      Butter was indeed around for many centuries, but it was not considered viable. Milk - was either drunk fresh (and pretty durned quickly!) or made into cheese which of course lasts much longer. Butter turned rancid quickly, without being kept very cool. Fats used were either olive oils, pork or beef lard, etc.

      Patrick Kelly cork came from the americas so it was not in common use as a stopper on wine until after the seventeenth century as wine was stored in casks and drunk green that is also why champagne became famous after the sixteenth century due to the cork and wire mechanism.But again to reiterate the cork came from the Americans and it like the potato took its time in being used for alcohol.

    Forks weren’t used at this time in fact when Louis 16 dauphin tried to use one at dinner,Louis grabbed him and slapped him in front of court also all foods and desserts were placed on the table and everyone reached for what they wanted it is called a la francaise the modern method where you serve yourself from a presented plate is called a la russe and did not come in use until the 19th century; as to court food being sold it was often a perk included with the position of high noble servants to sell the unused food down the way,the used food sold to the poorest.Look up the Dutch plot planting methods of the 17th century and Louis 16 promoted the use of the potato and even had contests held to promote new methods of cooking the potato but the French peasant refused to try or to eat it therefore they starved and blamed the king Louis even though to promote the potato he had it served on the royal table every night but the peasants refused and preferred to starve such is stupidity and he even promoted potato bread.k

    Its a bit haunting, looking back at these primitive civilizations compared to our own, I begin to notice how far we've fallen from nobility. I feel as a society that we are turning backwards, maybe its just that point in an aging empire of modernity.

      In a way, we are. People today, haven't got time. That is, to do othyer than watch a hand-held screen. Food today is powder mixed with water, and heated. Or buy a prepared meal, and nuke it. Buy some junk-food, and eat on the go.
      Real food should be prepared with love and passion. Making a sauce or a soup from scratch, doesn't take more time
      than mixing powder and water. And you know what's in it.....

    I just learned that beauty marks were placed to distract from less attractive parts of the face or body, such a pock mark that powder couldn't cover up, if it was extreme on the right face you'd put the mark on your left, if your neck was scarred you'd put it on your breast

      It is no different today. For example: when you watch stand-up "comedy" by Amy Shumer, the camera will often pan in to the tip of her shoes, pan the audience or rest on something standing near-by... flower pots, the entrance door, well, anything really...
