Oh, wow. I didn't know that was something there was a name for in modern
food service. The jobs I was talking about just seemed like meta-jobs that
it would be good to get done by _someone_ when you have multiple cooks
using the same facilities.

So, what period titles do people know of (yes, I KNOW I can go look in
_Babee's book_ et al) for various food-related activities.

BTW, I was doing handwashing at an event this weekend that would
definitely have benefited from a Master of the Hall to make sure the
various cooks, servers, handwashers, etc. didn't get in each others' ways.
