Feasting in antiquity ping.

It’s good to be king.

[Cowboy Bob]

Wow. He lived well when he was king? This news has come as quite a shock. I would have figured he’d eat nothing but Rahman noodle soup.

Until you get hacked to death. ;-)

People drank alcohol if they could because it was one of the only liquids that was “clean.”

Fricasseed egret is to die for...

[SamAdams76]

That looks like my kitchen, with the dog following us around looking for table scraps. Besides wine, the medieval people also had beer and mead

[Rodamala]

[   ] Good food.
[   ] Being English.

Pick one.

They also ate roasted peacock with the feathers on. I have a recipe somewhere.

This is semi-science. These are wild guesses to get some pop publicity and research grants. Scientists also like fame same as the Kardashians.

IOW take this with a grain of salt

“But according to new research, the King of England at least enjoyed some good eating throughout his life—especially in the few years leading up to his death.”

Before we start eatin’ we go through a long service.
Cut the brisket, then you start servin’.
Pour out the ‘schevitz and start slicky slicky slurpin’.
Slow down for me. You eatin’ too fast.
My fingers keep drippin’.
It goes straight to my azz.

Keep the gefilte fish.
I can’t stand it,
it’s soggy.
Somethin’ I despise,
I feed it to the doggy.

We seen the last of Good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King John

I eat egret without regret.

It’s good to be King... The one thing he sure wasn’t doing while being the leader of his country and a great deal of what was then the free world, was golfing every day.
