April 5th is Easter Sunday, and it's the ideal excuse to bring out the banqueting furniture and have an 'Easter breakfast'.
The historic meaning of 'breakfast' is simply that - the breaking of a fast, whether that simply means the first meal of the day as we think of it in modern times, or the first meal of married life, a more archaic usage that is still widely known today too.
But an Easter breakfast can be a significant event too, following the dietary austerity of Lent, and it can be anything from a religious celebration, to an excuse to eat lots of chocolate.
In either case, banqueting furniture helps to set the scene for what should be a spectacle for those who attend, turning a fast into a feast as the dishes begin to arrive to the tables one by one.
Dishes that include the types of things people often give up for Lent are bound to be crowd-pleasers, so plenty of chocolate and other sweet treats, while as it's a Sunday a traditional roast dinner should also be considered.
One thing to keep in mind though is that many people's last 'naughty' pudding was probably pancakes, so steer clear of these as the first post-Lent indulgence, unless you are making a deliberate statement.
Eggs play a big role in Easter, and whether they are the chocolate variety or the real thing, they are perhaps the single main iconic food of the season.
Hot cross buns are more of a snack than part of a banquet, but you could find ways to incorporate them - perhaps a hot cross bun bread and butter pudding, a typical crowd-pleasing dessert that's easy to prepare in advance in bulk.
In Polish cuisine, Easter breakfast is a traditional meal in itself, consisting of cold-cuts of meat, smoked fish, marinated vegetables, bread and an Easter salad of peas, apple, carrot, parsley, chopped boiled eggs and mayonnaise, all served with chocolate cake and tea or coffee.
Depending on your local Eastern European population, you might even find this a further way to put your banqueting furniture to good use, and make the most of every meal opportunity the day has to offer.
