"Master Leonardo da Vinci?s kitchen is a bedlam..." from a letter
written Sabba da Castiglione. Frankly, "bedlam" is an understatement.

How about at the next feast we take a page out of Sforza's book by
?tethering beribboned rabbits to the chairs of his table guests, that
they may wipe their grease-ridden hands on the beast?s backs" ? Some
protocol hints from the da Vinci as well, including that a guest
should "not place unpleasing or half-chewed pieces of his own food
upon his neighbor?s plate without first asking him", and how best to
arrange seating if an assassination is planned.
