😂 This Austrian has always enjoyed pickled herring (very Tudor 😉) but Sushi was a once and never again experience for me. The astronomical cost did not help to make it more palatable either. The likes and dislikes of food by different people are so interesting in themselves.

To find a fifteen century wafer(waffle) iron in the midst of a fabulous medieval collection definitely crowns the excitement. John the Fearless coat of arms.

That‘s a shame but I found that often ‘traditional’ dishes are internationally disliked. See haggis in Scotland. This might be because fashions in taste change. Only 50 years ago no European would have been keen on Sushi. I definitely prefer eel to Sushi. 😉

I have been to (modern takes on) medieval feasts but this is a welcome first: (Medieval) boiled eel in green sauce served in a modern restaurant! Definitely in favour of this! Delicious it was too!

Avoided scorching Central Europe. Plenty of cool places left. Hot Garderobes though. #Bruges

Should have been in Austria this weekend but at almost 36 C in the shade we had to call it off as hubby has a damaged heart. Went topiary hunting instead. Much cooler.

#Norfolk is not famous for ice cream but it should be! Absolutely the best. And I mean it.

Progress. Kew Rambler is a fast climber. Chosen for its similar appearance to rose Sweetbrier (Eglantine) but with a greater flower production as you can see.

Exuberantly carved medieval choir stall characters at Lincoln Cathedral. There are easily enough to fill a guidebook.

Absolute winner of the strawberry season! Alpine strawberries mixed with cinnamon, ginger, sugar & red wine for the filling & then baked in case. #strawberry #17thcentury #Stuartcookery

I might be just a little obsessed with Sir Edward’s Rose Bower at this time of year. Happy Birthday rose arbour - three years old now. 🎂

With the arrival of my son’s fiancé birthday treats have become really exciting! Thoroughly enjoyed the Richard III production at the Globe last night. Excellent cast, witty humour, full audience participation and very contemporary - then and now. Shakespeare would have approved.

I had exactly 5 mins between thunderstorms and hailstones to dash outside and take a picture of my rose arbour. The only way to enjoy the garden’s beauty this washout June.

Adorable 17th century embroidery. I hope the creator of this fine piece was able to bag herself a loving and respectful husband who admired her skills as much as I do! At Wilkinson Auctioneers

It’s #gooseberry season and one of my favourite ways to use them is in chicken pies. There are several similar Tudor recipes for this dish but the recipe in my book dates from 1594. #eatingwiththetudors @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

When one of the most popular historic cookery book authors sends you a picture of your own humble book on sale at Stratford it is a pretty memorable moment. Thank you Max!
