In medieval times coneys, or rabbits, were a common source of food for ordanary people, and on holidays they would fatten up a goose for their meal. These people would use herbs to liven up their meals. Common herbs were: mint, sage, rosemary, and parsly. On Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays no meat could be eaten by order of the church. Fish, such as river trout and pike, were used as a subsitute.
