This is interesting. I had no idea that horse-meat was ever considered for
human consumption in the US.  In Belgium and parts of France it's still
available in specialist butchers.

May I draw the attention of Timewitnesses List subscribers to a plea I first
made over a year ago?  If you click on http://timewitnesses.org/rosie.html
you will see what I mean -- and if anyone knows of a suitable 'Rosie' please
write to me offlist.
