    If the meat of a sheep is called lamb, and the meat of a cow is called beef, is there a name for the meat of a horse?

    		Meat of a sheep under 1 year old is called lamb. Meat from an adult sheep is called mutton.

    Horse meat is called just that in English

    		We simply call it horse meat. In some others countries, they do not definitely have a proper name for meat of the horse because for them eating horses is a taboo. China probably has a name for the meat of the horse since they are the largest consumer of horse meat. in Japan, they call the raw, sliced meat of the horse "basashi".

    		I think the eating of horse flesh should be taboo everywhere!

    Would horse meat be considered red meat?

    Overheard at a barbecue: Mr. Harold said, "Gee, Mr. Chef is really keeping the grill very hot. He's probably among those who erroneously believe that searing the meat will lock in the juices," to which Mr. Maillard reacted strongly, "Absolutely right! Searing the meat may be good for something, but certainly not for locking in moisture." Are they correct? If so, what good purpose does meat searing serve?
