To all of you who are trying to figure out why horses weren't eaten by the
Saxons, I would like to add one other thought:
Horses are noble animals. In Dutch horses are the only animals other than
humans whose legs are called "benen" rather than "poten"
The funny thing is that as a Saxon idea this doesn't ring true. It seems to
be too "refined" for their mindset.
I remember the "paardenslager" (horse butcher) where my paternal grandmother
would buy "paardenrookvlees" (smoked horsemeat) which was considered a
delicacy because it had such a good flavor. However my
Twentse grandmother would not eat horsemeat.
It is a puzzlement! Jacqueline
