Cowleys Fine Foods who make jerky from horse meat in Tonypandy say that in the last couple of weeks they have seen a marked increase in sales. Martin Cowley says he thinks it is because people know what they are getting when they buy his products and that he has found that a lot of people are interested in trying it.

He says that pubs and restaurants are providing the biggest boost in his sales. Publicans say that they are putting horse on their menu as a talking point as much as anything else.
