My annotated Dracula has informed me that when Harker said his robber steak was “in the style of the London cat’s-meat!” he was referring to “A tradition in London was the “cat’s-meat man,” a vendor who sold little bits of meat on skewers for consumption by cats”
I am overjoyed by this knowledge that there were Victorians just randomly getting lil kebabs for their CATS
I am so happy to learn this was a thing, looks like they were door to door pet food sellers.
