just for show, because he WILL want to eat it. (Only time I've ever
had to tell my sovereign "No.") >>>
Ah, but what about pig brains? I like this story that Selene has told
several times here over the years. (You can find the more complete
version of this in the Florilegium pig-heads-msg file.

The head was capped with a gilded
Crown, so I bore the Boar to the King Guy, exhorting him to de-crown the
pretender and begin the sweet course. The king graciously did so.
Being a
good little herald-cook, I announced it to the crowd.
"The King has the brains of a Pig!"
King Guy looks at me. I look at him.
"I have an amendment to the previous announcement. The King does NOT
have the
brains of a Pig!"
King Guy looks at me. I look at him.
"I'm leaving while I still have MY head," quoth I, and did so with
all speed.

So, how does HRH Gunthar like his brains? :-)

PS: There are instructions by Adamantius on preparing pig heads in
that file...
