Ummm. While I understand the anger, let's consider that I don't think
we've heard what excuse the disappearing cook had. Perhaps there was
a reason for this disappearing act but I think it had better be a very
good one to excuse this. And good excuse or not, having no backup person
briefed and ready to go or at least organised paperwork with the needed
info so someone else could take over is egotistical and inexcusable.

As to the Gazpacho, I think we did have some reasonable evidence recently
that a version of Gazpacho was indeed period. See this file in the FOOD
section of the Florilegium:

and bread

This, I still definitely agree with. A wonderful job.
