[Sca-cooks] horse drippings

<<< Then there is this anecdote about Hakon the  Good:

"But on the morrow, when men went to table, the [pagan] bonders  thronged 
[Hakon the Good], bidding him eat horse-flesh, and in no wise the king  
would. Then they bade him drink the broth thereof, but this would he none the  
more. Then would they have him eat of the drippings, but he would not; and it  
went nigh to their falling on him."
Snorri Sturluson

So if anyone wants to make horse with the drippings, that's an  option. >>>

Just in case someone was reading that quickly, as I did the first time, that is horse *drippings*, i.e. the juices dripping from the roasted horse, not horse droppings!

Some cultures ate horse flesh, some considered it an insult, since horses were what the Knights and such rode.
