Daughter 13 has to write a menu for a Tudor banquet. I was thinking of quails, partridge, deer, marzipan etc. Any other ideas! Thanks for any suggestions, Selena |

They also had bustard which is a bird ( i think in Germany they are breeding them again), but these birds were very much on the tudor menu. |

Copied from the net after Googling MEAT for the wealthy families Rich people had a wide variety of meat and game including what they hunted:- deer, boar, rabbit, quail, bustard, curlew, plover, cormorant, badger, hedgehog, heron, crane, pheasant, woodcock, partridge, blackbirds (remember the blackbirds in the pie in the Nursery Rhyme?) etc. They also had meat from the animals they reared on their land:- beef, mutton, veal, lamb, kid, pork, rabbit (some landowners employed men called warrenders whose job it was to look after rabbit to supply rabbit for the table), chicken, duck, swan, peacock, goose, pigeon, doves etc. Gwyn |
