H0R2E MEAT
IN ENGLAND
Paris,—England is beginning to
talk Pbout eating horse flesh as
unpleasant but p**ssilble eventual
ity of the future. In, Franco there
•h^s .never been tlto Kiniq pre
judice against liorSe meat, and the
horso has baeu, a reoognjifcedi and
much-used article of diet among
the loss wealthy. Horse steak, fine
Jy minced, Is widely prescribed by
French, physicians, to bo eatenj raw
°6 a 'ouic by weak persons and
sickly children.
In Paris and its suburbs there
are about loot) butcher shops where
only horee moat is sold, and their
average traje is four oij five hors
es a week. They sell nothing but
horse meat, because the law for
bids the sale except Ju special
shops. But they do not hide shame
facedly up back streets. There
are several within a stone's throw
of the Madeleine and a half dozen,
within easy shopping distance of
the American embassy.
The Paris horse butcher is so
little ashamed of his calling that
he paints his shop a brilliant red
<Mid nuts > gilded horse's bead out
side us a sign. All his meat comes
from a special horse slaugither
house st Vaurigard, where the
butchering is conducted under rig
id municipal 6upervison.
It is a insitake, according to, Par
is experts, to suppose that the
younger the horse the better the
meat. The reverse is said to he
true—at least horses eight years j
old and upward are preferod, und
below that «Se tho meat is Baid
to bo tough and un flavored.
The nrice of the best en's of
horse meat in Paris is at present
from IS cents to 50 cents? a pound,
having doubled since the war. —
