1. Supper
Miss Johnson

2. Eaten
around 5:00 P.M.
usually eaten in the daylight so there was still some natural light to clean up before bed
the season, soil, and weather all influenced supper
often porridge or frumentry
it could be the same as dinner
townspeople had the option of takeaway

3. Tudor Anatomy Beliefs Humoral balance the stomach was a cauldron
every human was made up of four basic humors- blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile
men- more of the blood humour making them hot and strong
women- more the the phlegm making them cool and weak
yellow bile- indicated a hot temper
black bile- indicated sadness or melancholy
the stomach was a cauldron
fueled by the natural head of the body to break down, or concoct, the food that has been eaten and turn it into juice
the juice then passed to the liver where it was broken down again and converted into blood
the blood then traveled to the heart where it mixed with vital spirits
then it was taken away by the veins for another break down where it became parts of the body like flesh, sinew, bone, and skin

4. Tudor Anatomy Beliefs heavy exercise stoked the fire of the body
this means that those with hotter fires in their stomach could break down strong and heavy food
those whose fires burned slowly and cooley couldn’t cope with the rich and heavy food
the fire of the stomach was located at the bottom
the foods that needed to be broken down the most were eaten first so they were placed lowest down in the stomach
this idea dictated in what order they ate
Soup and pattages
Meat- fish, beef
boiled meats were eaten before roasted meats
Salad, Vegetables and Fruit
Cheese

5. Table Manners You were to wash your hands before eating
you were also to keep your spoon and mouth as clean as possible
A communal affair
four to six people sat clustered together eating from the same dishes
known as mess mates
food came to the table cut into bite-size pieces
ate directly from the dish
also shared a surnap, which was a napkin used by all
also shared a cup, which all drank from
you were only supposed to eat from your side of the plate and you were also supposed to offer the best bits to those around you
you literally fed them from your own spoon

6. Table Manners individuals brought their own knife and spoon
for a plate you had a trencher- 4 in square of dried bread
slowly began to be replaced with wooden plates
Where you sat determined what you ate
you had an assigned spot and it had a meaning
not everyone at the table was served the same dishes; it depended on where you sat
You were to refrain from belching and speaking with your mouth full
however, you also had to keep up polite conversation

7. What to Drink Water was dirty and often brought sickness
Most common was ale or beer
