This book is a companion to the popular first Handbook by Hagen that explored food proseeing and consumption. It brings together for the first time information from various primary, secondary and archaeological sources in order to build up a composite picture of the production and distribution of food during the Anglo-Saxon period. A vast amount of information on livestock, cereal and vegetable crops, fish, honey, and fermetned drinks is included, together with related subjects such as hospitality, charity and drunkenness.
