My great grandfather fought for the Canadians through North Africa, up through Italy, into Germany. While in Africa and Italy all the Canadians were given for meat was mutton as it was cheap and readily available back home. He told a story of him and a few of his friends sneaking into a private farm shooting an Italian farmers cow. they had to bury the carcass and forced the chef to help them cook it. He always said that the chef didn’t want to help them in case he got caught but they had guns and he didn’t lol.
