                             Typical Market Baskets

 

From Medieval or Tudor through to Georgian times,
there was no packaging for any food bought and no
shops as such. You bought in bulk in either sacks,
baskets, barrels or crates, from merchants, warehouses,
markets or fairs.

In a town, day to day supplies were bought from
markets and you had to supply your own containers
and wrappings, e.g. jugs, bowls, baskets and cloth,
while large leaves were often used for butter, soft
cheese etc.

All farms, manor houses and estates were mainly
self-sufficient and gardeners brought produce to
the kitchens for use in the household.

Market baskets were used in this fashion up to
Victorian times.
