[Sca-cooks] Green boar's head was Kitchen tips

[Johnna Holloway]

But green can be very striking.
There is one that is photographed in Flandrin's  Fêtes gourmandes au 
Moyen Âge.
It's colored green  from an herbal concoction with some gold gilding.
And to top it off, it's breathing fire. Master A. can attest that it's a 
great photo, I'm sure.
