I don’t know which is more upsetting: the fact that the government thinks it’s a good idea to serve horse meat to American tummies or the fact that the government is so pleased with their ‘good’ idea that they’ve actually passed a law to make horse meat available in American kitchens.

Oh yes, Congress is at it again. As of late – eh, November 18th to be exact – the apparently not-so-gentlemen and women of Congress have opted to lift the ban on funding for horse meat, making pony slaughterhouses in America almost commonplace.

I know it’s no different with chickens and cows and the like, but the thought of Black Beauty being corralled and laid on the chopping block is absolutely heartbreaking. And excuse me for asking the obvious, but who the hell is chomping at the bit to throw back a rack of horse?

Luckily, public perception has not been entirely welcoming. Restaurant owners in Chicago salivated at the chance to sample pony but they seemed more than reluctant to serve it on their menus.

Sure, people may run away screaming in horror, but there are just some weird food combinations that you can’t help but want. Stop hiding out in your bedroom dipping the pretzels in frosting; embrace that delicacy! (Seriously – that sh*t is good!) Your friends probably have some weird cravings too.

Gross Foods That Are Actually Delicious

1. Ketchup With Everything. To me, ketchup is its own food group. And while I slather this tomato paste on fries, hamburgers, and hotdogs, I like eating the stuff with mashed potatoes too. My friends think it’s disgusting and can’t stand to watch me eat it, but ketchup and mashed potatoes together are seriously delicious (and it is not that far off from putting that stuff on fries!). I have also seen people put ketchup in chicken noodle soup and or those who slather it on a slice of pizza. Delish. Read More »
