Horses

funny story hijack

And remember: horseflesh may be sweet, sweet, but for gawds sake, don't tell your girlfriend that you've eaten it.

Ok, so my wife and I are in Switzerland. We go off the beaten path in Montreaux and find this cool restaurant. As we are going over the specials we discover they are serving horse steaks. My wife, an animal lover but no vegetarian, is trying to decide to be adventurous and order the horse. She waffles back and forth and as the waitress arrives to take her order and she is about to say, I'll try the horse special...

In my best Mr Ed voice I say "Wilbur, No!"

This breaks her up and the image in her head does not allow her to order the horse. I nearly wet myself laughing. This little scene gets gets retold everytime we go out to a restaurant with friends and there is anything unusual on the menu. "You know," she says, "I almost ordered horse in Switzerland..."

still the moment was funny enough to be worth a lifetime of abuse.

Just a little tidbit I remember from one of the (I believe) Discovery channels. Iceland has there own breed of horse.

They export it... yet, once it has left, it and any progeny are never allowed to return so as to keep the bloodlines untainted.

Or something like that. :) It has been about 2 years or so since I saw the show... they were the niftiest things though.
