Simon Fowler and Sylvia Levi on Christmas food and drink

Date: 6th December 2024
Time: 14:00
Location: Zoom
Online | West Dorset Group

Join us as we find out what Dorset residents, rich and poor, would have eaten and drank over the Christmas period. Would they have eaten turkey and furmity? Or have drunk Smoking Bishop? And would the paupers in the workhouse have been allowed a pint of beer? All will be revealed.

Sylvia Levi is an enthusiastic food historian with a particular interest in what our ancestors baked.

Simon Fowler is a professional researcher, writer and tutor who enjoys his beer.
