VeuetabIes In Tudors' Time.

the potato as staple article of diet:
Apparently they had most of the vege-
tables that we have now. OF London
ers in the time Of the Tudors, Sir Wal
ter Besant tells us that they ate let
tuce as a separate dish before the
meat, used turnip leaves as salad
and roasted the turnip itself In wood
ashes. Horseradish and carrots were
known to them, and capers were serv
ed boiled in oil or vinegar. Cucum-
bers. radishes, parsnips and cabbages
also figured at the Tudor meal table.

their oysters and spread their beef
