OverviewNestling between the Rivers Wye and Severn, the Forest of Dean has seen its unique way of life, its distinct dialect and its food heritage lie hidden for many centuries. This book looks at what the Foresters might have served up at mealtimes over the last few hundred years, cooked on primitive equipment and with meagre incomes. From the introduction of sweet chestnuts by the Romans, to the rise of Commoners Privileges to rear pigs and sheep for personal consumption, the book looks at how the Forest, once an exclusive royal hunting ground, has fed its growing population, doing its best to overcome poverty and deprivation. There are recipes to try if you feel brave - each one opening a window on the past, some with strange ingredients and many that are recognisable to us today.
