[Sca-cooks] temperature of served period food

[Stefan li Rous]

Elric commented (tongue in cheek) about the effects of not having
Royalty around:

However, we have discussed just how hot much period food was, at
least that served in Great Halls. By the time you bring it in from
an outside kitchen, up one or more stairs, just how hot would it
still be? I'm not sure we ever came to a conclusive answer.

Even if you didn't have Royalty, you would still often have Barons and
Baronesses etc. So I'm not sure the lack of a King around effects
things that much.
