Check out "A History of Private Life Vol II - Revelations of the Medieval
World" George Duby ed.
The section entitled "The Aristocratic Households of Feudal France", the
exact part concerning the meal starts on pg. 73.  Fra Niccolo and myself
were inspired by this to add a concierge to our staff for our upcoming joint
effort.  But it's got nifty names for every type of job, along with the
hierarchy for servants and lots more nifty info.  Enjoy.
