There has been only one. But another is in the planning, this one 
16th c. Spanish. I don't know if it's for next year or the year 
after...

Because the first group cast their own spoons and a certain amount of 
the ceramic serving dishes, and dressed up the serving crew - there 
was about 1 server for every two diners - oh, yeah, not to mention 
building the high backed gothic style benches - it was a lot of work 
ahead of time.

But a truly memorable experience. They even had non-pork stuffed 
chicken for those of us with Muslim personas - and those who keep 
kinda kosher mundanely.
