I had thought (based on something I'd read, somewhere... Scully, 
maybe?) that the entremets were (generally) simpler foods, especially 
in taste.  In that sense, a frumenty would be less exotically spiced 
than the dishes which preceded it.  Wouldn't these serve in a similar 
function to a "palate cleanser"?  I don't swear that all entremets were 
"bland" but I remember going back to search recipes to see that the 
concept was valid.
