Peacock pie, gumballs and cheese wigs

The Detroit Institute of Arts has this movie of an eighteenth-century French meal prepared using the silver serving dishes and china on display in the room, and they project it onto a white table where you can pull up a Louis XVI chair and pretend you're dining with the creepy French guys talking as the servants set out the food. It's almost as boring as the scenes in Dangerous Liaisons without boobs.
