Fetch me the cat, that I may hoover him

[desperance]

Oh, hey, look, I have been working! I've written a short thousand words today, and may yet write more. Therefore, I am entitled to point to this:

from 'Food in England', by Dorothy Hartley, 1954 - a book I love, because it came out at the same time as Elizabeth David began to change for ever the way the British cook, and Hartley stands resolutely with her back to David, recording how the best of British had cooked for the last thousand years - on the feeding of the family dog (for yes, she is thorough):

"Most dogs will enjoy the spoonful of milk pudding left by baby, or cheese rinds, but milk and meat should not be given at the same meal."

Dogs keep kosher. Who knew?

Also. this. Now there's a mensch.
