"And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day..." Nehemiah 10:31 AV I am out the door and on my way to diocesan convention. Won't be back until Sunday night. There will be several vendors there (including bibliopoles). One wonders if one will be able to buy some churchware, or clergyware, or something.

Founded in 1996 by L. Inneaus Quiche, PhD, of the Massachusetts Institute of Taxonomy, DELFT’s primary objective was to re-examine the existing classifications of thousands of food-related tools and correct any structural deficiencies within the classification process that could lead to culinary confusion. Between May of 1996 and December of 1998, the members of DELFT conducted an extensive examination of the existing classification structure and concluded that the structure was unable to describe any food-related tool above the level of Phylum, i.e., there was no term to describe the Kingdom to which the food-related tools belonged. After intense debate, DELFT members finally agreed on the word ‘foodware’ as being an acceptable term to describe the Kingdom of food-related tools. Shortly thereafter, DELFT released the following examples of taxonomical classification for food-related tools: Butter Knife Kingdom: Foodware Phylum: Dinnerware Class: Tableware Order: Flatware Family: Silverware Genus: Cultellus Species: dilitatus Sauce Pan Kingdom: Foodware Phylum: Kitchenware Class: cookware Order: Metal ware Family: Copperware Genus: Lebes Species: condimentus Salad bowl Kingdom: Foodware Phylum: Dinnerware Class: Tableware Order: Dishware Family: Ceramic ware Genus: Catinus Species: moretus Wine glass Kingdom: Foodware Phylum: Dinnerware Class: Tableware Order: Drink ware Family: Crystal ware Genus: Phiala Species: vinaria Don’t believe a word of it!

Actually, "delft" belongs to the Genus "Catinus" of the Kingdom "foodware". Dutch Village - Blue Delft Pottery "Our specialty is the typically-Dutch delft blue pottery, as we stock delftware from many companies, in many different qualities. We have articles that fit any budget, from souvenir-quality to Royal Delftware." http://www.bluedelft.com Personally, I think Dgeigh has done the world a service in bringing Genus to this neglected Order.
