The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.

That doesn't make sense. That makes horses apple trees not apples.

As a Czech I find that utterly absurd.

We call it "doughnuts".

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Preposterous. You should get your head czeched.

In Slovene we call them "horse figs."

That's funny, I call something else horse figs

In the US south,, we also call horse shit 'horse apples.' That's pretty cool, that the translation persisted.

TIL why the 'horse apple pie' I ate in grade school tasted like shit.

I thought I just didn't like eating horses.
