@samuelpepys good for you, Sam! Thoughtful regifting is key!
@samuelpepys An early example of "regifting."
I expect that it was much more widespread - certainly done more openly - in "olden times" than it is now. Has anyone done a study of this?
@samuelpepys chunks of meat changed hands pretty often back then. And without refrigeration, you gotta wonder what state they were in by the time they were cooked up. Prob avoiding the medium-rare option was a good idea.
The comfiture being well done, my wife and I took Mrs. Hunt by coach and carried her home, and did give her a box of sugar and a haunch of venison given me by my Lady the other day.
