It says co-op, so you know it's ethical.

119g? What kind of tiny steak is that? Also, pretty expensive at 38.5 Franc per kg, but I guess that's what you expect in Switzerland.

That's about $17 a pound, right (my calculator says 38.5 Franc is 38.44 dollars)?
Here's prime and choice strip steak from Wild Fork. And some filets thrown in.

Yes, but that's beef steak and not from a fucking horse!
Pferdefleisch is not sold in the US. Is it considered inferior to beef?

It isn't? I can't say I have eaten a lot of horse meat in my life, but I think the point is that horse meat is usually from pretty old horses, as opposed to animals that were specifically raised for meat production. That's, for instance, how Sauerbraten was invented - it's a way to make very chewy (horse) meat tender again (well, it's at least one of the more popular creation myths for Sauerbraten).

@Klaus I was wrong about it not being sold in the US. Most states ban it, but not all.
Horse meat is generally not eaten in the United States, and is banned in many states across the country. It holds a taboo in American culture very similar to the one found in the United Kingdom.[124] All horse meat produced in the United States since the 1960s (until the last quarter of 2007) was intended solely for export abroad, primarily to the European Union. However, a thriving horse exportation business is going on in several states, including Texas, primarily exporting horses to slaughterhouses in either Canada or Mexico.
