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".

Preposterous. You should get your head czeched.

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

I thought I just didn't like eating horses.
