In English and German speaking cultures, we have taboos on eating horses and dogs that stretch way back to ancient times. They were religious/cultural reasons at the time... but today you still won't find many of us in Western countries eating horses or dogs

I'm not sure about the rest of Germany but I know there's a traditional Bavarian dish made from horse meat. My father will know its name.
I'm not very religious and I don't eat pork either. Although it's not like I go out of my way to avoid it, I think it's because more because I'm used to eating other meat.
Stop eating pork V, we don't mind the other things but that's just very bad.
