Product Description
Food in Anglo-Saxon England tells the story of what people ate and drank in England before the changes that have made our diet so sophisticated, varied, and paradoxically, homogeneous. Only very high-value goods such as spices and wine were imported into England at this time, so people were dependent upon native foods. This extensively illustrated book paints a vivid picture of the Anglo-Saxon diet, and includes recipes and a reconstruction of a typical Anglo-Saxon meal.
Reader Reviews
If you want a short introduction to Anglo-Saxon food, this is it. It is a shorter and lighter read than Ann Hagen's excellent two-volume set, and of course also less detailed, but similar in intent and nature. Banham bases her findings in part on Hagen's work, and on the Monasteriales Indicia (which she has also written about), as well as archeological and linguistic evidence.
