In this episode of her series on Tudor Life, Ruth Goodman explains how no two weeks of the Tudor diet were ever the same. Each food source had its own rhythm, tied to daylight, weather, and livestock cycles, following a calendar that was shaped by survival and faith alike.
Filmed on location at Plas Mawr – an Elizabethan townhouse in Conwy, North Wales, now in the care of Cadw – this series with Ruth looks beyond the royals who often dominate the headlines, and considers the everyday routines of those living in England and Wales in the Tudor era.
