Book Synopsis Anglo-Saxon Food and Drink by : Ann Hagen
Book excerpt: Food production for home consumption was the basis of economic activity throughout the Anglo-Saxon period and ensuring access to an adequate food supply was a constant preoccupation. Used as payment and a medium of trade, food was the basis of the Anglo-Saxons' system of finance and administration. Information on the production, processing, distribution and consumption of food from the fifth to the eleventh centuries from literary and archaeological sources has been brought together to give fascinating insights into this important aspect on Anglo-Saxon life.
