That fucking sucked.
Louis XIV always dined alone by his self-dictated protocol. Even family members were excluded, and they would dine separately. Louis took a very modest breakfast, and his main meal was early afternoon after his main work of the day was completed. In the evenings there were parties that mostly included gambling at cards, where there would be a buffet. While Louis might have been served multiple courses he couldn't eat everything, and the remainder was consumed by members of the court or were sold. See "Daily Life at Versailles" by Jacques Levron.
