Show Lavish Feast At Christmas, in the year 1492, when Columbus was spending his day in the New World, King Henry VII gave one of his most sumptuous sump-tuous feasts. The King (1485-1509), the Queen and members of the court dined on no less than 120 different dishes . . . with peacock as its climax! He observed holiday hol-iday customs lavishly, to say the least, serving among the many delicacies a popular pop-ular dish called "frumenty," made by adding sugar and spices to boiling hulled wheat. |
