[She has a small cauldron of water ready (for poached eggs) and a metal grate to grill the vegetables and bread. Lucinda hauls it over to the hearth so that it can get heated up.]
We have large cold boxes. [You can just call it by its real name Lucy... But she has a habit of being roundabout sometimes.]
So in our household, when we can afford to, we buy larger amounts of food. Raw meat, raw fish, and fresh vegetables keep for much longer though you don't want to forget about what lies within. Everything eventually rots after all, no matter how long you try to avoid it.
[Lucy says that part so cheerfully...
She hangs the pot of water over the fire and slides the grate beneath it.]
But yes, cold boxes. Very useful. It's seen as excessive but we have two in our house. That's why, I'm trying to be conscientious here. If I bought too much, there isn't a reliable way to preserve the food and it would go to waste.
