You Are What You Eat

If you are to be installed as the Archbishop of York, well, you know you gotta throw a party.

And while this is not likely to happen to me, it might happen to YOU.

So I now present the grocery list from George Neville's installation in 1465:

Amongst many other items, there were -

1,000 sheep, 7,000 capons, 1,000 egrets, 400 peacocks and 103 cold venison pasties.

All together there were 42,833 items of meat and poultry served, with a dozen porpoises and seals thrown in to prevent palate fatigue.

Start cooking now.
