Today in class we tried lots of different meats that would have been eaten by noble men and woman living in castles 500 years ago. We tried rabbit, hare, pheasant, pigeon and deer.
We made flat breads using Jamie Oliver’s recipe…
although perhaps a little less salt!
Traditionally flat breads would have been used like a plate except this one could soak up your gravy and you could eat it.
We also tried some fruit chutneys unbelievably these were not as popular as the meats!
Most of the pupils tried out the now rarely eaten foods – pigeon was found to be the favourite.
A big thank you to Mr McKeown for providing the meat for our tasty castle banquet!
