Actually, love, right there, you're showing me we do feel a file coming on,
maybe two or three ;-)

I'm not sure how much you have on each subject, but how about this as a
suggested dividing line:

Kitchen appliances (grills, stoves, ovens, spits, maybe for the time being
including field set ups, both military, and for travellers not in inns).

Pots and pans and the like, and perhaps cooking utensils.

Serving utensils and dishes, including, for example, that door we saw the
pic of, where they were presenting the entire boar.

Obviously, there'll be some overlap, since at least in the early MA, I doubt
the differentiated between the spoon used to stir the frumenty vs the spoon
used to serve it- I rather doubt they scooped hot frumenty out of the pot
with their hands, at least, not more than once ;-)

Thoughts?
