In this revelatory work of social history, C. M. Woolgar shows that
food in late-medieval England was far more complex, varied, and
more culturally significant than we imagine today. Drawing on a
vast range of sources, he charts how emerging technologies as well
as an influx of new flavors and trends from abroad had an impact on
eating habits across the social spectrum. From the pauper's bowl to
elite tables, from early fad diets to the perceived moral
superiority of certain foods, and from regional folk remedies to
luxuries such as lampreys, Woolgar illuminates desire, necessity,
daily rituals, and pleasure across four centuries.
