XXV. A Dissertation on the Crane, as a Dish served up at great Tables in England. By the Reverend Mr. Pegge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
It appears from Horace, Epod. ii. that the ancients used the Crane as a viand; and what may seem more extraordinary, and even new to many people, our ancestors in this island formerly on great occasions, and in splendid entertainments, often served up the Crane as a sumptuous dish. I shall here produce some instances of this, and, as I imagine, enough to put the matter beyond all dispute.
