Fancy munching on Mr Ed? This week, horse meat will appear on Victorian restaurant menus for the first time, thanks to a law change allowing equine flesh to be sold for human consumption. But at $70 a kilo, it won't be a cheap meal. Perth butcher Vince Garreffa has talked the WA Government into letting him sell horse meat over the counter. It is still against the law to sell it in Victoria, but there's no law against Victorians buying horse meat from Mr Garreffa. As soon as his horse meat went on sale last week, Carlton chef Nicholas Poelaert called through an order. He plans to cook a three-course horse degustation at his award-winning Embrasse restaurant on Tuesday night. The three-course meal will cost $90, including wine and a small dessert.
