Obviously thou hast not read sufficient "Adventures of Robin Hood in Days of Olde" and such period tales. Any medieval banquet scene will likely suffice. Then thou wouldst be well-acquainted with "viand".
Benefits of reading Shakespeare: knowing the meaning of viands.
Always interesting to discover what words other people don't know that I tend to forget aren't actually common any more. (I am also guilty of reading Austen and Dickens, as well as Shakespeare, for pleasure and for having spent my lifetime (over half a century now!) enjoying reading the dictionary in idle moments.)
I just realised that Ralph, second count of Lovelace, was the son of Ada, exceptional woman and first human to have conceived and made computer programation. Ralph was aged 13 when his remarquable mother died.
Mary was his second wife, and their only child was named Ada.
What ho!

Thanks for the fine work!
