[Sca-cooks] Beaver meat recipes

[Terry Decker]

Beaver tail was classed as a delicacy by trappers in the late 18th and early 
19th Centuries.  Modern re-enactors tend to disagree, but the historical 
record says they are mistaken.  The number of Renaissance recipes that exist 
suggest that it was considered a delacy in Europe until the European 
population was nearly made extinct by the beaver hat.
