[Sca-cooks] The Science of Cookery

[Sandra J. Kisner]

Actually, horns and antlers are different things, I believe.  Antlers are shed each year, and regrow; horns are permanent.

The Hungarian word is _szarvas_, and it's literally 'with horns'.
('Antler' and 'horn' are the same word, which makes sense, as antlers are just the form that horns take on deer.) In my experience, it means any sort of deer with antlers.
