For me, its the Turkey Leg thing. Turkeys are new world.
I guess also in passing is the concept that medieval people were stupid
barbarians. They had rules for eating and good conduct that would make Miss
Manners seem a simpleton. They may not be the same palate, conceptual framework,
or etiquite that we hold today, but it was very "well thought out" and complex by
their knowledge beliefs and culture.
nice topic, btw!
