Ending Our Study of the Middle Ages with a Medieval Feast


The tables were set with trenchers, wooden spoons and finger bowls. This was the high table for the King and Queen.

The rest ate at the regular table, by beeswax candles.


The menu consisted of beef stew (without New World potatoes -turnips instead), spinach and cheese pies, pureed leeks and leeks and cheese, smoked turkey legs, bread, apple cider and red wine to drink.







The kids really loved it when we said they could throw their turkey bones on the floor for the (invisible) dogs.


You see, we had prepared the floor for this by covering it with plastic tablecloths.


After knighting some boys and some play sword fighting, which burned off some of the dinner, there was room for dessert, which was apple crisp.

Another idea for an activity at a Medieval Feast would be to have a Coronation like at Cultivated Lives. Another Medieval Feast at Beyond.
