Boar's Head Special Chief among Christmas dishes in the baronial hall was the boar's head which was brought into the vaulted refectory with trumpets, pomp and panoply. It lay in a gold and silver salver according to the richness of the feudal lord. Epi cures insisted that it be served with "roguish mustard" and with choice wines. Rut fllllnnrv ahtlltv nra. .... .

I Mince and Mutton The mince pie (chief among the ! causes of childish Christmas an- I guish) was known as mutton pie i as early as 1596. The mutton pie I graduated into a pie of neats' tongues, spiced and flavored, j whence finally emerged the mince I pie as it is known today. But the progenitor of the pride and glory of Christmas dinner i made famous by the prose of ' Washington Irving and Dickens I was the plum pudding which, like ! many Christmas edibles, was sub- iect to progressive treatment as time marched on. First reference ! is made to it as plum porridge or ; pottage and unlike its heavy de scendant, it was served as the first I course. Liquid refreshment in th earlv days ran the whole gamut of the wine lists different vintages for each course, heavy stouts, light barley ales, to say nothing of the cordials offered unblushingly as gastronomic aids than for enjoy ment of drinking. A' thirteenth century carollst devoted a ballad to the bibulous tendencies. He sang: , "Lording, Christmas loves good drinking "Wines of Cascoigne, France, Aniou "English ale that drowns out thinking "Prince of liquors, old and new "Every neighbor shares the bowl "Drinks of the spicy liquor deeD "Drinks his fill without control "Till he drowns his care in sleep."
