LOL I could just see Anne eating Hot Dogs or Pizza, whilst sat in front of the tele watching one of the awful soap operas.
Although I wonder if she could get to grips with one of Dinosaur’s chineses. I got to admit they are pretty damn good.

Probably should would have loved my favourite food STEAK!
Meat was such a huge part of the Tudor diet that probably she would have been happiest eating a big juicy steak, like me…..sorry for the veggies

OR she could be sick of all that meat?

I don’t think Henry would have allowed himself to have been roasted over an open fire. Oops, sorry, you meant a real pig. It’s just so hard to tell the difference between Henry and a pig.

Royalty ate A LOT of meat. Vegetables were for the lower class, hence why the poor were generally healthier lol! The meat was often pickled or salted to preserve it, so spices and sauces were added to hide the taste. Bread was another staple for all, although it was sweeter much than it is today. They ate some fruit, and sugared subtleties (Sweets) but scurvy was common in the nobility. There were no potatoes in England! They were not introduced into Britain until 1585. They also ate flowers, such as violet and marigold. Puddings, pastries and biscuits were popular, as was sweetmeats such as marzipan. Sugar was added to most meals and the ale/wine they drank. Rotten teeth was a sign of nobility as sugar was too expensive for the lower classes, who used honey as a substitute. Fruit was added to most dishes too, but always cooked as doctors believed raw fruit would make you ill.

The meat they ate was anything they could hunt or rear so – deer, boar, rabbit, quail, bustard, curlew, plover, cormorant, badger, hedgehog, heron, crane, pheasant, woodc*ck, partridge, blackbirds, beef, mutton, veal, lamb, kid, pork, rabbit, chicken, duck, swan, peac*ck, goose, pigeon, doves etc. Bread for the nobility was called Manchet, which was a very fine white bread made from wheat flour with a little bran and wheat germ added. Common fruits eaten were apples, pears, cherries, damsons, plums, strawberries and gooseberries. Apples were always mashed in a mortar. Oranges and apricots were expensive to import and only available to the upper classes. Tomatoes were called ‘apples of love’.

Water was not drunk as it was too polluted!

Then I could see Anne just chowing down on meat and fruits.

We all know that Anne was fond of apples. Oranges were know in this country as we know. but what about fruit like Pineapple, Bananas. Payaya, Mangos, Starfruit, Kiwi, Coconuts etc.

I wonder how Henry would have viewed it? Would he take the hump and get upset because the banana was bigger than his..LOL

hahhahaha! LOL Boleyn! wow.

Juliane, I can a bucket now too.
