    smoked turkey legs became Pterodactyl Wings and the price
    doubled.

    Names can be a powerful influencer, even stupid ones.

    When Neekha was five and into dinosaurs like so many kids are, she
    was impressed by the name. Now that she is a jaded 20 year old it's
    "stupid #$$#%**&)(#$#@$^ marketroids".

    Kugluktuk [...] moose

    We just thawed out the first of the two pound packages. I made a
    small meatloaf with half and some chili with the rest. It smelled
    and tasted moosey but somehow a wee bit different than normal.
    Perhaps their diet above the treeline is a factor. The meat was even
    leaner than usual, so perhaps they were harvested in late winter or
    early spring.

    The cucumber sandwich is the aristocrat of the tea table

    Sounds like somebody has an idealizing notion of aristocracy.

    In the old days real English aristocrats survived on thick slabs of
    roast beef accompanied by huge tankards of French claret while common
    folk got by with cabbages, roots and small beer.

    You may begin your roast in the high oven for 10 minutes which
    sears the meat and locks in the juices, then turn the oven down
    and continue to cook as per instructions.

    Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Mix the flour, mustard and
    seasonings together. Rub into the roast. Place roast into a
    roasting pan. Pour Worcestershire over. Surround roast with the
    vegetables and bay leaf. Pour in the red wine and water. Bake to
    desired doneness see chart below, basting often. Use the pan
