Wow! Thanks, Daniel for a lot of good info. From previous discussions
here there is also a little bit in this file in the FOOD-UTENSILS section
of the Florilegium:
mazers-msg (6K) 8/27/99 Medieval drinking bowls originally
of wood.
I think Admantius(?) was speaking in terms of a kitchen staff position,
though. I've not heard of this position before and would like to hear
about
this, too.
