The milk is the cooking liquid and the rest of the feast had a large quantity 
of dairy in it already. I like to balance my feasts to some degree. If every 
remove is heavvvy dairy then I find the feast too onesided. I probably could 
have made other substitutions in other recipes but this was one that worked. 
You are right, the Celts were verrrry big on cattle (Tain Bo Culagne saga is 
an excellent example- the story of the cattle raids between Ulster and 
Connaght)
