jan 1, 1629 - neat’s foot
Description:
We should not be surprised to hear that neat’s tongue was formerly a delicacy, but so apparently were the feet. In the seventeenth century the variety and the amount of food eaten by the Saviles at Thornhill was recorded in their kitchen accounts, and Barbara Nuttall’s transcription for 19 January 1629 includes <i>23 neates tongues</i> and <i>7 neates feet</i> (BN2/14).Added to timeline:
