"I finally got through that banquet, attending a few more would definitely have driven me crazy." At the last buffet of this plan, Leonard raised his wine glass and complained to Joan.
Unlike the previous ones, this gathering was not held in a private residence but in a hotel banquet hall, and the invitees were from all walks of life. In addition to nobles and wealthy people, there were also some stars and artists.
Such a banquet was much better than the kind that took place in a noble's house, as those parties often had to follow some ancient customs.
To give a simple example, many nobles had their fixed menus for important holidays, and that was why Leonard and others ended up eating black pudding and Haggis.
These strange things appeared at a noble's banquet and were a characteristic of their family gatherings, even if no one ate them, they had to be served.
