Your review is interesting! I found that the quality of pottage are different from each positions and VIP used wine in pottage after I read your review. I am so surprised the latter. I realize that there is a situation the level of food varies from status both in the past Japan and In Tudor England because I'm reading a book related to rice and I learned the situation.
