[Sca-cooks] Feast menus

[Bill Fisher]

I just realized I have a fascimile copy of William Rabisha's

_The Whole Body of Cookery Dissected_

The printing is the 1682 Calvert and Simpson edition.  The original edtion
was 1661.  Only 60 years OOP but I just stumbled on it when unpacking 
a box of books (in preparation for their new home, a bookshelf).

It has a fest menu listed in it supposedly dated from the 1400's - with servants
list and seating arrangements.  It also has some course listings for
some religious holiday feasts "Feast of St John the Baptist" etc.


Anyone intersted?  I belive I bought it from the Poison Pen Press ;-) 
Just found their
card in it so I know I did (plug).

(speaking of that, has anyone claimed that book that was ordered in ;-) )
