Venturing into history and mythology, anger personified as Ira from 'The Seven Deadly Sins' series reminds us of the fiery emotions we all experience at times. Just like South American cannibals who once practiced roasting their prey in the 16th century—an eerie reminder of humanity's dark past. On a lighter note, Carmarthenshire introduces us to an ingenious invention—a wheel worked by dogs—turning roasting spits and adding a touch of whimsy to traditional cooking methods. Stratford-upon-Avon Mop Fair showcases ox roasting at its finest during Christmastide Festival celebrations—a mouthwatering spectacle that has stood the test of time.
