I can understand most of those but horse? Horse meat is delicious and makes for great steaks!
 
Somehow from reading a wiki page on salo (the food) I came to be reading the plot summary of de Sade's Justine and Juliette.
 
Same. I rather like sandwiches with it, but plain cooked liver is something I am not a fan of.
 
Black pudding is the bomb! It honestly sounds a lot worse than it is; the American version has an even more literal name - blood sausage!

Most of the Anglosphere has a cultural aversion to horse meat for the same reasons dog/cat/dolphin are shunned.

For Scotland they should've put the "Haggis"

Iconic, but it's more of a novelty than a staple; deep-fried everything is now the Scottish meal de jure!

Yeah...
But, what, exactly, is Haggis anyway?
 
Recently discovered this Übermensch in my screenshot folder; if I remember correctly it was eugenic coincidence (firstborn child of a strong and a quick couple with the insane luck of attractive being added too) combined with the mastery of the immortality event chain. Sadly it's from the pre-China-patch. :/

Sheep's pluck (basically the internal organs, mainly lungs) boiled in its stomach. In all honesty, it's just a large sausage.

Think I'd like that...
 
Scotland; deep fried pizza. Really that is the most digusting thing people could think of? Not the fact that they make all kinds of dishes with organs?
France; pressed ducks (and frog legs). Sure, the frogs are weird, but they sell tiny bird brains pre-packed in the super market and you mind pressed duck?
Italy; horse steaks. How is eating horse suddenly a problem?
Low countries; head cheese. Nowadays just another processed meat not usually made from head meat. Moreover; famous for sliding raw herring into their mouth in one go.
Especially for SCOTLAND. Haggis, man. Haggis.
 
The weirdness of haggis is overrated. It's really just minced meat, and slightly slimier. Like we haven't all had meat of indiscernible origins before.

I am too picky for meat of indiscernible origins.

These days there is also vegetarian haggis, which is mostly oat, oil and very finely chopped vegetables, so basically porridge sold in the form of a large meat sausage.
