known, and fresh meat. il procurable in
winter, was very lean. 1t cost f, ON half
penny to q penny per pound, which was
equal TO penny or twopenee of our mon

obtained from their own pondsand streams.
Salt fish WAS common article of diet
among the working-classes.
Cakes If oats and spice were on all good
tables. Pies aud pas ries were made Of all
sorts Of things. Page invited Falstaff and
his friends to a dinner Of .'hot venison

Very few vegetables were used,
and some we're regularly imported and
sailed down. Cabhages and onions
we're sent from H Hand to Hull.
Lettuce was served as a separate
dish. and eaten at supper before meat.
Capers were usually eaten boiled. with oil
and vinegar as a salad. Eschalots we're
used to smear the plate before putting
meat on it. Carrots had been introduced

the young and happy rarely give to their

run agin me and knock me clean dowr
