SC - Ambiance: Was : Cookery-Art or Science

[James Gilly / Alasdair mac Iain]

I would guess they were handed a dried, salted fish, like a smoked
kipper.  The kippers may have been cooked, and piled on a huge platter
for people pick up.  The pottage would have been served in a bowl, I
think, and the overnight cooking was most likely the way.  If they
bothered to spice, or sweeten it for farm workers, it was probably done
early, as the pottage was brought up to hot on a fresh fire.
