I tend to classify the European eating of horsemeat into the category
of available protein sources in the centuries before "restaurants".

Why assume desperation? I've eaten donkey, which I assume is much the
same; much like beef but more tender. What's the problem, for someone
who doesn't have the English religious taboo against it?
