They had a cook with them who stood alone

For boiling chicken with a marrow-bone,

Sharp flavouring powder and a spice for savour.

He could distinguish London ale by flavour,

And he could roast and boil and seethe and fry,

Make good thick soup and bake a tasty pie...

As for blancmange, he made it with the best.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?-1400?)
