the elites love their high meat

[svrn]

and excerpt from steffansohn

In midwinter it occurred to me to philosophize that in our own and foreign lands taste for a mild cheese is somewhat plebeian; it is at least a semi-truth that connoisseurs like their cheeses progressively stronger. The grading applies to meats, as in England where it is common among nobility and gentry to like game and pheasant so high that the average Midwestern American or even Englishman of a lower class, would call them rotten.

i guess its not just raw dairy that they like

Wow. That's a little gem you found, there.  I wonder if we could find other writings that refer to the English nobility's tendency to like high meat. I hope so.

The trouble is that the meat is not only rotten but also always heavily cooked, and therefore pretty dangerous. I used to eat aged cooked pheasant in an  English gentlemens` club in London and it was truly foul stuff.
