What was William Shakespeare's favorite food?

Answer 1

Sadly history does not seem to record what Shakespeare's favorite food was.

It is impossible to say what William Shakespeare's favorite food was as it is not written anywhere as far as we know.

Many Elizabethan recipes are similar to those we have now, including soups, stews, salads and breads. They did not have new world foods such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, corn, vanilla and chocolate. They also did not use fresh milk, because it went bad so quickly. Milk was changed into butter and cheese, which kept better. Some foods which were popular in his time were savoury pies, stuffed and baked whole fish, birds and animals, and salads ("sallets") containing flowers as well as herbs and greens. Nutmeg and sugar were used in a lot of recipes around that time.
We have no idea what Shakespeare's favourite anything was, since he left behind no diaries or personal correspondence, nor did anyone who knew him well.

Answer 2

Nobody knows what Shakespeare's favourite food was. This is because he left no diaries in which he might say, "Anne made me quince tart--my favourite" nor are there any letters from anyone which might say, "William Shakespeare is coming for supper Friday next--he won't be happy unless we make a capon stuffed with raisins." If such documents ever existed, which is doubtful, they have long since been destroyed by people who were careless or thought they were unimportant.

Answer 3

Nobody ever recorded what Shakespeare's favourite anything was. Don't bother asking.
