Princess Anne Suggests Eating Horsemeat

She may be known for her love of horses, but Britain's Princess Anne has now suggested that her compatriots should consider eating the animals like the French. Queen Elizabeth II's daughter, a former eventing champion, said farming the creatures for their flesh in Britain could improve their welfare. [...]

It looks like Princess Anne has given a brand new meaning to the expression "My kingdom for a horse"...

I'm not too surprised by the reaction of her compatriots though. Horses and rabbits are a no-no when it comes to food in the UK. I remember the first times I carelessly mentioned that I used to eat rabbits in France... I definitely horrified many people by doing so. They kind of looked at me like if I was Hannibal Lecter in person after that. I've learned my lesson since then and now tend to keep very quiet about my former eating habits. Better safe than sorry and all that...
