There was, true, a lot of wheat-based stuff in that

(delicious-sounding!) menu, but I suspect the " granary " bread was

multi-grain, and I'm sure the scones were oatmeal-based. This is

Balmoral we're talking about, after all! Scots and oats go together

like... well, Scots and oats. ;-) I'm sure I could find plenty to

enjoy at that board.
