On the nomenclature issue, how about "chef" or "head cook"? The fact
that these terms are comprehensible to modern ears doesn't ENTIRELY
disqualify them from SCA use :-)
And if we're talking nomenclature (I know this is going to come up
sooner or later, so let's get it out of the way), the word is "course".
Not "remove", but "course". The earliest OED citation of "remove" meaning
a course in a meal is due to Benjamin Franklin.
