English sources record that 250,000 fish, 98,000 eggs, 2,000 sheep, 700 conger eels, 13 swans, 3 porpoises and 66,000 liters of beer was served. Contemporary critics like Bishop Fisher saw the Field of the Cloth of Gold as a lavish but politically fleeting spectacle, while French accounts framed it as a demonstration of Francis I's personal bravery and diplomatic skill.

This was a lot of my degree. We licked everything. Still do.

Mouthfeel is an incredible sense. Babies learn what the world is by pushing handfuls of it into their mouths. Texture, taste, angularity, porosity, density, degree of lithificaton.... instantly.

*edit: we did not all lick things. There are two distinct schools of thought, and not a lot of fence sitters.

Not directly! I was looking for the name of a tool to measure interior angles of things, and found a hand tool rabbit hole. Which brought me to Australia.
