If you lived in Shakespeare's time, what would you take to a picnic dinner? *waits for Ren Faire geeks to do the research for her*

oooooh Turkey Legs! Yum.

(but, um, count me out for this. It's my least favorite Shakespeare play ... and I'm spending enough time at the cemetary this summer as it is.)

Disneyphile (or Frodo Potter, but he is scarce here lately) could answer this better than I, but basically meats, cheeses, breads and fruits would be considered "period"

Actually not considered "period"

Or even *local*, unless you were an early settler.

I guess I should chime in that I may be interested in this.

I am not in... far too much in July to even think about it.
Can you say Comic-con??

But let me just state for the record....

I love Hamlet, and I want to go!!!

<thank you>

Why would you want to eat authentic period food? Unless you were pretty well off, if you lived in the city you were eating stale, unhygienic foods that by today's standards were minimally spiced and utterly unappetizing.

innerSpaceman · 06-22-2007, 10:32 AM

Yeah, I know. That's why I loathed when they invaded the Faire.

Churro invasion was even worse.

Bring oranges for sure-- the whores in the audience at the original productions held them to identify their wares.

Heh.

We're so there. Directed this one in college (hence the screen name, actually)

They served potatoes at Medieval Times. POTATOES!

Wow, they had Taco Bell back then?
