Iliad Barbecue Update

Book 15, line 439 (in the Fagles translation): Nestor protests to Zeus that the Greeks always used to "burn[] the fat thighs of sheep or bulls" in sacrifice, which apparently wasn't too useful now that Zeus is slaughtering Greeks. Thigh meat is, of course, tastier, due to the amount of muscle involved--and, again, some fat for texture. But maybe Zeus is a wing man.
