Menu A Sallet (Salad) of all Kinds of Herbes and Flowers She was the sweet-marjoram of the salad, or, rather the herb of grace. All’s Well That Ends Well, Act IV, Scene 5 Meat Pies of Wild Game (Elk, Venison) The devil speed him! no man's pie is freed from his ambitious finger. Henry VIII, Act 1, Scene 1 John Murrell’s Buttered Colleflowre No more shall trenching war channel her fields, nor bruise her flowerets. Henry IV, Part 1, Act 1, Scene 1 Roasted Turkey O, peace!

Timon of Athens, Act IV, Scene 3 Hens with Rice, in the French Fashion Some pigeons, Davy, a couple of short-legged hens, a joint of mutton, and any pretty little tiny kickshaws, tell William cook. Henry IV, Part 2, 5.1.26 Spiced Apples How like Eve’s apple doth by beauty grow, if thy sweet virtue answer not thy show! Sonnet 93 Manchet Bread I live with bread like you, feel want, taste grief, need friends. Richard III, Act III, Scene 2 Lemon and Raspberry Posset with Shortbread Yet be cheerful knight; thou shall eat a posset to-night at my house. Merry Wives of Windsor, Act V, Scene 5 Wine & Mead My master is the great rich Capulet; and if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray, come and crush a cup of wine. Rest you merry!
