So it's finally happened.. I've tried horse meat. So the place we went to was this tiny little restaurant called the horse house in Vilvoorde where they only had one dish available but you did get to choose the size. I opted for a rare 350 gram so a little over 12 once and that was the small one! the largest was around 22 ounces so a monster steak. Hard to describe but horse meat did have its own taste but it was a very slight difference to beef, If you didn't know it was horse you would just assume it was beef in looks and taste. So if you're ever in the area get yourself down to the horse house and try it!
Vilvoorde, Belgium
Technically, this is my second visit to Vilvoorde but this is the first time I've had chance to have a good walk around and take in the local atmosphere, unfortunately for me it's a bank holiday here in Belgium so there really wasn't much happening. Even so, just walking among the beautiful architecture from the church and horse in the main square to gorgeous little town houses being highlighted by this amazing weather i got a real calming feeling even though i was kicking myself I didn't pack any shorts. Vilvoorde is well known for horse meat so looking forward to trying that.. watch this space.
