Ok. Thanks Rosie.
I have corrected it.

How long would a butchers shop be open to today, with a display like that.

'Elf n safety/food standards would have it shut down in a heartbeat.  But would anyone today even think about buying anything from a shop like that.

Oh, and there's the problem of preparing a bird or rabbit......plucked and skinned, who would do that in a 21 century kitchen. .......and who would have the knowledge in the first place.

I processed a Pheasant last week. Never tried anything like that before but just followed a film guide on the internet. No bother! Not sure I'd want to do it too often though.
