Yummee! Breakfast.
Now what's for lunch? ::) ;)
The meal is interesting for the middle ages nobility - usually they didn't touch vegetables because that was what peasants ate. Maybe they were more enlightened in Ferrara?
Think they had a basic understanding that veggies fought scurvy.
Scurvy is simply a lack of vitamin C in the diet. Although it was the scourge of sailors, an effort was made to get fresh vegetables during the seventeenth centuries French Wars.
When Anson crossed the Pacifc, he lost something like 1,000 sailors, but only thirty to enemy action.

that actually sounds kinda good.
