SC - serving hot fritters

[LYN M PARKINSON]

Some people definately had their own servers, but there are also banquet
paintings, some can be seen in costume books, where the servers are in
livery.  There's an Italian wedding painting in which the tables form a U
shape.  The servers offer food to the diners, working on the inside of
the U.  It's quite formal, unlike Brughel's peasants, who take the door
off its hinges to carry around lots of bowls.  There seem to have been
quite a variety of forms.  Authentic customs, other than inferred from
paintings, would be the directions in sources like The Babees' Book,
which I don't have.


I like this idea, too, and it makes sense as a doable feast thing.
