Regency Foods and Seasons
with Shannon DonnellyRegistration ends May 11, 2025!
Class Description
Food reveals character in many ways that clothing does. A man with meat on the sideboard and ale for breakfast is of higher status than a man who only has porridge in a pot. A lady who offers up decorative pineapples on her supper table is following the height of fashion. Above all else, the people of Regency era England followed the seasons for their meat, produce, fish and poultry.
