I came across this series on YouTube and it does an awesome job of showing the food of the time. I never realized how heavy it was or how much alcohol was consumed! No wonder people felt better going to Bath and actually drinking water for a change!

How interesting!! I'll have to sit and watch these slowly as my son keeps yelling about more exciting things happen with Spongebob.
Still, I wonder if everyone ate this way. I could imagine some things but honestly if I ate like that now I'd feel awful! I wonder had I lived in that time would I have been a picky eater like I am now.
That Cheese on toast with the wine looked quite good though. I may have to try that...after baby arrives

No wonder people felt better going to Bath and actually drinking water for a change! Thanks! That's an interesting show (only half way through, again due to the demands of a small child). However, the water at Bath is laden with sulphur, and allegedly ( I didn't have the courage to try it) tastes awful! |

I wonder had I lived in that time would I have been a picky eater like I am now. It is a lot of calories, but if you consider a lack of central heating, and a lot more walking (unless you use a sedan chair too often), you would be burning a lot more than you do sitting in front of the computer in a climate controlled house. I do know when Lady Egg made an enormous raised pie ( goblinrevolution.org/cgi-bin/pic_frame.cgi?pic=meatpie/meatpie.1.jpg;list=indicies/pieparty.index;base=events) it was very tasty; but after the third day of having it for lunch, I would have killed for a green salad! |
