Things that I have not eaten that many people have.

As far as I know I have never had:

Rabbit!! I even went to a place called the Iron Rabbit, but nope, they didn't serve rabbit.
Quail I heard this is fairly common but I have never tried it.
Goose (I don't eat liver at all).
Hopefully dog/cat (although I did eat at many questionable chinese places in my youth).
Human (unless you include skin flakes etc over the years that have been in my food!! Ewww!!).
Crocodile (I had the chance a few times but never had gator/croc tacos!! I missed out!!
Most types of fish besides cod/orange roughy/ Salmon (which I hate) and I tried tahini or whatever it's called (didn't like it).
All squid like stuff (ick)
I've had clams in clam chowder though (but never in any other form).
Grasshoppers, chocolate covered ants etc (no insects).
I am not sure if I have ever actually tried duck. It's really common though, so probably did.
Monkey (Brains or other parts).
Oh I had trout as well.
Thats about it I think.

Like it's not even a pet

Well this started wrong.
Lots of people have horses as pets.
No where near as many as like dogs. But still dogs.

---

I'm not opposed to it, but wouldn't horse meat be super expensive?

---

I wouldnt want to eat a dog and a horse is like a dog thats been promoted a few times

---

Hell no, I don't even like the fact that we eat cows and pigs.

I don't even like the fact that humans accept being omnivorous.

Most of the horses people own are not pets.

I'm pretty sure they're completely different classes. It goes dog > wolf > bear

Idk, I really take issue with the fact that we typically kill our animals in just about the cruelest way possible and think that privilege ought to be revoked sometimes.

Moreso for fried calamari. Don't think I have ever had truly great fried calamari. I prefer it on it's own.

Again there's no logical reason why we shouldn't eat horse meat, it just shines light on the fact that we shouldn't eat cow meat because they're of the same intelligence, which is waaaay too much like a human to keep in a concentration camp

If I was king dictator you would hate me because I would take your burgers. And "farmers" (slaughterhouse owners) would get life in prison if they ran their businesses another day. If we have too many problems feeding our people, maybe we have too many people, you know?

And you ever think that maybe horses don't want your fat pussy flaps on them anyway?

i've eaten at an ikea cafeteria, i am aware they were horse meatballs, but I'm ok with it, ok?

That's why we only pretend to like dogs.

My dad said when he was younger they sold horse meat around here in the supermarket.

He said it was stringy.
