I saw Heston's Medieval Feasts on Sunday evening.
They prepare medieval style feast dishes and serve them to a celebrity dinner party.
For starters, they made a bowl of fruit-meat.
Made of meat, but prepared to look exactly like fruit.
I tell you, the sight of Germaine Greer biting into a "plum" that was in fact a bull's testicle was awesome.
And they did the four-and-twenty-blackbirds in a pie. Except they had to use pigeons because blackbirds are a protected species. They made eight small pigeon pies, and served these inside a gigantic pie (about 5 feet across) that had 24
live pigeons in it, which flew out when the lid was removed.
and yes, one did shit one someone's head.
