Yeah, duolingo is a little weird. It commonly teaches stuff that contextually fits together, which is why it also teaches “the man eats the plate” and similar. Horses are a bit out there, although definitely possible 🙈
Horse meat is not common. I don’t eat horse meat and I don’t know anyone who does
You can buy horsemeat here yes. But it’s not common.
In Denmark we call it “Hakket oksekød”
We don’t breed horses with the single purpose of eating them, like we do with pigs, but it’s possible to get it at your local butcher.
It’s lean and sweet tasting (not sweet like candy, but sweet like blood), and I’ll say that it something you’re either fine with or not at all.
Ikea kødboller.
There was an incident a few years ago. I don’t think it was isolated to Denmark though.
Some people sold horse meat as cow meat. It gave some funny memes:
There was one time about 10 years ago now where it was found out through investigations that some og the pizza places that used meat on their pizzas were using horsemeat instead of cow, this sparked 2 reactions in people, some were disgusted by it.
But there was also a sudden increase in danes asking butchers for horsemeat after finding out that it is edible. But I think that trend died out quickly after that. It is for sure not a common choice to eat horse here in Denmark…
Seriously, it’s not normal to eat horse in Denmark. However, it is not completely unusual either. Most, if not all, butchers will either carry horse meat or be able to get it for you with a few days notice. It is, unfortunately, quite expensive.
And I must say, horse tenderloin is some of the best meat I’ve ever had.
Eating horses? It’s not so common that you can find it everywhere but it’s not abnormal either. I have eaten it a couple of times, not my favorite but not bad either
Only at IKEA
Meat from horses are sweet and used to be quite inexpensive, back in the 80s we ate it a lot because of the economic situation.
These days it’s a bit uncommon, most butchers can order it for you, but I doubt the price is better than regular cows and pigs.
It is actually a lot more common than people in here are giving it credit for, probably because they don’t live in areas or places where this takes place. Personally I think they are missing out.
Horse meat is really good!
Horse isn’t all bad
When the horse girls take over we eat their horses
Horse meat was quite common when my parents were kids, I’ve only had it once myself and it’s amazing.
In France it’s still pretty normal to eat horse , especially outside Paris
Not really since the 8th of 9th century. The Danes like the rest of the Germanic tribes used to sacrifice horses and eat the meat ceremoniously, so for this (and maybe also other reasons) the pope banned the use of horse flesh. The taboo lived on after we became Lutherans, because it had become so strongly associated with uncleanliness and ungodliness.
When we became more secular and that didn’t really matter anymore, most people just didn’t seem to have perceived horses as a potential source of meat. I believe I’ve once read that there was an attempt after the first or second WW to reintroduce the meat, but some butchers were accused of selling the horse flesh as beef. If correct, that could also have added to the perception of horse flesh as an inferior option.
Today I think people are becoming more open minded to eating horse flesh, but many will probably still find it gross.
Im a dane, and the norwegian duo lingo just taught me to say “ulven kastet meg op igjen”🤷🏻♀️
My attempt at learning Spanish started pretty quickly with “Soy un caballo” or “I am a horse”. I guess Duolingo really like horses!
Sadly, not many danes eat horses, which leads to loads of horses being transported for hours to other countries, where they are slaughtered and eaten.
Furthermore, new legislation practically excludes basically all horses from consumption.
It is normal
Yes, the dog food is made from horse meat at maxi zoo.
We normally don’t eat horse meat in Denmark. It’s rare that anyone does.
Eating horse is for sure more of a Belgian thing, don’t think I ever met anyone in Denmark who had tried horse LOL
