It's generally considered a bit of a luxury item everywhere, but I've had more than a few really good horse tacos in Mexico, and Ikea meatballs for a while had some horse meat in most of the world until some of the "nooooo but the horsies are so magestic!" Activists got mad about it in Europe
It's also very commonly added to ground beef and other beef products around the world, but that is usually not food-grade horse, so I would argue that's probably not great, but I think the repeated arguments from people that the horsemeat trade must be ended at all costs, by force if necessary are insane.
The main issues are labeling and the use of food-unsafe drugs in animals

Those were also very good at that time and absolute garbage after they stopped. They may have changed the recipe further, but the time periods do line up.
