My God! You are the Scottish police force of FR. I hope Jim pays you for your tedious and ongoing duty to make sure no one insults your precious Britain.
The fact of the matter is that Oxford University Press (not exactly a small publishing firm) has now sought to claim it was Jews (as well as Muslims) who complained about “pork-related” words. An outrageous lie that fooled no one. This is akin to Harper Collins (an American firm - I’m not shy about attacking my own) banning Israel from its published atlas. When the blowback got too bad for them, they pulped hundreds of thousands of those atlases. Let’s see if Oxford backs off turning Charlotte’s Web into a non-piggy type kiddie book.
Since I now refuse to buy from Harper Collins, I’m going to have to burn my Oxford press copy of Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management.
I hope Jim equally isn’t paying you for your tedious attacks on me. My defence of my country from unfair criticism seems to bother you for some reason.
An admirable replacement, if you could find it, would be Eliza Action's Modern Cookery for Private Families (1845) - much more original and creative than Mrs B, who was more of a journalist than a cook. Though given your familiarity with British cultural traditions, I wouldn't be surprised if you already had it.
