There was an episode of All McBeal about eating horse. The following is
copied from the alt.tv.ally-mcbeal NG:



25. "They Eat Horses, Don't They" #2M02 [AM202] (aired September 21, 1998)
(rerun December 28, 1998, May 31, 1999 & January 29, 2001)
Written by: David E. Kelley
Directed by: Mel Damski

John and Ally defend the owner (Pankin) of a restaurant which serves
horse meat as a delicacy. John is troubled by the case because he must go
against his own convictions in order to defend the client. Nelle
represents a client (Liu - who is joining the series) who is suing a
radio shock jock - a la Howard Stern (Newton), for causing sexual
harrassment by the men in her factory.
