And meanwhile in Italy - and Luxemburg ...........


Going back many years, before I had discovered Greece.  I was staying at a youth hostel in Luxemburg.  Over a meal of some sort of stew, I was chatting to some Belgian fellow hostellers (I was living in Belgium at the time).  I was explaining the English expression "as hungry as a horse".  Horsemeat was something that I would never (knowingly) eat.  My fellow diners looked bemused.  "But we are eating horse."

My appetite vanished like a lead weight.
