Agriculture: Food && Drink1. Pickled cabbage (said to be "uniformly disgusting") Cabbage juice: ulcer and stomach treatment (DMG.220). Is pickled cabbage juice an ulcer and stomach treatment? (Vinegar might not help the latter) 2. Bangers && mash 3. Fish && chips 4. Black pudding 5. Ploughman's 6. Steak && kidney pie "Cattle, sheep, horse, && pork are the principal livestock. Wheat, barley, oats, hay, rye, flax, && various veggies (many kinds ov which are brussel sprouts) comprise the major crops. Timber is carefully grown && harvested, incl. oak, pine, && yew wood for bows. Fishing provides a major source ov foodstuffs && salable export goods too." 1.
