[Sca-cooks] Dogs and spits was Olaf's Party

[johnna holloway]

Actually they used dogs in certain kitchens
to turn the spits... There's a picture in one
of Yarwood's books of an extinct type of small
dog that was a spit dog... think hamster on
a wheel and you get the general idea. The dog
ran in a wheel and the spit turned.
