Foods (seasonal, wild, hunted)

From season to season, the Gods send delicious and nutritious foods for free.Gathering fresh leaves in spring, nettle, sorrel, beech as a tonic after the long winter of preserved foodstuffs is a welcome change.

The spring also brings bird's eggs, collected by children as a huge source of protein.

The harvest season is followed by the hunting and gathering season when wild animals are at their fattest.

Deer, wild woodland cattle and wild boar - the favourite of the Eceni - are hunted enthusiastically! Every part of the animal is used in some way, providing many tribal needs.
