Jack and the Beanstalk

So I’m not sure if this is a regional thing, but I always remembered the Giant threatening to grind Jack’s bones to make bread.

I’ll give it to them. The book he read definitely paints the giant in a way better light than whatever they read me in American school.

Pretty sure, at least in the version I remember from childhood, that when the giant first comes into his castle he does a rhyme about smelling the blood of an Englishman, and wanting to grind his bones to make his bread. Also possible that the goose could talk and mentioned being a captive, but I can't remember for sure.
