[Sca-cooks] Royal Dining Lecture

[Johnna Holloway]

But the description is wrong--

"This lecture will consider the diets of monarchs from Richard II to Elizabeth II. She will reveal the exotic beasts served at medieval  courts; the 48-day picnic prepared for Henry VIII and François I of France at the Field of Cloth of Gold;"

The Field of Cloth of Gold lasted June 7-24 which isn't 48 days. It also wasn't a picnic.

The book At the King's Table: Royal Dining Through the Ages
 is due out 15 October.
