Horse meat and Alpo remind me of two things:

1. The episode of All In The Family where [Gloria cooks horse meat](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/all-in-the-family-gloria-cooks-horse-meat/651432);
2. An episode of SCTV where Lorne Greene parodies his Alpo commercials, using the trop of elderly people eating dog food. ‘Maybe [elderly man’s name] has been around so long because Alpo’s been around so long.’
