I doubt it. Just as there is little evidence for eating horsemeat in
Europe in period, I don't know of any examples of using horse milk in
Europe in period. Anyone know of any?
I would think this might apply to a spotted cheese. You see this today
when they mix cheddar and a white cheese together. Spotted is what
"pinto" means, right? As in the horse or pinto beans.
