I always knew lasagna was horse. How else could they glue the layers together?
They deliver it at superluminal speeds and the speed keeps everything together.

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
le francé?
Oui
I ate horse meat before. It was chewy, and I have special ethical issues with it, like for me it's like eating a Dog. It does not matter even if it where tasty.
Your dog would not mind eating your horse. Your dog also wouldn't mind eating you.
There's two principal reasons why people make a difference between cats/dogs on the one side and horses on the other: The degree to which they're family, but very crucially also to the degree to which horses, or cows, very much aren't carnivores, it's about position on the foodchain, how much heavy metals etc. accumulate, that's not just a modern thing it's always been the case. That's why eating dogs is an exception among human cultures, while with cows not eating them is the exception.
I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don't have to have weird moral arguments with myself.
Nah, you're just occupying another spot on it. And unless you're an algae or something, literally living from light and elements floating about in the air and sea, you're not at the bottom.
The ecology expands beyond your pet ethical considerations.
Side question: Would you begrudge your dog eating your corpse? If you love them so much, why don't you feed them, when that is all you have left to give?

I checked the best before dates of all the beef lasagne meals I have... and they're off
How did I get to thirty before realizing the expression comes from people eating horses when they're starving and have no other option
Buddy, I'm 41, and I always thought until just now it was saying you were "so hungry you could eat a(n entire) horse."
That's how I've always interpreted it too.
OHHH
I thought it's just because horses are so big, because you're so hungry that nothing smaller could satisfy your hunger.
So, if you're even hungrier than that, the expression could be "I'm so hungry I could eat Jimmy".
It's pretty much an Anglo Saxon exception that horse meat isn't eaten... It's not as popular as it once was in Quebec, but it used to be readily available...

Which expression? I'm fluent in English but don't know all expressions
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
Makes sense. Thanks!
This hungry:
I joke that it's the Very Wasteful Caterpillar. Damn thing eats a single hole through the middle of a fruit, abandons it, and moves onto the next food item. Not cool, caterpillar. Not cool.
Not that hungry...
Yet...

Elongated nostrils, white showing in the eyes and ears close to the neck. That is a very angry horse.
Widened eyes and flaring nostrils can also be fear, no?
Safe to assume that it's not a happy Dobbin
It's a horse. There's always at least 90% fear
In any case, that horse is ready to go
True, the raised head could indicate that. Hard to tell from a picture alone.
Calm down, I said eat out 😏
Relevant username.
This post is about a horse, sir.
Not a cow... like your mom!
You just roasted the shit out his mom.
What a shame, I prefer a medium rare
Just win that race ok
Brotha neighhh
Where I live it’s common enough that there is a stall in the farmers market that sells horse meat and sausage.
I actually ate horsemeat once at a (supposedly) Mongolian restaurant. Nothing memorable compared to other types of meat
