What It's Like Dining Like a Noble in Feudal Europe: "Cutlery? No thanks, just a knife for me." "Who needs plates when you have bread? Thank God for trenchers." "We're having about 20 guests so 5 trenchers and 2 cups will do. " "Wow, good thing I restocked the spice cabinet or else I wouldn't be able to experience this heaven of spice." "Chamomilllleeeee. GOOOLLDD. Yummmmm." "Apple cider or grape wine?" "I should probably gift this deer to the neighbor. We've been getting along so well! A token of our good relationship!" "This swan was so nicely seasoned." "WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH FOOD?? Darn, I'm going to end up finishing all this today." "Dang, I bet the king's enjoying his whale right about now... while I'm stuck with this lame lobster. Life is hard." "Do we eat everything? I don't think we eat everything. Well, now I'm having second thoughts. Hmm, beavers, swans, eagles, eels... But those are all pretty common..." "Should I hunt game today? But there's already beef, pork, mutton, and lamb here." "Put chamomile in that."
