Your author dropped in last night as one of his party was keen on a topical dinner, and found the pub doing a strong trade in all sorts of food and drink, with a number of bookings implying that the Lord Nelson has developed a strong reputation. The menu even featured a 'Tesco burger'...half horse, half beef.

I am all in favour of modern citizens immersing themselves in historical events as a way of understanding the past, including the eating of historical food. But horse meat? I don't think so :)
