[Sca-cooks] Remove was Performer's Symposium Feast Post mortem

[Nancy Kiel]

Actually, in Eliza Smith's The Complete Housewife of 1758, her menu plans
show a tureen of soup being served in the first course, which is then
removed and replaced with a meat dish.  Usually only one dish is "removed,"
and another course is considered another course.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.
