Food from Time Trip #3: Pottage Stew

The celebration lasted through the night. Additional bonfires were made along the beach and everyone gathered in groups and told ghost stories and sang old songs. The Indians sang songs of their ancient heroes, and the non-Separatist Pilgrims sang the catchy drinking songs they remembered from back home. It was early morning before everyone was asleep, but it wasn’t long the next day before the festivities began again.

One of the most popular dishes the next morning (especially for those men who drank too much the night before) was the hot vegetable soup. The vegetables and grains were prepared in medieval stews called pottages. Pieces of meat were boiled with the veggies and the soup simmered and was reduced until a thick broth was formed. Both adults and children lined up for large helpings, ate until they were full, and then went back for more.
