SC - Re: Serving Game at Feasts...

[Susan Laing]

Hi Morgana

Don't know if this bears relevance on your question, but some parts here 
(Lochac : Australia) we have a tradition of courtesy when planning to serve 
Vension at feasts - a communiation requesting permission to serve "The Royal 
Game" is sent to the Reigning Prince & Princess (I haven't heard of *any* 
instance where they've refused permission)

It probably developed from the Royal Game Preserve perogatives from the 
English Middle ages and while not universally followed it's a tradition in 
the Barony of River Haven and a few other areas across Australia

Could your local group have heard some garbled tale of this (either occuring 
now OR in history) and decided that "ALL GAME" are therefore forbidden to 
the rank and file members??

(and the idea of keeping barcode labels from Tins!!!! <Sheesh!!!>)

Hugs and Salutations

Mari
