France: Someone thought it'd be funny for me to unknowingly try horse meat on a pizza. After discovering it was the opposite of funny, she tried to turn it on me for being a wasteful American by not eating it.
The ones who weren't were in bars, but most day-to-day French were condescending toward any non-French (esp. Japanese at the time). They wanted to keep France to themselves and only tolerated foreigners for our money.
It was shredded on a pizza (seasonings, sauce, cheese) but I could taste a difference. I tasted like spoiled meat so I immediately spat it into a napkin.
In the early 1970s there was a disease that killed off a lot of US corn. That in turn caused a beef shortage, and some places sold horse meat as an alternative.
I remember it being dry and bland, but that was a long time ago and I was a little kid.

One of my childhood friend's parents tricked me into eating deer once. It was delicious.

Uhhh yeah that's called venison and we've been eating it for thousands of years because it's goddamn tasty.
