We can’t really hold a conversation about delicious horse meat without discussing which horses from stage and screen we would most like to eat. It’s hard, because there a lot of movies out there with succulent horses. It’s also nice because horses in movies generally die of trauma, which may sound terrible, but if you’re going to eat a horse, you’d much rather eat one that died from a bullet than from a cocktail of euthanizing chemicals. Trust me.

With that in mind, here are seven movie horses that we would be absolutely delighted to slaughter and eat.

Seabiscuit – Seabiscuit

The name alone makes my mouth water. Seabiscuit. Yum. As a rule, I try not to eat things that Tobey Maguire has sat on, but with this horse, I’m happy to make an exception.

I would make a dish called Seabiscuits and Gravy. Yum.

Spirit – Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

I have stared at that title for about five minutes, and I’m still not convinced that last word isn’t “cinnamon.” I’ve never had a horse with cinnamon before, but I’m hazarding a guess that the horse is a bit gamey, as it comes for the West. But a few shakes of cinnamon should play nicely off its earthy, earthy meat.

Note: This is the second of many horses that have delicious names.
