FOOD AND DRINK, DINING
The residents’ diet included meat and cereals, which were prepared in the form of porridges or breads. They also ate pulses – mainly lentils, but also peas. Fish formed an important part of their diet. There is evidence that people at Lauby ate celery and beets, but the selection of vegetables would certainly have been much wider than this. They also ate fruit such as plums, apples and pears. Imported foods (such as figs) were bought by the wealthier townspeople. Other foods found at the Lauby site include blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, hazelnuts and grapes.
DINING
Dining took place mainly in a family setting or at community gatherings. However, many festivals were celebrated during the course of the year, and homeowners also invited guests to dine with them. Tableware for drinking and serving liquids played an important role in showing off the owner’s wealth and status. Glazed jugs, goblets, and wooden bowls were all found at the Lauby site. Popular trading goods in the Late Middle Ages included the unique goblets made at Loštice in Central Moravia (with their distinctive nodules on the surfaces) and various types of glassware. People ate with their hands or with spoons. Knives were used to cut and skewer food.
