Anne Wilson, these are recipes for what was then called "banquetting stuffe," usually served as a separate course at the end of the meal. In the largest and grandest houses, these little final meals were served in their own separate milieu, a banquetting house, usually placed in a gardenlike setting. While we do not know whether Bockmer had such a banquetting house, we do know from perusing the manuscript that this "dessert'' course was obviously an important one. The history of this separate repast goes back to the medieval feast, which would end with hippocras, a spiced wine, and spiced wafers served after the main course was taken away.
In "To Penshurst," Jonson is honoring a manorial lord and lady for their hospitality and the manor itself for its rich fecundity. These manor lands seem to burst with fresh fruits: "the early cherry," "the later plum,'' the fig, the grape, the quince, "the blushing apricot,'' and the "wooly peach"; the manor lake seems to send forth fish into a net; and the manor's fields are filled to abundance with pheasants and partridges. According to Jonson (quite a food lover himself), a happy manor home was one that honored the gustatory desires of its visitors and inhabitants.
In fact, an authoritative sixteenth-century text, John Russell's Boke of Nurture, says that one should most definitely take these sweet foods "after meat ... " So not only were these recipes a sign of conspicuous consumption because sugar was still not cheap, they were also a sign of a housewife's concern for her family's and her guests' health. Since the seventeenth century was a time of spreading wealth, there was a market for books that would train the newly wealthy in Page 13 proper housewifery.
