Dear all,
I have been working some time with Swedish early modern ordinances
concerning abundance (or should it be luxury in English?) at funerals. This
has made me curious about the tradition of serving strong wine, for instance
sherry, in connection with the different gatherings following death (read:
wakes, funerals et c.). Do you have any information about food traditions
related to funerals, and more specific about sherry? Or do you have a clue
about publications on the matter? If so, please contact me. I would be very
grateful!
With kind regards,
