And I can't imagine one 18thc size chicken would go far at a dinner party - looks like they're filling up with bread!
The TV food programme I mentioned earlier had a good bit when they cooked a meal out of a 1660' Restoration era Royalist 'joke' cookbook called something like 'Mrs. Cromwell's cookbook': the aristocrat meals the presenters ate for the rest of the programme were all meat and stodge - the Puritan meal actually had vegetables and was the only meal the presenters enjoyed! Everything else - especially the 'Prince Regent's breakfast' in one episode (more meat than most people would see in a month)- looked lethal.
