  TURKEYS brought into Dover in 1826:
  The quantity of turkeys and other poultry brought into Dover from France in the last two weeks, is computed at upwards of 13 tons weight; the quantity was more astonishing than the quality - From the general appearance of the fowls they seem to have suffered severely from the late panic.
  (Cinque Ports Herald 1 Jan 1826 p.3 col.1 )

  Does anyone remember the news story last year where a chap ate a canned chicken on his 25th wedding anniversary with no ill effects, his wife didn't join him as terrified of food poisoning
  
  I much prefer 'jugged hare' myself
