Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one. It's something my great-grandfather used to say, based on how he fed his family during the Blitz.
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, any help with pronunciation would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to a2k, prudence.

There is no greater translator;
@RecklessPrudence,
Ceteris defectis, venare in terra regis
The pronunciation I know is what is sometimes called "ecclesiastical" or
"church latin". I believe in Classical Latin that first "c" would be pronounced
like "k".
