The Banquet

Scholar Ken Albala feasts on the great court banquets of the Renaissance. In The Banquet, he describes this lavish, medieval dining event as a multi-media experience. The scalco (banquet manager), spenditore (buyer), dispensiero (the man in charge of keeping provisions under lock and key) and trinciante (carver) played major roles in preparing the banquets.
