[Sca-cooks] Handling special diet needs at feasts

[Chip]

> Question. Have you ever done your own slaughtering and butchering?

I don't know if you meant this question for everyone or not, but yes I
have.  I took part in two sheep slaughters for our shire's '99 & '00
events & it was definitely an education.  I think everyone who eats
meat should participate in (or at least witness) a slaughter.

As I have opined before, meat is more than a lump shrink-wrapped to a
foam tray.  To take an animal from on-the-hoof status to feast
presentation gives one a greater appreciation for the life cycle & a
greater sense of pride in the finished product.
