A further 40 hunts were carried out across the Isles today
in honour of the Kings Boxing Day Hunt.
LARGISH
The King's party were out for four and a half hours, chased a
total of three boar, killing two and losing the third. Additionally, six braces
of rabbit and a half dozen Gramlings were collected. For those unfamiliar with
this regional species, the Gramling is a largish game bird that makes an
excellent casserole.
The palace will feast well on that lot. Of course, as
traditional, the first boar of the kill will be roasted in town tonight and
Royal City's poor will dine on 'boar in a bap' and enjoy the warmth of the open
fire. I believe three of the braces of rabbit are to be provided for stewing at
the festivities as well.
BELLIES
Boxing Day night is a night for generosity and full bellies
in the Royal City. I hope the other forty hunts are similarly generous with their
take. I'm pleased to be able to add that the Herald has sent a
couple of barrels of cider down for tonight to help along the party atmosphere.
See you at the feast folks.
