Title: Filet of Filly
Categories: Main dish, Meats, Horse
Yield: 4 Servings
4 1/4 lb filets of horse
4 Slices bacon
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare exactly as for a filet mignon. Wrap outside of filet with
uncooked bacon slice and secure with toothpicks. Broil to taste.
Horse shares no parasites with man, in contrast to pork and beef. The
meat is fine grained, tender and lacks fat. The flavor is superb. If
one is not told, it would be indistinguishable from beef.
Note: As a student at the University of Arizona, I bought whole horse
filets for a very reasonable price. It was US Grade A inspected at
that. In this country there seems to be an aversion to horseflesh.
Not so elsewhere. In my resident state, it is illegal to sell
horsemeat for human consumption. Silly rules.
