Did you ever wonder what the Tudors ate and drank? What was
Elizabeth I's first meal after the defeat of the Spanish Armada?
Which pies did Henry VIII gorge on to go from a 32 to a 54-inch
waist? The Tudor Kitchen provides a new history of the Tudor
kitchen, and over 500 sumptuous - and more everyday - recipes
enjoyed by rich and poor, all taken from authentic contemporary
sources. The kitchens of the Tudor palaces were equipped to feed a
small army of courtiers, visiting dignitaries and various
hangers-on of the aristocracy. Tudor court food purchases in just
one year were no fewer than 8,200 sheep, 2,330 deer and 53 wild
boar, plus countless birds such as swan (and cygnet), peacock,
heron, capon, teal, gull and shoveler. Tudor feasting was
legendary; Henry VIII even managed to impress the French at the
Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520 with a twelve-foot marble and
gold leaf fountain dispensing claret and white wine into silver
cups, free for all!
