• Welcome to the Golden Gobbo painting competition. If you'd like to read some of the ancient history you can on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog.

    This competition is held some years and you'll find threads here describing how to enter and when the competition is running (typically after BOYL each year).

    Other than the fame and wonderment of your peers there is often a prize kindly donated and you'll have the wonder of being awarded badges for your profile here.

Oh man, lovely entries! Sadly life (and multiple trips to IKEA) got in the way of painting for the lat couple of months so I wasn't able to get my entry in, but surely I'm gonna enjoy voting!

Did they actually use horse in Europe? I know there are places that do, but it's been illegal in the US since . . . lord, I don't know. So I've not had the pleasure, at least not consciously. On the other hand, lung is also delicious here, and it turns out the stuff is delicious. Our food laws seriously need updating. We're missing out.
 
one problem was it lead to alot of UK places having to put 'It's trusted meat from Ireland!' even though alot of the horse meat scandal in the UK was... from Ireland... they did alot of black market meat claiming to be beef and pork but was horse...

Use it? There are specialized butcher shops everywhere that only sell that kind of meat and derivates. I literally live in a town where the main ingredient of the most celebrated sandwich (bocadillo) is horse meat. Also, old people (like my deceased grandmother) used to buy that for ill / anemic/ skinny kids back then because their "properties".
