I guess they didn't quite have the same food handeling abilities we do today.
I'll take mine with a nice glass of port and some walnuts.


I'm not too keen on the walnuts, but rounding off a good meal with a cheese board and a glass (or two) of port is the civilized way to end a days deer stalking!

Its not practical to do in the summer due to the long days, but in winter, when every body is back in by 5pm at the very latest, its a very nice way to fill the long evening..It also helps that reveille the next morning is at a relatively sane hour too!
