Pottage

Call it stew, soup, mush, or even porridge, it was the meal most likely to end up on the table of the poor peasantry.

But more than meat and a few vegetables ends up swirling around in the bowl of pottage. There’s history, feudalism and nobility, game and beef, and even a bit of Robin Hood in there as well.

So get out your soup spoon, a nice slab of bread and cozy on up to this heaping helping of pottage.
