"On Christmas Eve, Scott’s team had treated themselves to a special meal of horse meat flavoured with onion and curry powder. “Then an arrowroot, cocoa and biscuit hoosh sweetened; then a plum pudding; then cocoa with raisins, and finally a dessert of caramels and ginger,” wrote Scott. “After the feast it was difficult to move. Wilson and I couldn’t finish our share of plum pudding. We have all slept splendidly and feel thoroughly warm – such is the effect of full feeding."
