I got horse jerkey in Japan.
Yeah, horse is rather popular in some parts.
Eating dogs, mules, and horses was common in 19th century America and prior.
I just read an account of one of John C. Fremont’s expeditions out West. He mentioned eating these animals and eating them in situations where they weren’t starving. There was no stigma attached to it.
I’ve read many accounts of various Indian tribes eating dog,
including boiled puppy soup as the main course.
