No, no, no. I’m not surprised if Henry VII was dumb enough not to like salad and pass it on to his silly son but Richard the Third certainly knew salad and enjoyed it. We have his coronation program that lays it all out. It’s ridiculous to think that the medieval kings did not know salad. I guess I’m going to have to put up recipes from the time to disabuse people of this silly stuff.

P.S.: I don’t believe that Katherine introduced Henry to “salad.” It was widely used in England at the time.
