Yes we are talking about food once again but in different time periods and country. During the Tudor era, life was changing from Medieval to finding the New World, including food as well. One thing for sure, no such things as fridges and freezers existed. So food was mostly fresh. Another thing ; Peasants ate healthier than the Royals. Meats and anything in rich flavor, was expensive. Peasants would indulge themselves on vegetables and bread. Sometimes Ale at the pub as well. The "famous" Tudor Soup consisted of : cabbage, carrots, onions, turnips, leeks, and oats. Mixed and boil and then, you made yourself a Tudor Soup. Now for the people who had money, all sorts of animals were on the plate. Swan was popular for King Henry VIII, and rumor has it that he ate Swan on the day of Anne Boleyn's execution. Pastries with Meat, and other sweets were included to. Not to forget, lots of Ale. Meals in the Wealthy Class could go on for hours and hours. Easily 11 courses done a meal. Maybe or most likely, its one of the many reasons Henry VIII became obsessed. Just a thought ;)
Until Next Time!
