    It’s pretty much an Anglo Saxon exception that horse meat isn’t eaten… It’s not as popular as it once was in Quebec, but it used to be readily available…

      Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.

        I’m talking about the 2000s… Horse meat can still be found in some groceries, I think it’s still more common in France than in Quebec though

          I know, I was joking in sort of a not-jokey-very-dry sort of way.

          I wish there was a universal (lawl I’m unserious but being very dry about it) tag. Because that stuff doesn’t translate to text well at all.

          Such a layer of emotion and presentation behind communication to get around! So difficult! And I have a degree based around doing exactly that…

          On a side note, we have dry humor which implies a wet humor and… I’m curious what that is but I sort of don’t want to know…?
