St Georges Day Party

[nick63]

Im having a St Georges Day party and want some crusader knight games to play; and food that they may have eaten in medieval times... any ideas welcome

If you have money to spare, you could hire an inflatable jousting game thingy - google it to find local suppliers.  Otherwise, just go round beating up the welsh - i mean dragons!  OOPS! :-p

A �first of the season� barbeque with lots of hand-held meat cuts would probably do food-wise. Chicken legs, chops etc. (Pre-cook in the oven if necessary).

Wash it down with a good few pegs of ale and have plenty of wenches on hand.

They wouldn�t have had lollo rosso lettuce or mange tout flown in from Kenya, so a few hearty roast root vegetables (potatoes, parsnips etc and roast carrots are lovely) (yes, I know they didn�t have potatoes until the 17th (?) century, but that�s not the point).

Mead is probably a bit of an aquired taste, besides, you will not have enough time to ferment your honey, so if it�s a particularly chilly April evening, something along the lines of mulled wine may go down well.- in fact treat it a bit like a Bonfire Night party - with hearty fare for a (probably) chilly evening.

Can�t really help you with games, but following on from acw�s suggestion, you could try �Run Away From The Welsh�, or one of the great Crusader games such as �Raze Constantinople�. Failing that, perhaps acw could find out what they do for St George�s day in Moscow, Georgia, Aragon, Barcelona, Bavaria, Beirut, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Lithuania and Hungary, since they also share the same patron saint!

(At least Dewi Sant [St.David] was actually Welsh !!)    ;o)
