Andelbert Visits The Palace Kitchens
Baron Britpop Blastfurnace • Part 37
Andelbert Visits The Palace Kitchens
While I was making silent horseshoes for the King, Andelbert was getting a tour of the kitchens. He will tell this part of the tale.
I rose early and waited impatiently for Maria to arrive. At last, she knocked on my door.
“Are you ready for your tour Monsieur Blastfurnace?”
“Indeed. I am quite excited,” I replied.
“Very well, let’s begin. Follow me.”
We wound our way through the place and out into the courtyard.
“Are the kitchens not located in the palace?” I asked.
“Heavens no. The noise and smell would surely offend the courtier’s sensibilities.”
We reached the other side of the courtyard and entered a stately building. I was taken aback at what I saw. Many ovens and stoves lined the walls, and there were people everywhere preparing food.
“How many cooks are there?” I asked Maria.
