A United Press correspondent in Stockholm describes widespread horsemeat consumption as Europeans cope with rationing. He notes some eat it to survive while others view it as a delicacy, and contrasts it with reindeer used in smoked and raw forms. He searches Stockholm delicatessen shops for meat to send to food‑scarce England.
Bierce Atay recalls sampling pork substitutes in Sweden where a butcher offered smoked reindeer and horsemeat as samples. The writer found reindeer excellent but could not finish the horse, wrapping it for later. The butcher claimed horse meat in cans, shipped from Argentina, priced at 120 dollars per four pounds.
An international survey notes horsemeat trade across Europe starting in Paris where about 200 horses arrive daily at slaughterhouses. First quality cuts fetch 80 to 90 cents a pound, with roughly 20 percent of French people consuming horsemeat and a third eating it on doctor’s orders. Belgians mostly use it to supplement meat rations and mincemeat. Romans report prices around 60 to 90 cents per pound and many say it “stinks.” The piece also mentions unrelated local items about residents moving farms and a worm misidentification in Macon, and a Boston man with a fishing accident.
