Flourish of pageantry
Ancient societies and clubs in such cities as London, Oxford and Cambridge still observe the 2000-year old feast, where the boar’s head is carried into the dining hall in a flourish of pageantry. The chef bears the head on a tray, followed by the knife bearer, choristers and minstrels.
This great delicacy is splendidly decorated with a garland of rosemary and laurel and, as a final touch, a lemon—the symbol of plenty—is placed in its mouth.
A modern variation of the boar's head feast is the feasting on a suckling pig, a more common practice in England today.
It’s the good loser that finally loses out
