In relation to various medieval re-enactment groups and other references...
Was just reading an Early Victorian Cook book and the removing of food reminded me of a few medieval re-enactment type groups... Mostly, we are removed from the equating of "remove" with "course" but not always as it lingers on...
Courses are presented, dishes are "removed" with another to take it's place. A dish removed by another may happen within a course.
Though, if a whole course were presented and then taken away to be replaced with another, it could be considered a "remove" but then it would only be one long drawn out, and very weird, course... and I'm not sure if that would be the case...
Yes, I know "course" does not sound nearly as "exotic" or "antiquated" to us modern diners but just because a word does sound that way does not mean that it is the correct word.
Yes, this has been visited and revisited and visited again... yet it remains a rather elusive word
