    You’ve heard it said before: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. Of course, it’s just an exaggeration. But you KNOW we couldn’t just leave it at that. Where does the phrase come from? And could you ACTUALLY eat a whole horse? Let’s find out!

    Food theory idea: does chocolate actually cure period cramps? And in the video you wouldn’t have to just talk about chocolate you could talk about all kinds of foods and how they affect women when they’re on their periods and which foods actually help and which ones make the cramps worse also to make it even better, you could have Stephanie guest star in the episode.

      AFAB here. I think it's more of a craving satisfaction thing, more than a "cure" for period cramps. Because when I get my period, it's usually a nice shower that relieves my pain, not a bar of chocolate.
      I eat a decent amount of chocolates during my periods, too, but I don't notice any difference.

    Actually I’ve always wondered why eating horse meat was such a taboo in the Anglo Saxon world. I’m Italian and in the part of Italy in which I was born, the common way to eat it is raw or as a stew. So it’s quite enlightening how, at least in the USA, horse meat was made unsuitable for consumption because they practically poisoned it.

    As a belgian I did grow up with horse meat being fairly normal. Though it is rather pricey and was therefor not something we ate a lot. It's more of a delicacy that my grandma would get whenever we were coming to visit for lunch to put in with the charcuterie board XD sliced VERY thinly cause the flavour is quite strong.

It's kinda weird for most people here to eat horse meat but you can still easily find it in petstores for barfing or as a treat for carnivore pets. I'm pretty sure you can also have it as a specialty order from a butcher. But I can only say that about a local one near my town.

    Hi, a german here. I've never seen horsemeat for human consumption, but it's pretty common in pet food. In germany some people breed and raise horses just for them to beeing slaughterd. This way they don't get fed those drugs. Also sometimes old or unwanted hobby-horses get sold to butchers. But only, if they didn't get any of the harmful drugs.

    I think that "Behind the saddle" reads almost the same as "behind the wheel" nowadays. Aka "Horse behind the saddle" means "horse with a saddle" = "horse which you are currently riding". Obviously butchering your own riding horse for the food is quite extreme option that riddled with negative consequences in very near future, and only shows how much hungry and how desperate you are for any kind of food in order to actually go with it - pretty much on the level of "if i won't do it right now, i'll die"
