No.

It already exists. :-)

Check these files in the FOOD-UTENSILS section. But no pictures.
utensils-msg     (132K)  5/11/00    Utensils, plates, trenchers, cast
iron pots.
  And I've got a bunch more stuff to add to it when I find the time.
Since it
is already over 100K, I will probably need to calve off something though.

I think this file in the FOOD section also has some info on gridirons:
steaks-msg        (16K)  2/ 8/00    Period grilled steaks. Descriptions.
