Another file, which I didn't think of in my other message, is this  
one in the FEASTS section:

Oooh. I like the idea of having an assortment of different breads.  
While I imagine the idea of having different quality breads at the  
same feasts is probably period, I don't imagine providing them to  
everyone as a variety is. Of course, if someone wants to do it by  
rank and give me the rougher, whole wheat bread and the head table  
the fine, white bread (ie: "Wonder Bread"), I wouldn't complain. :-)
