bob.243 7,508 Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 From another sight. It probably looks strange to us now but in 1938 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire this was the display you would have seen at some time of the year at your local... butchers shop. "In the days before fridges, a butcher's shop displays its many rabbits, ducks, pheasants, geese, hares and other fowl. Eating rabbit was very popular, they provided a ready source of meat, as they breed year round." 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
