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.
