Description
New light is shed on everyday life in the Middle Ages in Great Britain and continental Europe through this unique survey of its food culture. Food was a status symbol then, and sumptuary laws defined what a person of a certain class could eat–the ingredients and preparation of a dish and how it was eaten depended on a person’s status, and most information is available on the upper crust rather than the masses.
