[Sca-cooks] German Feast Formats

[Elaine Koogler]

I would be interested in this information as well. I am looking at doing 
a series of menus from different time periods and places...and Germany 
was one I wanted to do. I have both Sabrina Welserin and the other 
translated German cookbook (can't remember the name of it off the top of 
my head), but have little other than what shows up in things like the 
Cambridge Encyclopedia and the Flanderin book about the history...and 
nothing about feasts and how they were served.
