Summary:
- This article discusses the discovery of butchered horse bones at several archaeological sites in Europe, which challenges the common belief that Christians in the Middle Ages did not consume horse meat.
- The presence of these horse bones suggests that the consumption of horse meat was more prevalent among Christian populations than previously thought, dispelling the myth that Christians strictly adhered to dietary restrictions against eating certain animals.
- The findings provide valuable insights into the dietary practices and cultural traditions of medieval Christian communities, highlighting the diversity of food consumption patterns that existed during that time period.
