The Bride looks for a Dunnett link to Cordon Bleu

According to the Cordon Bleu entry in Wikipedia:

"The origin of the school comes from L'Ordre des Chevaliers du Saint Esprit, an elite group of French knights that was created in 1578. Each member was awarded the Cross of the Holy Spirit, which hung from a blue ribbon. According to one story, the group became known for their extravagant and luxurious banquets, known as "cordon bleu." While these dinners ended with the French Revolution, the name remained synonymous with excellent cooking.

At least that's one theory proposed. In 1578 - Lymond would have been.... what? in his 50's? Surely a Marshal of France, even one living in Scotland, would have been dined with them sometime.
