Meat Was Burned

These records show the black
market was furnishing in 1180
when William Sperlynge wa S
caught selling meat by candlelight
after the official market had
closed. They dealt harshly with
black marketeers in those days 30
Sperlynge was locked in the pillory
and heaps of his meat were piled
around him and buraed-the meat
that is. Sperlynge was then fined
so cents and released.
A price, list of 1923 shows that
King Edward III ordered 10 beef
carcasses and 20 pig carcasses for
a banquet and had to pay total
of $45. In 1888, the company fl
nanced a few ships to fight the
Spanish Armada.
Drool over this menu Of a com
paay session in 1774. Breakfast:
sirloin OF beef, ribs, chuck beef
and tea. Lunch: ham, roast fowl,
boiled fowl, oysters, goose, turkey,
auckland tea. This isn't one of
those Choice of menus every-
body ate everything.
Incidentally, most of this infor-
nation comes from the assistant
secretary of the company, the apt
ly named Frank Veal.
