Eating bloody meat recalls ancient beliefs in its strengthening power. But why are so many beefy images linked to British 'freedom'? Rogers ties a set of icons (roast beef, John Bull, bull dogs and butchers) to plain, stubborn, Protestant Englishness, in contrast to corrupt, effeminate Catholic Europe.
