WCRP?

The shady proprietor of a strip mall which nominally sold lumberjack and log splitting hardware hosted a wild animal show during which his lady was injured by a wildcat. The headline read "Maul Mall Moll Maul."

We had a little discussion last night about medieval cooking. The received wisdom is that they loaded on the spices to cover the taste of spoiled meat, but I argued that the rich (who could afford the spices) could also afford fresh meat. On reflection, even they couldn't get venison to the table that quickly, so it is probably true that if the steaks are high you need spices.
