 I wonder if the Lord of the Manor ever got tired of eating the same recipes, 
 and ordered his cooks to "do something different, for Pete's sake!"  Do you 
 suppose they would have made substitutions then?  Chervil instead of Dill?  
 Capon instead of Duck?  Do you suppose they would have kept their jobs (or 
 their heads) if they didn't?
 
 Just curious,
