A FULL BODIED

VEGETABLE SOUP

NO BONES ABOUT IT!

Apart from over-indulging in wives, Henry VIII was also a glutton, favouring 14 course banquets prepared by his 200 kitchen staff.

Amongst the bizarre items on the menu were grilled beavers’ tails, whole roasted peacocks, internal organs (although not of his wives!) and whale meat.

Vegetables also featured, but not to excess, as they were viewed as the food of the poor.
