Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Transportation for mountain men--mules taste
When I was doing my research for my book on mountain man, Robert Campbell, I found several comments about eating "young colt with wild onions." I did not find anything about eating mules! However, if one is hungry enough, even iguana would be okay. Actually, mules are more muscular and the marbling one finds with fat in the meat would probably be less in horses than in mules. At least that is what a horse-shoer friend of mine says.
I have not eaten either-- nor, do I have any plans to do so. My wife ate horse in France years ago-- she says that it "did not taste like chicken."
Take care,
Steve
