Thank you! That’s very interesting—and quite appropriate, given the circumstances!

I suspect that Alice French’s ‘White Chassellars’ was served in glasses rather than in fruit bowls at this particular meal . . .

It is a lot for one meal, by our standards. But can’t you just imagine the leftovers? Beats a turkey sandwich all hollow, doesn’t it?
