Henry VIII's Christmas Feast

King Henry VIII liked to live large and luxurious 365. But especially at Christmas. He and his wife of the moment enjoyed decadent feasts including classics we know today like mince pie and gingerbread and more surprising fare like swan, brawn and boars head. All washed down with copious quantities of mead, gruit and wine. His majesty received gop-smackingly expensive and highly political Christmas presents. He partied, played games and generally made himself a very merry monarch indeed. So don your dashing doublet and pull up your hose or lace up your loveliest corset and gown - not too tight! And lets enjoy King Henry VIII’s Christmas feast! Plum Pottage, Mince Pie, Plum pudding, Christmas pudding Salad Roasts: Peacock, partridge, swan, brawn and boars head Banquet course (dessert) gingerbread, marzipan, sugar plate, royal icing.
