  • Shakespearean Recipes
    ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:1 January 2019 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ==================================================================== Shakespearean Recipes J. Gangapriyadarshini, Research Scholar ========================================================== Introduction The Elizabethans had three main meals a day like us. Breakfast was eaten earlier in the morning, usually between 6 to 7, dinner at midday, and supper between 5 to 8 evening. The kinds of food eaten depended very much on wealth and status. Poor people, in general, had humble and unvaried diets, whereas the rich of Elizabethan England ate well and enjoyed all kinds of meat, including beef, pork, lamb, mutton, bacon, veal, and deer, and fancy fowl such as peacock, swan, and goose. Their diet also included freshwater and sea fish, which included the varieties such as salmon, trout, eel, pike, and sturgeon, and shellfish such as crabs, lobsters, oysters, cockels and mussels. For the poor, bread was the ideal food and it would be eaten with butter, cheese, eggs, and pottage. Poor people could not afford much red meat, like beef or pork, so tended to eat white meat, like chicken, rabbit or hare, and birds they could catch like blackbirds or pigeons. As Queen Elizabeth made a law in 1563 that compelled everyone to eat fish on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, hence the poor also regularly ate fish. This law was made to support the fishing industry. Popular Recipes of Shakespearean Age As water was considered unsafe to drink, the Elizabethans drank ale instead. Even children drank ale as it was not very strong.

  • Activity and Game Ideas: 11Th June
    Activity and game ideas: 11th June Fruit recipes: Mmm! There are lots of yummy fruits around at this time of year. Depending on what you have in your house, or what your grown up wants to get – what could you make with your fruits??? A pie maybe, or a crumble or a muffin, or a baked apple? Or, if you don’t want to cook: a smoothie or banana split or a fruit fool or a fruit meringue or a fruit trifle? There are loads to choose from and I’m making myself hungry thinking about them! Let me know what you do. I’ve made a crumble this week with apple, rhubarb and raspberries yum! Word count: Set yourself a timer for 5 or 10 minutes – how many words can you make from love, joy, peace (or you can choose some of the others) in that time? Secret message: You’ll need some grown up help with part of this one. Squeeze the juice from a lemon. Using a cotton bud or small paintbrush write a secret message on a sheet of paper. Leave it to dry – you shouldn’t really be able to see it now. With an adult: rub a hot iron quite slowly over your sheet of paper and watch your message appear. (You could do a few of these with the names of the “fruit of the Spirit” that we’ve been learning about.) Extra: I’ve never tried this – does it work with coloured paper? If it does then you could make some nice patterns or pictures on coloured paper.
