Tastes like chicken?

Yesterday we drove past a sign for the local Pferdemetzgerei. Let's see, Pferde=horses and Metzgerei=butcher shop. Hmmm... Yes, it's true. I've actually had to be mindful when I've been grocery shopping because right between the salami and the Bündnerfleisch (yummy air-dried beef; think prosciutto but different animal) there are various horse-related luncheon meat products available that don't look much different from the rest. They also serve the occasional Seabiscuit-related delicacy in our cafeteria, although I haven't brought myself to try it...
