as a Roman can confirm. I don't eat horse meat myself but my girlfriend loves it and it's really hard to find it in Rome. Traditional cuisine here is mostly about ovine meat, lamb mostly ("abbacchio") There's a typical roman food "coppiete" that was traditionally made with dried horse meat (similar to beef jerky) but nowadays the pork meat version is much more popular. Don't know why exactly. Strangely enough horse meat is a favorite for many of my roman friends, even though it's not easy to get it.
