Do you mean haggis? The stuffed sheep's stomach/sausage?
Here are a few files on subjects related to those you mentioned above:

haggis-msg        (94K) 10/25/01    Scottish haggis recipes. comments on haggis.
horse-recipes-msg (24K) 12/14/01    Period horse recipes. References.

Although not all haggis contains meat, these are both in the FOOD-MEATS
section.


So far, all of the period horse meat recipes I've seen are from western
Asia. It doesn't look like the Europeans ate horseflexh, at least
intentionally.
