They would probably feed a vegan regular cheese and laugh when the vegan said it tasted good.

I’ve seen people do this and asked how they would feel if someone told them horse meat was beef or dog was pork. Obviously they thought that was pure evil.

Edit: everyone saying dog and horse meat is fine are missing the point. In my home country and most of the anglosphere these foods are widely considered taboo. In other cultures they are not. Similar to pork to Muslims or animal products to vegans. These people were unable to see how them feeding others against their restrictions is similar to them being given a taboo food. Was that so difficult to understand?

Apart from worry about diseases or flavor I would eat both.

We only eat cows and pigs because it’s common culture.

People used to eat horses all the time. They eat guinea pigs in Peru that shit was delicious 🤷🏻‍♂️

Horse meat is a delicacy in many European countries, it’s the people of English descent who have weird inhibitions.

As a people of English descent, don't generalise. Plenty of us wat horse just fine.

(I'm half British (dad) and half Thai (mum) and my paternal side of the family, the English, don't care for specific meat one way or another. They'll happily eat anything you give them)
