirmed my opinion.  Very lean, as Cvenom states.

The Harvard University faculty club started serving horsemeat during
the war, when it was not rationed, and continued to serve it for quite
a while after rationing stopped   - at least. that was the story back
in the 1960s.
