You are too indulgent Nick. Not so many French eat horse meat actually, I would say much less than one in ten. I had got the point about the water, I still think it would have made more sense to eat the horses than just throw them over board... but of course I wouldn't expect an Englishman, vegetarian moreover, to agree to that ;)
Back on topic, talking about unedible things, you don't happen to have Sir Branson's ear by any chance? Think he might be interested in this Bermuda based N.A. Gyre cultivation nonsense?

You don't want to eat your horse and your English is better than that of most native speakers... I think the point was that the *water* began to run out and horses drink a lot of it so, to conserve supplies, they get thrown over first...
