1. About Renaissance Food
Website - http://www.renaissance-spell.com/Renaissance-Food.html
1. What was the purpose of food, besides tasting good? Besides tasting good, food in the
Renaissance was a symbol of luxury. Soups were visually and gustatorily indulgent, and broths
were restorative. Some dishes also acted as stimulants.
2. What were the common types of food served? Common foods were roasts like sirloin beef,
popular soups, salads with cooked ingredients, Italian pastas, and various pastries.
3. Plan a Renaissance dinner menu using only the foods listed on the website. Choose two
items from each category (Roasts, soups, salads, pastas, sides). Put your menu in order of
“courses” i.e. 1st course, 2nd course, dessert.
1st course: "Soupe dorée" and a fromentée soup; salad with raw herbs, cooked veggies, and
poultry liver.
2nd course: Sirloin beef roast and a broiled dish; covered pastry and white quince pastry.
Dessert: Auvergne cheeses with sugar.
2. About Language
Website - http://johnaugust.com/2009/wherefore-does-not-mean-where
1. A famous line from Romeo and Juliet is when Juliet says “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou
Romeo?”. What does “wherefore” and this line mean?
"Wherefore" means "why". When Juliet says, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?",
she is not asking where Romeo is physically located. She is asking why she is Romeo.
2. Use the various website links listed at http://www.bardweb.net/language.html to translate the
following into “Shakespeare’s” language. Use his words where you can. Put the original text in

Person A Hello. (A sneezes) Excuse me. Person A: Hail. (A sneezeth) Pardon me.
Person B Gesundheit! Person B: God bless thee!
Person A Thank you. Person A: I thank thee.
