Horse meat
"Cecina" is a cured meat made from beef or horse, and is considered a delicacy. Foal meat ("carne de potro") is preferred over horse meat for this purpose. Horse meat is easily found in supermarkets, and usually prepared as a stew or as steak. A common practice is to serve horse meat to anemic children. Although no generalized taboo exists in Spain, consumption of horse meat is minor, compared to that of pork, beef, or lamb.
