Summary: Ok, so we have been talking about some pretty heavy detail about food and feasts. We know what they were eating, what they were drinking, how the parties were thrown, and why. We know how food played a key role in the economy, and thus how these feasts were a huge show of power. We know about the surroundings, and what they looked like. We even know about the table manners of the attendees of the feasts. But we've missed a key detail. Entertainment. I wonder how many of you right now have images of drunken warriors playing William Tell with throwing axes as they roar with laughter. Well, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but that probably wasn’t on the schedule.
