The Medieval Feast


 While learning about kings and queens, we had a medieval feast with our playgroup friends. It was so fun, probably more fun for us mommies than for the kiddos. I kind of geeked out in the preparation when I found this medieval recipe website. We had a roasted chicken, parsnip pie, saffron vermicelli (or bowtie pasta), canel cucumber, apple muse, and wassail (apple cider). We proceeded into the dining room by family and served the food in courses with entertainment like someone telling a joke or doing a dance in between courses. Then we showed them some clips of "A Knight's Tale" for the jousting and then did our own jousting! It was so fun.
