    Horse meat is a taboo food in most English-speaking countries, including the US and UK. But in many European and Asian countries it is eaten. I'm from Belgium and smoked horse meat, thinly sliced, is pretty common here as a sandwich topping. The same goes for the Netherlands, and since Helepolis is from there it makes sense that he's on the lookout for it.

    South America, too.
    "Charqui" is basically horse jerky.

    Does horse meat taste like chicken or something? Honestly I've never understood the taboo for horse meat though I'm American myself.

    Probably because horses are treated on the same level as dogs and cats: companions.

    It's quite a bit sweeter, not bland like chicken, and pretty tough. That said, it's actually surprisingly good as a stew or sausage, if you know in advance where it comes from.

    On my own trip to Japan, I ran into a nabe sort of restaurant (I THINK it's nabe, they use those small iron wok-like things) around Fujikawaguchiko that served horse stew. In fact, the only meat they served was horse, and since me and my family weren't used to it, we had a vegetarian meal there instead. Was interesting.
