Basashi

Basashi is like a food that comes from Japan, and it's made from a horse! Imagine a big animal that you might see in a field, like a pony or a big horse. People take the meat from that animal and cut it into small pieces, kind of like when you cut up chicken for dinner.

Then, they put those pieces of horse meat in the fridge for a few days to get really cold. When they take it out, it's kind of like a really cold slice of deli meat. People might eat it raw, which means they don't cook it at all.

So, overall, basashi is a type of food made from horse meat that's been sliced up and served really cold, often raw. It's a bit different than what we might normally eat in the United States, but in Japan and some other places, it's a popular and tasty treat!
