BANQUETS

The Moghul Emperor, Akbar the Great, hosted lavish banquets befitting his royal status.  The chickens to be killed for the banquet were fed pistachio nuts for 6 to 8 weeks before the banquet, to add a delicious flavour to the chicken meat.
(from Newsletter Subscriber, Surekha Laxmann Gholap)

Heliogabalus was a Roman emperor (204-222 AD) who was known for his culinary excesses. For one banquet he had 600 ostrich brains prepared.
