[Sca-cooks] French table Service and Web site

[pleves1]

>From what I see this is an overview of the culinary practices of the middle 
ages; it does seem to avoid the typical clichés and pitfalls. I haven't 
checked the recipe recreations. The section on table manners is actually from 
a 13th century Italian manuscript (so it's not French, sorry about that :-)) A 
few of the french articles in the bibliography look interesting, I'll have to 
check them out.
