\"Queueing<\/p>\n

This busy scene on 384 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton shows crowds queuing outside a store advertising\u00a0\u00a0‘Horse Flesh for Human\u00a0Consumption’ \u00a0while a lorry unloads more meat.<\/p>\n

The photo was taken on January 11th 1947 when post-war food rationing was still in full effect, and according to\u00a0Budgie Byrne<\/a>, the meat was on sale in Brixton for many years:<\/p>\n

Used to be able to buy Horse Meat in Brixton Market in the 50’s and 60’s. I remember my grandmother buying chunks of it and cooking it up for her dog. Was a staple in some areas during the war. Have had Horse meat steaks in France, rather nice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Horse meat is of course still widely\u00a0available in many UK supermarkets<\/a>, although these days they like to call it ‘beef’ \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
