On the other hand, my husband (who is a native Dane and still spends a fair amount of time in Denmark) says you can still lead your horse down to the neighborhood butcher and wait while he processes the horse, and take home some steaks.  I didn't see any signs about horse meat one way or another last time I was there--but that is the practice in the rural areas. 

 

It really isn't much different from taking your horse to the vet clinic for euthanasia--except that the carcass does not go to waste.

Horse Meat ....50 Million frenchmen can't be wrong.  As you drive through France

it is always intersting to see the number smiling horse signs from the meat

markets.  The wine is good with a two inch steak.

You don't live here, I'm thinking....  You would have to actively search out the few remaining horse-butchers (assuming you wanted to) and what is interesting is that the walls of Paris are currently plastered with posters saying "Horses should look like this" (picture of racehorse/showjumper/kid's pony), not this (picture of unappetizing shrinkwrapped joint of meat).  I live in a rural community only one or two steps removed from peasantry and I don't know a single person who would voluntarily eat horsemeat - but then, they don't all have berets and twirly moustachios either, or cycle around in stripey jumpers with onions hanging around their necks ;-))
