The Rugby & Lutterworth Observer seems not to understand the point:
If horse were 'on the menu', it wouldn't be a problem: it's not illegal and eating it would be an active choice. The issue is, in fact, exactly that it's not listed 'on the menu',* so no-one was aware it was in the food on offer — and that is illegal.
* Definition of 'menu' from the Oxford English Dictionary:
II. Senses relating to a list or schedule. 2. a.
A list of the dishes to be served at a meal, or which are available in
a restaurant, etc.; a card on which such a list is written or printed, a
bill of fare. Also: the food available or to be served at a meal or in a
restaurant.
