The Silver Chalice (1954)
George Baxter: Master of Court Ceremonies
Quotes
-
Master of Court Ceremonies : If it please you, Caesar. Roast peacock from the Land of Egypt. Wild boar from Caesar's preserves in Dalmatia. Succulent dormice, saturated with poppy juice. Oysters, surrounded by Damson plums, sprinkled with cumin and benzoin root. Sausage, stuffed with golden plover's eggs and the breast of pheasant. Aged grasshoppers, fried in honey to a light golden brown. Eggs, made of crushed pearls colored to a golden hue and filled with yolks - in which we've nestled fat little ortolans roasted to a turn.
