The usual (boooo-riing!) fruit and vegetables were available, but also: whole deer (whole as in: torso, legs and still furry, no head though), whole pheasant (disappointingly no peasants), wild boar pies, pork pies, xmas pudding, cakes, tarts (not the two-legged variety unfortunately) cheeses, bread, nuts, beer, wine.. did I mention beer?
