SC - Period French Toast Recipies

[Huette von Ahrens]

Cariadoc,

What a wonderful idea!  I would be astounded if royalty took notice of
something I had done in that manner.

Have suitable period nibbles available to give to people who are
visiting the royalty. Hospitality was an important period virtue, and
it is an opportunity to expose people to period cooking.

A different suggestion, not culinary but to do with royalty at feasts:

In my experience, places at high table are usually allocated to the
highest ranking people around. This is a mistake. From the standpoint
of the senior duke in the room, being at high table isn't a
particular honor, and he would probably prefer to eat with his
friends. From the standpoint of a relatively new person, it is a
stunning honor.

The policy I recommend is to keep a couple of places at high table
open. At some point during the event, someone you don't know will do
something that impresses you--fight beautifully even though he is
relatively new, go to a lot of trouble to help other people, tell a
moving period story, turn out to be a blacksmith who makes beautiful
period cooking equipment, ...  . Invite him and his lady (or her and
her lord) to join you at high table.
