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.
