apparently it is the disgustingness of eating a horse that shows how hungry you are... not how big it is... i should have known that  :-[

i can think of worse things to eat than horses though... so... the question still stands

why a horse?

Food sayings usually never make any sense. I'm not a fan of gamey meats, so I probably wouldn't try it anyways.

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

You never know though, sometimes there is a hidden meaning to it, things are not always what they appear to be.

they eat horse meat in france.

as a veggie, i can't really see the difference between eating cow, pig, etc. and horse.  not carnivores, though, cos their flesh is stringier and strangely flavoured, so i hear, due to what they eat themselves.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I love beef and pork!  I've eaten venison, ostrich, goat, skate, alligator, frogs, rabbit...I forgot the rest.

Yeah, I'm probably pretty stringy and strangely flavoured.  :laugh:

Horse can be too bad I think people don't want to eat it because they like horses

It is a term originally used by sluts bragging about their oral prowess.

Elephant and whale eaters can dislocate their jaws at will, much like a snake swallowing it's prey.
