Home Guy is a damn Canadian, some places cabbage cost $28.00 a head.

Do try to keep up. Hench has him all figured out, already. Most people here already have his number.

He is in the toilet, publicly, stealing intellectual movies and such from the Internet.

I suspect he is trying to make his goat have babies, but I have no video evidence of him and his goat. He won't tell me how he gets his goat to push back.

The basis for horse meat being a taboo food in most/many countries is a long and complicated story.

Not only does the wiki article say that a Kentucky Derby winner was believed slaughtered for Japanese pet food, but has this par in that regard:

// There is a misconception that horses are commonly slaughtered for pet food, however. In many countries, like the United States, horse meat was outlawed in pet food in the 1970s. American horse meat is considered a delicacy in Europe and Japan, and its cost is in line with veal,[36] so it would be prohibitively expensive in many countries for pet food. //
