Kentucky Fried Boar had the same reputation as KFC does nowadays ?
No, they hadn't heard of franchise back then and so a good recipe stayed in-house. Why d'ya think people came all the way from the continent to visit Stonehenge? Wasn't for the megaliths at all, 'twas for the eateries that had sprung up in the area, all based on the local porky tradition - which continues even today in the form of Wiltshire's most excellent and esteemed dry-cured ham ;-)

Not so daft as you might think either. There are rocks everywhere, but I'd walk a long way for a good pork chop. And if they make this theme park to keep the kids occupied, with swimming lessons in the ditch, bow'n'arrow lessons against the bank, and that amazing climbing frame across the valley, I'm sold.
