"Capons, hens, beside turkeys, geese, and ducks, beside beef and mutton must all die for the great feast; for in twelve days a multitude of people will not be fed with a little! Now plums, and spice, sugar and honey, square it among pies and broth...Youth must dance and sing and the aged sit...and if the cook do not lack wit, he will sweetly lick his fingers..."
Hello and welcome back to another archaeogastronomical adventure!
Christmas time in nearly upon us!
And what better way to start the celebrations, other than an episode about the Christmas food traditions of the Tudor era?
We are not quite in modern times yet, we are short of out of the Medieval time, the world is expanding with Europeans travelling East- West and South all over the Atlantic in the Americas and bringing back strange new foods!
So what did the English eat then and how the common folk and aristocracy celebrated during these troublesome times?
For this reason I invited back Tudor food expert Brigitte Webster to tell us all about the food of the Tudor Christmas Table!
You can get Brigitte's fantastic book here:

Enjoy!
