Horse meat is absolutely tasty, and if it wasn't so unpopular it'd probably be in the same price range as beef, overall the market is quite small, and absolutely zero horses are raised for meat. Bluntly said at the end of a horse's career an owner is asked "do you want an urn, vacuum packs, or not pay anything I'll sell the meat". If your dietary preference for meat is animals which have been loved and pampered all their life horse is a very good choice.

Trouble with the scandal back then was that it was all untracked horse meat. And there's plenty of horses around which get treated with veterinary drugs that make them unsuitable for human consumption because no owner is prioritising slaughter over their health.

Eh, it goes on the plate like frogs do. Horse meat is great and cheaper than beef here
