> Does someone actually have a link to a depiction of Henry VIII holding food of any kind? I searched and cannot find a thing.

I’m fairly confident that the only contemporary illustration showing him with food is a drawing (sometimes incorrectly attributed to Holbein) which depicts him dining in his Presence Chamber. However I can’t find it reproduced anywhere on the Web. The details are too small for it to be clear what he is eating.
