Virtually no horseflesh is eaten at Aschaffenburg. Several enterprising 
butchers have tried to introduce it, but without success, for local taste and 
prejudice are against it Horse sausage has also been offered, but similarly 
declined, and the amount sold is negligible and comes from Frankfort. At the 
time of the investigator’s visit a solitary sausage formed the entire stock of the 
little tradesman, resident in a street appropriately called “ Horse-market,” who 
has for some time vainly tried to push this commodity, and he spoke 
despondently of the prospects of this subsidiary branch of his trade (for he was 
not a butcher), and admitted that horseflesh was unpopular.
