Alizaunde, does mention it in her article on diguised food which can be
found in the FOOD section of my Florilegium as this file:
Warners-art       (32K)  6/29/98    An article on disguised food.

     3:Drumsticks  cooked standing up and served in  some  battle 
formation-  especially good for fighter-type Kings. By  the  way, 
round  slices of very large turnips, parsnips, et al.  make  good 
shields for these fellahs, though I would only bother with the 
side and front ranks. A sufficiently deft pastrycook could make
`helms ' to be added for the last twenty minutes of cooking...

drumstick soldiers for marching scenes.

Sorry, not as much detail here as I thought. But this is a wonderful
article just full of wonderful illusion food and sotelitie ideas. I
highly recommend it.
