@@DigDigJAPAN Americans have a love affair with horses and eating a horse is seen as the same as eating a puppy or kitten, I remember when Mcdonalds was falsely accused of adding horse meat to their burgers and people quit eating there. My dad works disposing of dead horses (and other large animals) for a living.

The culture around horses in the west is a lot different, where they are now mostly seen primarily as pets or work animals. In movies and television, eating horses is often portrayed as a "last resort" food - during war time or famine. Also the production of horse meat is illegal in the US, so it's quite rare to find anyone here who's actually eaten horse. Thanks for sharing, Dig Dig! Your videos are always interesting!

[@spicybeantofu]

It's against the law in most states to even eat it. Even if you get it from else where.

[@elyseenger2646]

⁠@@spicybeantofusame here in Canada. A few years ago the UK had their horse meat scandal. It’s a complicated story but it boils down to unscrupulous slaughterhouses labeling horse meat as beef and shipping it out to markets and chains.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

When I receive comments from everyone through the video, I realize that there are many different cultures in the world. I didn't know that eating horse meat is not a common culture in the West, and in fact it is illegal. Thank you for teaching me about the culture and history!

There's a problem here with people saying "the West" - as most of them just mean the USA. Eating horsemeat is quite normal in several Western countries, including France, Switzerland, Belgium and Italy. It's not commonplace as horsemeat tends to be expensive. There's a lot of people here declaring horse meat to be illegal in various countries, when generally it isn't. Consumption of horse meat is illegal in many US states, but the production of it isn't and in several states it's still legal to eat. Horse meat isn't illegal in Canada - you can find it in butchers and supermarkets in Toronto and Quebec. Eating horse meat is relatively unusual, but it's not as rare as some commenters are suggesting.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I was surprised to receive so many different opinions about horse meat! Thank you for letting me know😊

[@sadsack8396]

horse meat is eaten in the east of Eurasia, in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and some regions of Russia, for example, in Tatarstan. Red caviar is very popular in Russia, it is considered a delicacy, we have many types of it, depending on the breed of fish, but we eat it on sandwiches, 1 piece of white bread or baguette, butter and caviar on top,

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I never knew horse meat was eaten in that area! Thank you for letting me know. Is caviar eaten a lot in Russia? I'm so jealous!✨ In Japan, it's considered a luxury food and it's hard to get. (We can sometimes eat caviar if we eat a high-class course meal🥹)

[@sadsack8396]

@@DigDigJAPAN in Russia, it is also considered a luxury and it is not eaten every day, it is usually bought for holidays, sandwiches with caviar in Russia are always eaten on New Year's holidays, in Russia this is the main family holiday. it costs quite expensive - $ 10-20 per 100 grams, depending on the quality, for $ 20 you can buy 5-6 kilograms of pork, but caviar is freely sold in any supermarket, in St. Petersburg, where I live, there are even special small shops where only fish, seafood and caviar are sold, they are called "caviar and fish".

Im in my 80s. At one time you could buy horse meat before the mid 1970s at slaughter-butcher houses here in the US. It was a lot cheaper than beef, and if cooked properly it was ok, as it had a tendency to be tough, and stringy.

They give you a good quantity for what you're paying for so I'd say it's good value especially for a sweet potato I'd love to be able to get something like that especially that particular type even though it's as sweet as a western sweet as you put it it is also one that lowers blood sugar and I would just love to have a chance at that.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I didn’t know that sweet potatoes are so sweet, but they also have the effect of lowering blood sugar!! Good thing to know. Thank you☺️🍠

I wish there was more stuff like this in the US…but I get why it’s not here 😅 also! I dislike salmon roe but LOVE flying fish roe/masago. It’s so yummy and crunchy with a little saltiness. The large roe just don’t work for me, texture wise.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I never thought I'd be able to buy seafood from a vending machine! Flying fish eggs are delicious 😋 I love them too!

Sweet potatoe skin has 10 times the nutrients as the inner flesh and has antioxidants on a similar level to blueberries. 👍

10:58 macaroon and macaron are two different cookies, actually! The cookie shown in the video is definitely macaron. (I know it's too late to change the text on the video, though.)

