>There are a few interesting tidbits in John Russell's Boke of Nurture &
>Wynkyn de Worde's "The Boke of Keruynge" (Babees Book, pp. 147-8, 273)
>regarding the serving of pies such as custards & doucetes.  The proper way
>to serve custards is to cut them "chekkid buche", or "cheke them inche
>square", in other words, into 1-inch squares.  For Doucetes, "pare awaye
>the sydes & the bottom", or "pare awey the sides to [th]e botom"; in other
>words, take a sharp knife & run it around the inside edge of the pie crust
>& remove the ring of crust.
