# Dining - Lords dinner: Hands washed for you at the start with perfumed water. - Spicy Meat, custard tarts, Venison would have been hunted fresh, chicken would be rarer so would show they're wealthier. - A man would carve the chicken for you. - Chicken would have been cooked with spices, and stuffed with grapes. - Would be served with a ground almond sauce and chicken stock. - Food was simple but took time & effort to cook. # Alcohol - Taverns: Sell Wine - Inns: Often grew out of monasteries, would sell food, and would be used for travel/have a stables. - Ale house: Would sell out of a house with a sign to show they had beer, eventually these were replaced with signs that had symbols on them which is how pub names originated, white horse, monks head, etc. This was due to people being illiterate. - The phrase "take down a peg or two" originated from the tankards having pegs within them, you would drink to the next "peg".
