If you really are Italian, then you do "capice!"

Ron, what you are saying is pure speculation on your part. I don't know of any civilisation which considered horses purely as food, but I can't say positively that were none. What I can say is that the Mongols DID NOT consider their horses as a primary source of food. When times were really tough they would kill a horse to eat, but as a last resort. Before getting to that stage, they would draw blood from a horses vein, mix it with mares milk and drink it. NOTE I'm only referring to the Mongols. But if you have sources that show people who ate horse meat as a primary food, please post those sources.
