Lord Ras speaks of "hanging" meat for aging purposes; this is
certainly something that we do with game, and, as he points out, that
is done for culinary purposes to good effect.
I am minded of a story told by a friend's father back in 19++
(TRANSMISSION ERROR: AUTHOR COULDN'T BE THAT OLD) concerning his
experiences in Europe during WWII. He was serving in a MP unit behind
the lines in France after Normandy, and encountered a dead cow (land
mine?), one haunch of which they removed and hung on the back of their
jeep, where it remained for nearly a week until they found the
opportunity to properly deal with it. After scraping off a layer of
road grime/exhaust/dead flies, they sliced it and grilled it and
proclaimed it the best beef they had ever eaten. (Hunger does make a
great sauce . . .)
