Re: I had a real difficulty picking this particular one out...


Ah! Gotcha. V. tricky, I wouldn't have thought of that (clearly!).. Thank you!

It's funny how words move back and forth... in the SCA, people want to use the word "remove" to indicate a course at dinner, because it feels older, but it turns out that the word "remove" in that context is a Victorian innovation, and when medieval people wanted to indicate the bringing on of a dish during a feast they used the word...

"course." :)

Thanks muchly..