In Kazakhstan eating horse meat is pretty normal Here in Russia you wont find any. But my friends shared canned horse meat with me. Can't say i liked it a lot but it was an experience for sure

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I see that Kazakhstan has a culture of eating horse meat. Thanks for letting me know! I myself have never eaten canned horse meat, so I am curious 😋.

Salmon roe isn’t that popular here in the US outside of Japanese restaurants, I wish it was, it’s one of my favorites! Same with Tobiko and Masago!

[@DigDigJAPAN]

I see 😳 If it gets more popular, maybe it will be sold in the US more often? ☺️ Tobiko and masago are also delicious 🤤

[@safiremorningstar]

Those salmon Roe as you call it westerners would call it salmon caviar are bigger than what we get here I always thought that they were much smaller than that those are huge. No it's not not popular is just depends on people and what they like here it's sold usually in much smaller size than what you have I mean they're tiny in comparison to what you have and they usually sold with a possibility of cream cheese if you want to mix them together... I have seen small packages for people trying to impress somebody with the idea of salmon caviar add caviar itself is not kosher so having something that looks like caviar and it's slightly salty like caviar well you get the idea it's sort of the kosher variety.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

Thanks for letting me know!! I wonder why Japanese ikura (salmon caviar) is so big🤣 It looks so yummy to eat with cream cheese! I'll try it next time. I didn't know they had kosher too😳

Here in Italy in certain Regions they use a lot of horse meat, both raw and cooked, such as grilled steaks, meatballs, rolls ... to my taste perhaps it is a little too sweetish....Dattebayo🍥🍥🍥

I'm glad that there are so many horse meat dishes in Italy! It's definitely a little sweeter than other meats, so your tastes may vary! ...Dattebayo🥷🍥

[@jaehaspels9607]

You're correct, that we, in the USA don't regularly eat salmon roe. We mostly just see it in Japanese restaurants and sushi bars. Some very expensive restaurants are starting to use it. We also don't eat horse meat. A long time ago, horse meat was used in canned dog food. I don't know why we don't eat it because they certainly exterminate healthy horses just because they have a broken leg or foot. Since they're pastoral animals, their meat should be very clean too. I've always wanted to ask. When you eat the yolk of an egg, what do you do w/ the white? I'm sure you don't waste it.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

Thank you for always watching! I learned that salmon roe is not common in the US, and I realized that food culture is diverse! I thought horse meat was eaten in other countries too, although I think it's also a cultural difference! I freeze any leftover egg whites, and when I have a lot, I make meringues☺️

[@SerDinoOfficial]

Hey, It's also worth noting that the US mainland is so large, we have many different food cultures here regionally as well. For example, most of the US may never see Salmon/Fish Roe outside of expensive Japanese restaurants but where I live in California, it's a very common grocery store item. California, at least the southern area of the state, is a huge mixing pot of cultures. Where as in other states, you would see much less verity.

[@CleanYourRoomOrElse]

@@SerDinoOfficialI was gonna say that! Washington state it’s pretty common.

[@redstarwarrior85]

I think most people where I live tend to like smaller varieties of roe. I like salmon though.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

It seems like some regions like fish eggs 😳 Salmon is definitely the most delicious, so I like it too!!

[@yoshix7192]

I'm fairly certain that horse meat is still eaten in France. Can't say how common it is though. I'm in the US and would probably be willing to try both that and rabbit.

[@DigDigJAPAN]

It's interesting how food culture is completely different depending on the country and region! I've never eaten rabbit meat, and I've never seen it in Japan, but I'm very curious about it 😳

[@RainFeatherYT]

It definitely depends on where you're located within the U.S. Salmon roe is not popular or commonly found in any of the regions of the U.S. that I have lived in. And we don't eat horse meat at all (to my knowledge, anyway). I've also never seen baked sweet potatoes eaten with ice cream - that looks yummy! 😋

[@shelld7535]

@@Meg-m5f I forgot about the horse meat. I am in the equine business and I can tell you that the USA does not allow for horse meat to be sold for consumption but..... we ship more horse meat than you care to know overseas. Whatever you think we ship... times that by 10000.
