That's true.

One of my best 'oh my god, this is what doing this job in period would be
like' moments was when a Count of the East invaded the kitchen during
Coronation feast, demanding that we put samples of each of the sauces for
high table in his new three-part period sauce-serving container so that he
might use it to wait upon the king.

The rest of the kitchen staff were appalled and shocked; after he left, I
sat down and the floor and howled with laughter at the utter periodness of
it.
