I tried to find out if I was correct with the slice of bread bit,but I'm not sure now.
There is a word for a slice of loaf etc that was used as a plate in medieval times.

I thought you didn't give answers! LOL

i just found this

The term trencher comes from the Old French tranchier, which means to cut. During the Middle Ages a trencher was a hunk of old bread that was stale and hard enough to be cut into a rough square. This square of bread was used to serve food on instead of using a plate. At the end of the meal the trencher was frequently given as alms to the poor.
