[Sca-cooks] medieval dog recipes

[Jeff Gedney]

Re-Checking my copy of Hakluyt's Voyages, I see that my friend
Ranald is correct. ( as he usually is ) 

BTW, The First of Frobisher's voyages to the Americas 
( Frobisher made three ) was 1576. (It was not the first 
English search for the NorthWest Passage either). 

I believe the account I was referencing was the second voyage, 
in 1577. 

My memory evidently confused the fact that the explorers 
seem to have shot and subsequently dissected an eskimo dog 
( finding a bone in it's "pizzle" which is apparently very 
lupine and not like European dogs) with the fact that the 
natives also raised them for meat.

Also the Elizabethan Explorers apparently liked the taste of 
Penguin, though later English describe it as being too oily 
and "fishy". Tastes change, I suppose.

My apologies for misleading the list.

There are SO damn many more things I want to try in 
the SCA than I can possibly have time for. 
It's killing me!!!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.
