Horse Spam
September 15th, 2008
So, you’re looking for something new to try in the grocery store. Wow! A little tiny can of corned beef catches your eye. This is a rarity in rural Japan. You think of maybe attempting a breakfast hash or something with cabbage. But then you look at the tin just next to it…the tin ominously marked “New Corn(ed) Meat.” The small parenthetical explanation underneath the product name suddenly leaps out. It reads “Contains horse meat and beef.” Mmmmm…HORSE SPAM. Yikes!
