There is probably a cultural 'taboo' on horse meat in some nations but not in others...

HiddenPalace: In actual fact there is! According to the anthropologist Marvin Harris some cultures class horsemeat as taboo because the horse converts grass into meat less efficiently than ruminants. When breeding cattle for meat, a cow or a sheep will produce more meat than a horse if fed with the same amount of grass. There is also an element of sentimentality, as horses have long enjoyed a close relationship with many humans, on a similar level to household pets – this can be seen projected in such Anglophone cultural icons such as Black Beauty and My Little Pony.

I was amazed to see Australia on this list, since (like other Anglophone countries) they have a fairly big cultural taboo against it. According to Wikipedia, it's mainly Belgian-owned, and exported to Japan and Europe... I guess Australia just has good horse-farming country, so it's worth producing it there even if it gets eaten a long way away!

I'm surprised not to see Hungary because horse meat sausages are one of their specialties

Cconsidering there smallish population , and there ever dropping population involved in agriculture , it makes sense.
