[Sca-cooks] tart crusts

[Nancy Kiel]

I have a book on Breugel that has slightly larger images of the painting,
and they definitely appear to be bowls, from the way the man is holding them
and also some people sitting further down the table appear to be spooning
something out of similar bowls.  I also have a Dutch painting by Clara
Peeters, approx. 1612, showing a tart with a fluted crust, and The Land of
Cockaigne by Breugel, ca 1567, shows a tart with fluted crust just visible
under the bransh of the tree.
