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.
