The crew of the Mary Rose ate from wooden plates, dishes and bowls.

Like the officers they used knives, spoons and their fingers to eat with.

 

Around 87 wooden bowls, 58 wooden dishes and 144 wooden plates were recovered, many from within barrels located beside the `Kychen'.

We only found a few wooden spoons on the wreck, we think most of the men would have had spoons made from cow horn.

Horn didn't survive well, so we are missing all those spoons.
