"Away with the joint-stools, remove the
court-cupboard, look to the plate. Good thou, save
me a piece of marchpane; and, as thou lovest me, let
the porter let in Susan Grindstone and Nell.
Antony, and Potpan!"
-Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet 1.5.7 🍜
I've been busy cooking and photographing recipes for a food history colleague's forthcoming book about food in Shakespeare. Eel pie, meatball “pears” in broth, ginger kickshaws and marchpane. A later era than where you'll usually find me, but lots of fun.

juliet sees a world that is already imagines her as a wife and as a sexual object and invents a whole new fucking language to escape it.

even the servants are bumping up against it, with S&G turning their anger at the job into violent misogyny; Potpan sneaking a piece of marzipan at the party

A Shakespeare character I enjoy is Potpan, a busboy in Romeo and Juliet.

If the kids at recess all call Mr. Potpan "Mr. Pooppants" they all get to snicker with each other and Mr. Potpan gives 0 fucks. And nothing changes.
