It's good to be King.
I don’t like marzipan-and the black pudding doesn’t sound appetizing-but I’d choose any of those banquet items over a fast food burger, KFC, mac-and-cheese, etc-at least the banquet food is organic, unprocessed and fresh-just add some steamed veggies and/or a salad and I’ll be there...
I like cookbooks, and have several-one was a present from my mom-”Cooking Through the Ages”-it has recipes back to the time of the Roman Empire-like honeyed dormice-gah! Some of the food prep instructions are interesting, too-like take chickens and ram them together, hew them to gobbets, etc...
