Party Hearty in the Middle Ages
Despite the Middle Ages still sometimes being callled the Dark Ages, people in that era often enjoyed good times, especially at the table. Through art and archaeology, learn about ,edieal fodds and their preparation - including a recipe for roast unicorn! - in late-medieval feasts, as well as the rules and ceremonies under which these sumptious foods were presented and the types of entertainment guests might enjoy. Works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met's Cloisters Museum will highlight this talk.
