Περίληψη: The article looks back at the gathering in London, England in February 1868 for a six-course banquet in which every dish was comprised of horsemeat, with the purpose to settle the question of whether horsemeat was a fitting food for human consumption in Great Britain. It raises the arguments for horse-eating or hippophagy that centered on taste, cost and food prices, human-animal relations in cities such as the case of workhorses used for transportation, and horse-eating as an ethical choice.
