Elizabeth’s banquet by Ellie and Eva

When Elizebeth was having food on the table it  was  surrounded with large peacocks feathers and green branches with violets and other sweet-smiling flowers on the table. It was very flamboyant. They had stuffed chicken and also the birds weren’t allowed to sing or they were going to  be stuffed.They also ate stuffed pig with salad underneath on a massive plate.

Elizabeth enjoyed new food and spices from other countries. Especially unusual recipes. Sometimes she went over the top too much because she was in compassion with a french king and  tried to make her party the best and also her food.
