He'd eat the nose of the wild boar, take a mouthful of peacock, a nibble of a swan. The point was to show how rich he was by affording to waste such valuable meat. The massive leftovers were given to staff and then to the poor who queued up at the palace gates the day after Christmas. That 'free food' was known as dole. And today, we call unemployment social security 'The Dole.' as a slightly disparaging term. <br />Caro Ramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499318515241879831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-89592565338949070862019-12-26T12:20:19.919-05:002019-12-26T12:20:19.919-05:00Stan, such tips at holiday time are expected, and ...Stan, such tips at holiday time are expected, and in some cases demanded, by people in the same sorts of jobs in NYC.

I want then to look like the men in the picture about. Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.com
