The Franklin in The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story

One of the most important obligations of this social role is to provide generous hospitality, and nobody fulfills this role better than the Franklin. He keeps his pantry well-stocked with food and wine, and woe be a cook of his who is not ready to provide a delightful meal on a moment's notice! With so much food does he shower his guests that it seemed that "it snewed in his hous of mete and drynke" (General Prologue 347).
