No never eaten a crocodile knowingly. Mind u u never know what you are eating with some of this grub imported from eastern europe
horse burgers dressed up as beef burgers. Forigners for u , they cannot be trusted
German sausage whats in it nope stick to tried and tested british grub I say , Curry , snitzels , bolognaise , pitzas ect ect
I do occasionally eat fish, Eddie worded my point correctly.
No, not crocodile.
Re: carrion, something to do with "not eating anything more than two steps from the Sun" (I don't recall the exact phrase).

What do you think they eat themselves?
Would you?
Just how freshly killed do you think the meat you eat is?
If you can get it, try eating some beef from a cow slaughtered only a few hours earlier - see how well you enjoy it.
The try again to answer the actual question - "What distinguishes "carrion" from the meat which you eat?"
Oh yes - so you did.
The article which said that there's no logic to it, and that "the thought that the French eat horse while we eat good beef becomes a chauvinistic way of asserting national identity"
And chauvinism is a form of extreme patriotism and nationalism and a belief in national superiority and glory. It can be also defined as "an irrational belief in the superiority or dominance of one's own group or people". Moreover, the chauvinist's own people are seen as unique and special while the rest of the people are considered weak or inferior.

And you failed to mention any of the other possibilities in the article, instead just wanting to complain again about the British folk. Do you not have the ability to look at anything from any other angle? Very narrow-minded but I guess it suits your narrative.
"
Part of the reason is people frequently see horses as pets, and humans tend to put "extra qualities and values" on animals they call pets, he says.
"As soon as you give an animal a name, how can you eat it? I've got lambs, sheep, with names - they live forever. I don't name the commercial flock, which won't," he says"
And:
"
Horses helped out in warfare. There have been huge sacrifices alongside riders in historic battles. And there are sentimental depictions like War Horse," he says.
Their widespread use as working animals has had a lasting effect, argues food historian Ivan Day.
"We have to remember at one point, before railways, horses were the main means of transport. You don't eat your Aston Martin," he says.
Food historian Dr Annie Gray agrees the primary reasons for not eating horses were "their usefulness as beast of burden, and their association with poor or horrid conditions of living".
She suspects the practical considerations have become so embedded in culinary norms that horseflesh has garnered emotional connotations."
Lastly:
" others may be more inclined to think of horses as majestic, or associate them with nobility.
The killing of horses for meat is still an emotive subject as many people see them as companion animals rather than a food source, according to the RSPCA."
Hope that helps broaden your mind.

We used to, there was a fad in the 90's for meat such as croc and a few others, I think came from Australia?

Prior to 23/06/16 I did
Ah, the king/queen of irrelevant comments makes his/her usual tiresome appearance...UK economy grows faster than German economy.
Next you'll be shutting down yet another topic for no reason
I'm sure that across the UK there are some people with unusual pets.
As I said, there's a difference between eating a pet, and eating an animal of the same type which someone, somewhere has as a pet.
It can't have escaped your attention that some people keep pigs as pets. Nor that the consumption of pork, bacon, sausages etc is widespread and considered normal.
Did you know that they eat guinea pigs in Peru?
Did you know that we only have rabbits here because they were introduced for food?
