A Camp Meal

SM Stirling, On The Oceans Of Eternity (New York, 2000), Chapter Twenty-One, pp. 420-425.

Beef ribs and loin of forest pig in wild garlic and herbs spitted over coals;
freshly baked bread;
cheese;
raisins;
olives;
dried figs;
bread and cheese toasted while the meat cooks.

I am vegetarian by preference and dislike olives but would be able to survive on the rest of this menu - and indeed also on meat if there were no alternative. Our vicarious enjoyment of food continues.

Kaor, Paul!

And Nicholas van Rijn would enjoy the feasts served up by S.M. Stirling!
