My wife has recently inherited a piece of furniture, of German origin (a
vitrine, or display cabinet, which hangs on the wall) which we believe
dates to the middle of the 18th century. That would place it ca.the end of
the baroque period.

She wants to celebrate with a baroque feast but we're not sure what the
menus were like in those days.

One suggestion is mock turtle soup. Anybody got a recipe for that (no
doubt it begins with, "First catch your mock turtleŠ") 

or any suggestions for anything else appropriate to the period?

Thanks in advance

Don
