There were some other pieces to mention too like a diagram of the seating and
positioning of dishes on the serving tables at a coronation feast, hand
written lists and recipes as well as texts, and illustrations with various
items and tools being used in the kitchen...

It really is. I was impressed. From what Ms Schiffen was saying though,
this is not a travelling exibit, and it is only on display at the Folgers for
a certain time period. I don't know when the last date of the exibit is, but
if Washington DC is within a reasonable distance for folks on the list I'd
recommend visiting the Folgers (soon) as a worthwhile venture. :-)
