Overview

In 18th Century England, seasoned cook, Ludmilla, labors passionately to prepare a bountiful feast for her mistress, Lady Sigrid. All appears exceptional and delectable until Lady Sigrid enters the kitchen in fierce exasperation. Lady Sigrid accuses Ludmilla of preparing the wrong main course: a roast hog instead of a roast swan. Before Ludmilla is able to explain herself, Lady Sigrid begins to berate Ludmilla, assaulting her with words and then food until finally the cook reaches her breaking point and returns blow for blow in a violent clash of fists and fine cuisine.
