Item description
When meat and drink are provided, Banbán explains that the bacon is good because it comes from piglets that were never farrowed, having been cut out from their mother; and that the ale is good because it is brewed from a single grain of special corn: he found it when he inspected the crops of his land and killed a small dove (ferán eidinn).
