Old Sturbridge Village talks Thanksgiving. 1830s
Old Sturbridge Village talks Thanksgiving. 1830s
Im working on my interactive novel/game, and coming to the realization that as a modern american with no real historical food knowledge, my perspective on foods is a bit limited.
Does anyone have some suggestions for foods that might be good for a 1910s-1930s(ish) passenger liner to serve for for afternoon and evening meals?
They don't need to be strictly historically accurate, I'm just trying to pad out my "onboard menu" a bit.
One for the culinary historians:
Alfonso Ceccarelli’s book on truffles, 'Opusculum de tuberibus' was printed on this day in 1564.

#Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
From MS Ashmole 48.
A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.

For anyone who feels that they've eaten too much, here is a
Carol for #ChristmasDay at Night: An anonymous 17thC #ballad carol describing many of the foods eaten at Christmas.
From New #Christmas #Carols, 1662.
In common with many #broadsideballads, this carol appear with lyrics but no music. Instead, instructions are given for the choice of melody - in this case, the popular tune, #Greensleeves.
