[Sca-cooks] Seeking source of vaguely remembered quotation...

[Phil Troy / G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Hullo, the list!

Somewhere in the back of my senility-riddled brain I'm remembering a quote from a medieval text, possibly a play or other satirical piece, or maybe just a letter that has survived.

In it, the author speaks of the luxurious nature of seafood and freshwater fish shipped in vivaria, imported from various coastal towns on ice, etc., and the wines to go with them, and concludes that he cannot afford the austerity of Lent.

Is this ringing a bell for anybody? Info, please, if any...

Many thanks!

Adamantius
