No.1612
As Yule grows closer, I wanted to honor Odin with a feast of horse meat as our ancestors did but the christian taboo against eating horse is making it very difficult to find, especially in burgerland. Have any of you found any good butcheries that sell horse in the US?
No.1613
horse slaughter was only recently made legal again in the US, within the past decade. i looked for a few years after that, trying to find horse meat, but i never succeeded.

what part of the us are you in? I'd imagine telling you about a place i Texas when you live in Oregon wouldn't be helpful
No.1615
>>1614Good point. I'm in northern Florida, but really any butchery in the US would be better than getting the meat shipped overseas from the UK or elsewhere abroad.

>>1629The document makes the claim that horse meat was used and consumed in rituals.
>The horse was probably the most valuable animal that the Anglo-Saxons sacrificed but it is unclear how commonly the horse was used for food.The real question is: Was horse meat regularly eaten outside of the rituals?
No.1633
Just sacrifice something that is possible to obtain like chicken or cow, the Gods will still appreciate your gift. We can't have everything our way yet, but SOON.

>>1631The traditional meat used for (the german food) sauerbraten was horse before the conversion. Obviously, since it's so hard to find, I'm not going to be regularly eating horse, but I thought it'd be a good gesture to my ancestors and the Gods to consume horse for Yule.
>>1633It's looking like that's what I'm going to have to do.

>>1625iirc Deutsche Mythologie by Jacob Grimm goes into it quite a bit. I remember picking it up a while ago. It was mainly practiced amongst the Saxons.
No.2851
There's no Christian taboo against eating horse. There may be more of a common sense taboo against eating horses in agrarian societies in which your horse is the single most valuable thing you own.
