It's a delicacy... in third-world countries.

[The class is discussing the vices and bad habits of horses. 'Kicking' is the subject being addressed.]
Kid who's always asleep: So what would you do if you had one who would not stop kicking whatever you did? ...just send him to the butcher??
Teacher: Umm... maybe if you live in Asia.
Kid who's always asleep: Okay.
[Discussion continues... 10 or so minutes pass.]
Kid who's always asleep: Asia?...oh. I get it. We're talking about horses, not cows!
[Note that the word "horse" had been said no less than 25 times during class.]
