SC - Chemical heating?

[CBlackwill@aol.com]

I'm working on a class about period breakfasts, and found this quote in
the Florilegium.  I wondered if there were any ideas about what some of
the items contained in this list might be. 
Christianna

payne demayne
one messe of kychyn grosse
fruter and the waferer - fruit and wafers? (waffles with marmelade?)

Quote taken from the _Liber Niger_ of Edward IV (in Bibl. Harl. No. 642,
fol. 1-196) as found in _A Collection of Ordinances and Regulations for
the Government of the Royal Household, Made in Divers Reigns, From King
Edward III. to King William and Queen Mary; Also Recepts in Ancient
Cookery._ London (Society of Antiquaries), 1790.
(Commonly referred to as _Household Ordinances_) on page 27: 

"...THE KYNG for his brekefast, two looves made into four manchetts, and
ii payne demayne, one messe of kychyn grosse, dim' gallon of ale. Item,
at none for his bourde sitting allone, viii loves, with the trenchers;
his servyce of the kychyn cannot be expresses at certeyn but the noble
Edward the Third, in comune dayes seryall, beying no prees of lordes or
straungers at his bourde, was served with viii diverse dissches; and his
lordes in hall and chamber with v, his gentylmen in court with iii
dissches, besides porage; and groomes and others with ii disshes diverse.
Then the Kinges meate, two pitchers and dim' wine, ii gallons ale. Item,
for his souper by hymeslf, viii loves, with the trenchers...,ii pitchers
wyne, ii gallons ale, besides the fruter and the waferer.
