Indeed, in a society where women were largely kept behind closed quarters, this would have been rather scandalous. The present dish therefore, may be depicting a drinking contest with courtesans. One of the most important locations where courtesans made their mark as talented and amusing companions was in the setting of gardens; in these beautiful, rustic, and artistic sites people congregated to enjoy leisure pursuits in the open air. Here courtesans met their patrons to enjoy intense cultural exchanges on poetry, singing and drinking.
