 Food of the Renaissance

 Soups The soups were very rich, very expensive and usually served three or more at the same time. They were appealing to the senses and were colorful, sweetened, and sprinkled with a variety of herbs and seeds. Soups were served in place of sweets or dessert. // Salads Salad was no ordinary thing during the Renaissance. It had vegetables and organs of poultry at least. After this was served fish was usually the next course.   // Roasts

Roasts were normally made of sirloin beef. They were boiled, basted, and covered in sugar and other spices.  

Cheese

Cheese was made primarily in Italy and France. It was used as a snack in between courses. The Auvergne cheese was ranked very highly in taste, flavor, and composition. It was made in Auvergne by clean and healthy fourteen year olds.

 Pastas Semolina, vermicelli, and macaroni were very popular during the Renaissance. They originated from Italy but eventually spread all throughout Europe.  <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Pastries Tarts and meat pies were considered the favorites of all the pastries. They were eaten after the main course of dinner was served or in the mornings after a feast.
