SC - Cook vs Feast Steward

[Karen]

The Four Seasons of the House of Cerrut, translated by Judith Spencer,
copyright 1983 by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A. from a 16th century text
shows the following on the page numbers noted:

Of  the birds:
Quail 85/Pheasant22/Pigeons118/Partridges21/Peacocks119Birds, small, and
thrushes118/ducks and geese115/roosters115/turtledoves120

Quote:
"Quail is eaten in the autumn, but do not overindulge.  It should be young,
plump, and well hung, pointed by hunting dogs or, better still, caught by
birds of prey."  The illustration shows small birds with typical quail like
pear shaped bodies hunted by sniffing hound dogs.
