Isn't horse meat sold as "cheval" from Cheval Butchers? No idea how that would be pronounced but if it's anything like beef and mutton (from boeuf and mouton) (both in the restricted sense of being served up to eat rather than generally running around) European obfuscation will have kicked in with a non-standard pronunciation.

Horse meat sold as "chaval" however is not fraudulent. No wonder they invented catholicism!

Meat sold in Britain as chav or chava, on the other hand, may well be human flesh, as those are slang words for ne'er-do-wells.

It is probably safest to assume that almost all meat served in France is horsemeat, just as most meat served in Austria is crocodile.
