[Sca-cooks] medieval dog recipes

[RON CARNEGIE]

I sure do not recall this from the accounts of Frobisher's voyages.  It has 
been some time since I have read them.  The event  is however most certainly 
pre-1600 CE.  Martin Frobisher made three voyages to Newfoundland.  The 
first two were voyagesd of explorartion, and the last a misguided attempt at 
mining.  These voyages were in 1577-1578.  I can peruse my sources when I 
get home.  Many native americas did eat dog, but relations between the 
Eskimo and Frobisher were NOT good.
