Mediaeval Spicer

The mediaeval spicer at the castle on Saturday was a mine of information. Amongst the more interesting tidbits of information were the fact the England had ravioli in the 14th century, and that there was no real concept of sweet/savoury. Photos, clockwise from top left: an ember day (no meat, no fish) meal with onions, milk, and currants; ravioli (in dish); a cone of sugar; mediaeval gingerbread; flatbreads cooked on an open fire with cheese.
