Have you ever wondered what people ate in the Elizabethan Era? The Elizabethan Era had foods that are in common with foods that we ate today, but there are a few different types of foods that they ate then that we don't eat now.

During the Elizabethan Era, the foods that you ate were heavily based on what class of wealth you fit into! If you were part of the wealthy class, you would have a very large assortment of foods at your disposal to eat. If you were part of the middle class, you had some medley of foods to choose from. If you were part of the poor class, then you did not have near as many foods to choose from. However, if you were born into or part of the penury part of society, you had very few possible choices of food to pick from. The different classes in wealth ate very differently, back then (Sharnette.) The food that you ate, in the Elizabethan Era, heavily depended on whether you were wealthy or poor and was much different from the foods that we eat nowadays.
Both Lavender and Scarlet get a devil’s food cake with pink frosting on their birthday in the book Switched at Birthday.

As the 1500’s came the Roman Catholic Church dominates almost every aspect of European life. The political boundaries were very little, even the kings had to bow down to the church. It has been said that the pope was the ruler of the western world. The Catholic Church was challenging both politically and spiritually. The church would be afraid that if they had a misstep, that they would burn in the Lake of Fire. The church also thought if they were nice and they were doing good deeds, then they would would get to go to heaven. But the church was wrong about both of those thoughts.

A king or queen when going abroad could expect banquet tables filled with hundreds of dishes--for just one meal! There was much pageantry and entertainment. At Leicester, Queen Elizabeth I (predecessor of King James VI & I) was greeted with a pageant of welcome displayed on a temporary bridge. There were cages of live birds--bitterns, curlews, hernshaws and godwits. One pillar held great silver bowls piled with apples, pears, cherries, walnuts and filberts. Other pillars held ears of wheat, oats and barley, gigantic bunches of red and white grapes, great livery pots of claret and white wine, sea fish in quantity laying upon fresh grass, and the last pillar was devoted to the arts. There were arms and music explained by a blue-clad poet.

It all started four years ago when a family member had a birthday where a cake was ordered from the local grocery store. The cake was not up to par. Dominica Clementi’s mother Nonna Jo-Ann decided that she could bake cake that was better. She sent her daughters to school to learn pastry decorations in order to keep up with the new trends of baking. They started by making cakes out of their home.

Chocolate went on a journey from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, to Spain and the rest of Europe and eventually New World America. Although there is a countless amount of scholarship regarding chocolate, the research of Wilson, Dillinger (along with her associates), Lippi, Terrio and Norton have critical information pertaining to the topic of chocolate in Western Europe during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries.
