5. A story from a past banquet.
A few banquets ago……..
I was sitting down at the table and I ordered a servant to go pick up the Blackbird pie.
They obviously didn’t manage to cook the birds, therefore, when I HEROICLY cut it up…….. All of the blackbirds flew out and I screamed. Later on, when the servant’s head was about to be chopped off, he told me that there were supposed to be live birds in there and the previous kings, would use these pies all the time.
Sadly, it was too late, because when I turned to apologise, his head was on the floor!!

6. These are some of my special dishes!
The dish I am going to show you first is my all time favourite –
BLACKBIRD PIE!

7. Here is my second favorite dish the astonishing Cockentrice
Sew the front half of a cockerel onto the back half of a baby pig and roast!!!!!!!
Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
