A small kitchen building is therefore recreated at the intersection of this interior wall and the east bawn wall. A covered servants’ corridor runs between the kitchen and the Great Hall.</p> <p>It is almost certain that Kilcolman also had some form of kitchen garden for growing fruit, vegetables and herbs (see Bawn area: garden and Tower House Parlor: apples).</p> <p><em>Literary Connections</em></p> <p>Spenser’s House of Temperance, an allegory for the human body (see also Tower House Study: desk and Tower House Privy), has a huge kitchen, symbolizing the stomach:</p> <blockquote> <p>It was a vaut ybuilt for great dispence, <br />With many raunges reard along the wall; <br />And one great chimney, whose long tonnell thence, <br />The smoke forth threw. And in the midst of all <br />There placed was a caudron wide and tall, <br />Vpon a mightie fornace, burning whott, <br />More whott, then Aetn’, or flaming <em>Mongiball</em>: <br />For day and night it brent, ne ceased not, <br />So long as any thing it in the caudron got.</p> <p>But to delay the heat, least by mischaunce <br />It might breake out, and set the whole on fyre, <br />There added was by goodly ordinaunce, <br />An huge great payre of bellowes, which did styre <br />Continually, and cooling breath inspyre. <br />About the Caudron many Cookes accoyld, <br />With hookes and ladles, as need did requyre; <br />The whyles the viaundes in the vessel boyld <br />They did about their businesse sweat, and sorely toyld.
