Shakespeare in the Cemetery - HAMLET - Fri & Sun, 6/22-7/29

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.
