Poultry (office)
Medieval profession
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What it was
It was headed by a poulter or poulterer (though this last term is more often for a merchant who deals in poultry).[1] The office was subordinated to the kitchen, and only existed as a separate office in larger households. It was closely connected with other offices of the kitchen, such as the larder and the saucery.[2]
Use today
This use of the word is largely obsolete today.
