International audience At the North-Eastern extremity of the Turkic-speaking world, in Eastern Siberia, the Yakuts have adapted the steppe pastoral system to the environment of taiga and its strikingly harsh climate.

International audience At the North-Eastern extremity of the Turkic-speaking world, in Eastern Siberia, the Yakuts have adapted the steppe pastoral system to the environment of taiga and its strikingly harsh climate. Horse husbandry is extremely extensive and mainly devoted to food production. In response to F. Poplin's paper (1992) Le cheval, viande honteuse [Horse Flesh, a Shameful Meat], I insist on the lack of any horse-eating taboo among Yakuts and its consequences on the consumption of horse meat (all parts are eaten, fat and offal being particularly important), as well as on how meat is displayed and shared. Finally I draw a comparison between horse and pig and between horse and cow among Yakut and French people. In Yakutia, horse is situated at a “good distance” from man: thus, it can be eaten, and no contradiction exists between eating horse meat and loving horses. Situés à l'extrémité nord-est de l'extension du monde turc, en Sibérie orientale, les Iakoutes ont adapté le système pastoral des steppes à un milieu de taïga, caractérisé par un climat continental d'une rigueur inouïe. L'hippophagie est le principal débouché de leur élevage équin, qui se distingue par son extrême extensivité. En écho à un article de F.
