I think Italy is/was the bigger importer of Polish horses for meat, so they don't get butchered or eaten here too much, but they end up on tables anyway

Oddly New Zealand is a big exporter of horse meat...

If meat were scarce, and I were starving...I'd start looking at the old horses going to the glue factories in another light.

Who are we to say what the world has a right to eat? Except when it comes to cats and dogs...I draw the line there.

Well, milk from cows and goats is fine - include sheep in that list definately for cheese-making.
Horse, Camel (see Mauritian Cheese)...
You'd really have to try it first (or ask someone who has - get a second opinion maybe).

sheep milk is used to make cheese called oscypek. its made in southern Poland.
