Well, I know that.  And one heck of a shipwright.  :-)

However, issues of Andrea's sanity aside, it's possible that these 
particular sideboards were for smaller, local events.  Even crazy people 
can be limited in their excesses by kitchen resources and food budgets.  
So I'm curious about numbers of people being fed, partly for practical 
reasons.  If she did make stuffed eggs or cheese tarts for 400, I'd like 
to know more about how she managed it.
