I hate explaining!

Well, Maurice Chevalier was a popular French entertainer.

'Chevalier' is French for horseman.

A 'boucherie chevaline' is a horsemeat butcher's shop.

People in France and French Canada eat horsemeat.

A horse banquet sounds like an occasion when large portions of
our palomino pals might feature on the plate.

Such an event might be popular with equine gourmets and gourmands.
