There may well be an illumination of a feast that shows mortrewes being 
served, except there usually aren't captions detailling what the dishes on 
the table are.  Frequently we see dishes full of "something" being presented 
with great ceremony, and diners, holding chunks of "something else", digging 
right in.  It's often anybody's guess what these items are.  But I'll keep 
looking.
