[Sca-cooks] Hampton Court is Looking for Suggestions

[Elaine Koogler]

Actually, I'd love to see some Festival dishes, perhaps ones that were done
for special events like Coronations, etc.  It might also be interesting to
see the service of a meal.  I've read descriptions about who ate where at
Hampton Court, but there's not so much about how the actual service was
done...I'd love to see something like that.
