520    Popular representations of the Tudors at table have 
       caricatured them as loud, gross, and lacking any manners. 
       This is actually far from the case, as food and dining 
       were used as social display by the upwardly mobile. For 
       those with money, meals became extravagantly sophisticated,
       with a staggering number of courses and breathtaking table
       displays. Even those lower down the social scale enjoyed 
       some of the benefits of increasing prosperity and the new 
       markets which England's merchants exploited, bringing new 
       foodstuffs into the country and new ideas about eating. 
       Alison Sim also explores Tudor ideas about healthy eating,
       as they were aware of the effects of various foods on the 
       body and the health-giving properties of certain 
       ingredients. Etiquette, too, was treated with great 
       seriousness in this period, as those who wished to impress
       a potential patron or benefactor were keen to show off 
       their good manners. What emerges from this evidence is a 
       more balanced and certainly more attractive picture of the
       Tudors at table.
