What time is it? Just past noon, wot. I'd normally be sittin' down to me post-luncheon snack now. Maple an' buttercup wafers, scones with honeymaple preserves an' clover butter, with a nice pot o' comfrey tea.
It is, sah, teatime doncha know, acorn bread with whipped strawberry cream, hazelnut cream junket an' rosehip an' mint tea, wot!
Yes, carrot and turnip flan, that's jolly nice. I like summer salad with bilberries, mixed fruit and honey pudden, hot scones with quince jam, lashin's o' the stuff! Er, whortleberry pie, honeynut tart, seedcake with a wedge of cheese, anythin' like that.
That coltsfoot an' honey cordial looks nice 'n' cool. Pour me a beaker. Look at this, minted potato 'n' leek turnover, potato 'n' chestnut pasty, apple 'n' strawberry crumble, an' a bowl of custardy cream. They certainly know 'ow t'feed us at this Abbey, mates!
The food was good, but not fancy: plums and russet apples, nuts and bilberries, hot pancakes, soft honey bread, cheeses, and motherwort tea, with flagons of cordial for those who wanted it.
