Wild Game Meat is Served…in the Garden…via the Internet!
I recently helped a friend plan an outdoor party. She lives a fair distance from me so, while I was going to join her a few of days before the party to help prepare, we did the initial planning over the phone, with both of us online. The menu we planned was to include a variety of meats and we enjoyed perusing the internet for ideas. In fact I had suggested a variety of meats because I'd read that meat and savoury herb stewing techniques were developed in Anglo-Saxon England before common use in Europe. So we were going to celebrate this aspect of our culinary history!…and throw in some barbecue to include a more modern element as well! In our persual, we eventually found out that it's possible to actually buy beef online! This piqued my friend's interest and it also proved to be a good way for us to do the planning together, since we could look at the selection at the same time from our respective locations. As we explored further, we were both surprised to see that even wild game meat is available online. Were we the last to know? In any case, that fit in perfectly with our menu theme. Having our Anglo Saxon ancestors in mind, we took a moment to appreciate the amazing change in human experience, with technology allowing such a vastly different means of procuring meat! The outcome was a great success and I also enjoyed seeing how the internet continues to bridge people, points in time, and what have you, in unexpected ways!
