my other class for the culinary symposium
My other class for the West Cost Culinary Symposium is going to be a panel discussion on the 1480's English Perfectly Period Feast we did a few years ago. It's going to be Sunday morning, and sadly against the chicken and gelatin classes, so please feel free to quietly drop in&out for a topic that particularly interests you. Topics (hopefully!) including: Roles in the Early Modern Feast hall, Spoons & material culture, Towels & napery, Bread & trenchers, Furniture, Table service & drinks, Hand washing & the Ewery, The next PPF (1580's Ferrara in the spring of 2012), plus a Q&A session.
