Horse isn't that different from beef except for being a *lot* leaner.
I bought ground horse all the time back in the 70s, because it was something like 1/3 the price of hamburger. and practically no fat.
Friends bought various cuts of horse as well and I got to eat some of those as well.
There was this one butcher in town that sold horsemeat. Very popular with the folks on food stamps.
Then the FDA decided that horsemeat wasn't fit for human consumption (read: beef producers were getting bent out of shape about it)
People keep trying to get the ruling changed but...
I've had brains, though at the time I didn't know it. When they slaughtered a cow on the farm, they'd mix brains in with the eggs before scrambling them. I might have been squeamish if I'd known beforehand, but finding out after the fact was mostly a matter of "oh, ok".
Don't recall ever having kidneys. Think I've had haggis and it was ok, I've had liver, don't much care for it. Mostly because it's way to easy to cook it wrong and have it taste awful.
Not interested in gizzards and while I've had tongue, I wasn't impressed.
Testicles might be interesting. though there's a definite "I ate *what*?!" factor in there.
