yes, i'm assuming it was period as pheasants would use lesser pieces of the 
animals.... :)

Are you assuming that oxtail soup is period, or do you have evidence of the 
fact?  The earliest English reference I can locate is from 1460 and does not 
appear to have any relation to soup.

The Standard (23 August 1882) provides, "It was the Royalist refugees who taught 
us to prepare soup of the ox tails, which until then were tossed to the dogs."  
This appears to be the source of Larousse's opinion that oxtail soup came to 
England during the French Revolution.
