""The "folded sleeve" Janissary hat has a special brass holder in the
""front for an elaborate plume or for a wooden spoon. Among the most
""respected members of a particular group of Janissaries were the two
""men who carried the HUGE bronze/copper cooking pot. They had a
""specific outfit so they were readily identified.

Wasn't there a rank of Janissary officer called a Corbasi (Soup
maker)?  Can anyone confirm this?
