Did they serve that well known (in Suriname, at least) delectable
(equivalent of our fast food) deep fried chicken and duck's feet, Criostoir?

Could you explain this reference please.
And where are you writing from?

Yes, I suprise myself by never having eaten horse meat (knowingly). In the
old days it was only eaten by kings at their coronation, which involved said
king sitting in a large vat of horse broth.

Perhaps I'll get round to it one day; but as a Celt horsemeat frightens me
not.

Here's an innocent linguistic question to ponder in this connection:

If horsemeat had been common fair in Britain under Norman occupation, would
it now be called something derived from Old French *_viaunde de caval_ (>
_viande de cheval_), in keeping with the tradition exemplified by "pork,"
"beef" and "veal"?
