Horse meat returns to TO restaurant - will serve horse tartare as well as quack ‘n’ track -
French bistro La Palette is returning horse meat to its menu, confident that “it is safe for human consumption,” says co-owner Shamez Amlani.
Beginning Feb. 2, the Queen St. W. restaurant will serve horse tartare as well as quack ‘n’ track: duck confit served with a four-ounce horse tenderloin.
Amlani removed horse dishes from the La Palette menu in August 2011 after a Toronto Star investigation into Canada’s controversial horse slaughter industry showed that nearly 100,000 horses slaughtered in this country each year were imported live from auctions in the U.S.
The horses were being transported from the U.S. to Canada and Mexico for slaughter because the U.S. federal government stopped providing funds in 2006 for inspections at plants that slaughter horses intended for human consumption.
The Star report showed horses transported under gruelling conditions for long stretches without food and water. It also questioned whether the meat was free of drugs such as phenylbutazone, often called bute, which is an anti-inflammatory given to performance horses.

Please do feed lots of horse meat to your children and we in America will make sure the horse meat is full of poisonous medications just for you. I love having the last laugh.
