valarltd | Yuletide Youtube. Year Eight: Tasty Thursday

Let's kick off the Eighth Year of Yuletide Youtube with the traditional song that opens every Madrigal Dinner.

Sounds of the Season:
Legend has it that a student at Queen's College, Oxford, fended off a wild boar, using only his Latin Grammar book. Hence the song.

More likely, the boar's head is a pagan tradition, since roast boar was considered a must-have Norse feast dish and boars were sacred to Frey, lord of harvest and elves.
