It is said in ancient literature that horse meat is poisonous, and it is also circulated among the people: "Donkey meat smells good, horse meat stinks, and you won't eat mule meat even if you are killed." Judging from the historical development of China, China used to be a country with agriculture as the mainstay, because horses were very important at that time, such as hauling goods and plowing land, which were people's means of transportation and important strategic resources.

Therefore, as the most important labor force at that time, people were reluctant to eat horses. In modern society, horses are not as important as before. In addition to common pork, mutton and beef, people in China have gradually begun to study the edible value of horse meat.

The main place to eat horse meat in the world is Central Asia. This geographical location just radiates to Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia in China. Most people eat horse meat, so they feel that almost no one eats it, but in fact, horse meat is fresh and tender, with little fat and high nutritional value.
