- Shrewsberry Cakes. Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night roars out, Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? Using culinary references including tins like the one in this picture, which date back to within reasonable distance of Shakespeare’s lifetime, historians believe the cakes Sir Toby was talking about were Shrewsberry Cakes.
- Gooseberry Foyle. In Henry IV Part II, Falstaff declares, …all the other gifts appertinent man, as the malice of this age shapes them, are not worth a gooseberry.
- Periwinkles. Orlando in As You Like It, declares: “Of a snail!” (IV.1) He might as well have put it as a question. If you’re from the United States, you likely expected these guys to be a type of flower.
- Ambergis. Mistress Ford in Merry Wives of Windsor is ranting about someone having lied to her, but she talks about ambergris indirectly when she says,
- Wild Boar. I’m not sure if Mecaenas is accusing Antony and Cleopatra of eating too much, or throwing small parties, but either way, this breakfast menu sound (sarcastically) delightful
- Marchpane. The forerunner of modern day marzipan, this edible treat was used to make ornate center pieces at events. In Romeo and Juliet, the First Servant sings it’s praises
- Posset. Posset is another dessert. This one is mentioned four times in Shakespeare’s works, with my favorite being this invitation from the Page in the Merry Wives of Windsor
- Sallet. Sallet is another spelling for salad. It is mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays three times, with the most favorable review of sallet coming from Jack Cade in Henry VI Part I
- Warden Pies. Made with brick hard pears, called Warden pears, these pies were open face tarts. They were often colored with spices to make the food bright, which was a Tudor era favorite.
- Junkets. In the Tudor period of history, gelatin was hard to come by. You had to boil down bones to extract the gelatin, and it was a time consuming process.
