Sikanjibin
Ice Water
The Day Board was intended as a set of small "nibbles" that were served after lunch and before feast. These items would have been served as part of the first course at a real Tudor feast. The use of them as a Day Board is a modern contrivance to give people something to munch while they play period games, dance, and chat. We served the Sikanjibin, Lemonade and Water with ice, something that would not have beendone in period, but it suits the modern palette. The use of fresh-baked-on-the-premeises bread was done both for novelty of having fresh bread, an uncommon thing in the US, and also to create an "atmosphere". Thereisnothing like the smell of fresh-baked yeast bread to set the mood and whet the appetite.
