Eating Seabiscuit in Sicily

September 24 , 2010

My butcher’s selling something new, something grim.  It looks disturbingly like  Seabiscuit.

I feel alone, among strangers.

Nearby Catania, the city under Etna, has long feasted on horse. They grill it over red-hot coals, and turn it into a great big horse-burger.

Do you believe in following local customs when you’re in foreign lands?

I’m repulsed, but curious.

Should I? Would you?
