[Sca-cooks] Henry VIII was Alton Brown in a Tunic?

[johnna holloway]

Well, obviously when England left the Roman Catholic Church behind, all
the people except the nobility quit eating wafers.
Wouldn't that explain the wafers?
Maids of Honor and the Carvery I think were commercial aspects for the
marketing people. Here get a wedding cake done like the Queen's, eat
like they did then, dine in Richmond on Henry's tarts. Gee that last bit
sounded funny didn't it.
Personally I would have liked a behind the scenes show with Peter Brears
and his Christmas dinners. I even don't care that much if it was a
medieval one. It could be Georgian or Victorian. It would still be
great.
