I did know about blood soup, that was just what you made after butchering a cow. Why let all that protein go to waste? Mix it up with just squeezed milk and you've got yourself Ambrosia. So my Mom and Omi said.
Mom told me an interesting tale. My Opa (her Dad), fought in the Calvary for the Germans. He was based on the front lines, with horses pulling the cannons. Seemed as though running out of food and ammunition wasn't his idea of a fair fight, so he and a few comrades took the horses and fled. The went straight to the British and said, we're done, you win, do what you will with us. Well it was a good thing they thought to bring the horses or else they and quite a few others would have starved over the weeks it took to get to the prison camps.
Mom says horse meat is just fine, can be a bit gamey, but of course, she didn't get the organic, grain fed, free range variety. I'll take her word for it.
There is about 40,000 lbs of horsemeat at the stable across the way. Good to know in these hurricane times.
