ARCHAEOLOGY was in action at a recent cooking demonstration held at Flag Fen.
ARCHAEOLOGY was in action at a recent cooking demonstration held at Flag Fen.Volunteer Jacquie Lawson led the day and was helped by Carla Searle, the latest addition to the Flag Fen volunteering team.
Using soay lamb, which are bred on the site, and bog myrtle, an ancient herb used for cooking, Jacquie showed off some of the cooking techniques our ancestors would have used to create such dishes as a lamb stew and seaweed pudding.
General manager Sharon Shortland said: "It was an enjoyable day and an opportunity to see archaeology in action.
"We have worked out exactly how they cooked things in the past, and then we have managed to demonstrate how it was done."
Flag Fen is always looking for more volunteers, and for more information call Sharon on 01733 313414.
