Show King James and the Sirloin. Though the truth of tho story that King James I. of England once knighted knight-ed a loin of beef Is disputed, the house In which the ceremony Is said to havo occuired Is pointed out, as well as the table on which the sirloin lay. Tho sceno of tho historic jest lies between Hlgham's park and Chlngford, near I-ondon. It Is n curious houso with quaint low-pitched ceilings and a fine garden with fruit trees of gieat size. It was on his return from one of his hunting expeditions In Epphig forest thut tho Hrltish Solomon Is said to havo given practical proof of his favor for tho roast beef of old England. |
