This gives me a wicked notion for a two-course banquet, "Rich and Poor."  First
course to be the kinds of foods that only the rich could afford in period [now
common fare like Chicken and White Bread], and the second made up of 'poverty
fare,' say, lobster, potatoes and wild salad.  I need some more input on what
goes where, but this could be quite educational.
