3. Lovesick young woman unjustly offended:

Things base and vile, holding no quantity,Love can transpose to form and dignity.

Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind;

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Eating Shakespeare

How to cook like the Bard? Let's get this straight: We know Shakespeare was not a cook. But he knew what he liked and he depicted many food experiences in his plays.

Many of the dishes Shakespeare and his actors loved are still foods we enjoy today; on a Sunday, many of us tuck into “great meals of beef” just like the doughty soldiers in Henry V, while home-grown, in-season strawberries are as much a delight to us as they were to the Bard's Richard III.

In Romeo and Juliet, one of the servants asks his friends to “save me a piece of marchpane” from the ball. As its name suggests, ”marchpane" was a forerunner of marzipan, made from ground almonds, sugar and rosewater, but Tudor cooks used it for far more than covering cakes with.

The drinks cabinet, too, was a different world in Shakespeare’s time. Most people's go-to refreshment was ale, as the water was so polluted – Shakespeare's own father was an ale taster in Stratford – while wine was more expensive. One of the most popular wines was sack, a sweet fortified wine imported from Spain

“And, most dear actors, eat no onions or garlic, for we are to utter sweet breath; and I do not doubt but to hear them say, it is a sweet comedy. No more words: Away! Go, away!”
