The Middle Ages have long fascinated the imagination, with tales of brave knights, fearless kings and fire-breathing dragons. The feasts of these adventurous times were fanciful events where dinner guests ate concoctions like roast peacock on bread platters, tiny meatballs shaped like little pears, huge savory pies with animal claws poking out, and baked dough “fountains” flowing with spiced wine and were entertained by minstrels between courses. This amusing lecture recreates the splendor of medieval feasts and includes a handout of delicious medieval recipes.
