Tudor Dishes That Still Delight: 500 Years of Flavor

Many foods from the Tudor era, between 1485 and 1603, are still around!

These foods are a connection to the past.

One treat was Marchpane, a fancy almond and sugar candy, like modern marzipan.

Another was Mortis, a chicken or fish pâté, a Tudor delicacy.

Pottage was a veggie and grain stew, like today's soups.

Prune Tart, with prunes and custard, was a noble favorite.

Tarte Owte of Lente was a cheese tart, and Flyettes en Galentyne was slow-roasted pork.

Spinach Fritters were tasty snacks and Soul Cakes were spiced treats, ancestors of gingerbread.
