Christmas Food and Drink in Lincolnshire, England

Lincolnshire County in England I went to Lincolnshire County in England today, at least I visited via Zoom. The Lincolnshire Family History Society is where I am currently doing some family history research. Today they had a Zoom presentation on Christmas food and drink. The request was made by email to be invited to the meeting. There was some concern when my link came for logging in and it was for London time. Using an online time converter and testing the connection I determined the time they would be starting. There were nineteen of us in attendance. Once we adapted to our accents communication flowed very well. For over an hour they kept me very entertained. They discussed the Winter Solstice, Yule, New Year, The Twelfth Night, and the Medieval Feast. The longest discussion was on the Christmas Eve Dinner. They covered Fish, Fowl, Beef, Pork, Rabbit, Swan, Geese, Turkey and Boar’s Head among the main courses. Then there were the side dishes of vegetables, fruits, and deserts. The Christmas Day in the Workhouse was compared to what the rich would eat. Finally they discussed the drinks. If you search online there is surely further information. What you might not find is such a jovial, cordial, treat of mingling with the local genealogy group. It certainly was a Christmas treat for me. https://www.lincolnshirefhs.org.uk/
