Their naked, mutilated bodies were strung up on the nearby public gibbet, while the Orangist mob ate their roasted livers in a cannibalistic frenzy. Throughout it all, a remarkable discipline was maintained by the mob, according to contemporary observers

The discipline was remarkable. First, they at least cooked the liver first. None of that barbaric raw stuff. Second, they limited themselves to livers. No bitter gall bladders. Reduced the risk of prion diseases by avoiding the brain. That's outstanding discipline!
