I'm so hungry

This hungry:
- I joke that it's the Very Wasteful Caterpillar. Damn thing eats a single hole through the middle of a fruit, abandons it, and moves onto the next food item. Not cool, caterpillar. Not cool.

- I always knew lasagna was horse. How else could they glue the layers together?
  
  They deliver it at superluminal speeds and the speed keeps everything together.
- Horse meat is absolutely tasty, and if it wasn't so unpopular it'd probably be in the same price range as beef, overall the market is quite small, and absolutely zero horses are raised for meat. Bluntly said at the end of a horse's career an owner is asked "do you want an urn, vacuum packs, or not pay anything I'll sell the meat". If your dietary preference for meat is animals which have been loved and pampered all their life horse is a very good choice.
  Trouble with the scandal back then was that it was all untracked horse meat. And there's plenty of horses around which get treated with veterinary drugs that make them unsuitable for human consumption because no owner is prioritising slaughter over their health.
  
  Eh, it goes on the plate like frogs do. Horse meat is great and cheaper than beef here
  
  Horse salami is sorta kinda common I would say. Not as in "in every household"-common, but still not unusual. Can't remember what it tastes like tho.
  
  I ate horse meat before. It was chewy, and I have special ethical issues with it, like for me it's like eating a Dog. It does not matter even if it where tasty.
  
  Yup
- I checked the best before dates of all the beef lasagne meals I have... and they're off

I'm so hungry I could eat 55 BURGERS 55 FRIES 55 TACOS 55 PIES 55 COKES 100 TATER TOTS 100 PIZZA 100 TENDERS 100 MEATBALLS 100 COFFEES 55 WINGS 55 SHAKES 55 PANCAKES 55 POTATOES 55 PASTAS AND 155 TATERS
- And a diet Coke! Gotta watch your calories, after all.
- This sounds line a K.Flay song somehow.
- It always bothered me that this place sells both tacos and meatballs.

How did I get to thirty before realizing the expression comes from people eating horses when they're starving and have no other option
- Buddy, I'm 41, and I always thought until just now it was saying you were "so hungry you could eat a(n entire) horse."
  
  That's how I've always interpreted it too.
- OHHH
  I thought it's just because horses are so big, because you're so hungry that nothing smaller could satisfy your hunger.
  So, if you're even hungrier than that, the expression could be "I'm so hungry I could eat Jimmy".
- It's pretty much an Anglo Saxon exception that horse meat isn't eaten... It's not as popular as it once was in Quebec, but it used to be readily available...
  
  Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.
- Which expression? I'm fluent in English but don't know all expressions
  
  I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

Elongated nostrils, white showing in the eyes and ears close to the neck. That is a very angry horse.
- Widened eyes and flaring nostrils can also be fear, no?
  
  It's a horse. There's always at least 90% fear
  
  Safe to assume that it's not a happy Dobbin
  
  In any case, that horse is ready to go
  
  True, the raised head could indicate that. Hard to tell from a picture alone.

Not that hungry...
Yet...

So hungry, I could eat a The Picard Maneuver!

Absolutely worth it
- Horse Burger?
  
  Neigh, but the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had

- Ooh I've been there

Just win that race ok

Where I live it’s common enough that there is a stall in the farmers market that sells horse meat and sausage.

Calm down, I said eat out 😏
- This post is about a horse, sir.
  Not a cow... like your mom!
  
  You just roasted the shit out his mom.
  What a shame, I prefer a medium rare

- Why did your drug test came back positive
  horse meat man
- Totally forgot about that.

I actually ate horsemeat once at a (supposedly) Mongolian restaurant. Nothing memorable compared to other types of meat
- There's a good chance I ate it unknowingly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_horse_meat_scandal

some days,
you are juust mortadella di cavallo hungry
