On the day, the cooks made up a lot of gravy with broth, and I had subcontracted to do peri-oid plumb pudding for a dessert. So I weighed in with twenty quarts of steamed pudding - let me tell you, that is a LOT of candied fruit to chop- and people ate a great deal more of it than they might have otherwise (it being a very rich, heavy dessert). Without that, a lot of people might not have been satisfied...<BR>
