A new Florida law makes it an offense punishable by one year in prison to traffic in horse meat. That, and several arrests and the destruction of a whole freakin’ horse-killing neighborhood have made it extremely difficult to buy horse meat in Miami-Dade County– as undercover cops will complain.
But there was a time– oh, last year– when dudes were still driving around with the illicit flesh in coolers in the back of their pick-ups, offering it for sale; and you could take a bite out of what you thought was beef and find out you just ate a cowboy’s BFF.
The creator of the following video claims that that’s a full bowl of unwittingly-eaten horse meat served in Miami– accompanied by yucca, rice and beans, and a Coke, of course. It certainly looks a bit… mysterious, but we’re withholding judgment.
