Just came across this interesting article about what theatergoers ate in Elizabethan times, as determined by excavations under the Globe and Rose Theaters.
Oysters anyone? Sturgeon? How about an elderberry pie?
What’s the most unusual concessions fare you’ve eaten at the theater?

I can’t imagine what movie theater oysters today would look like. They’d probably sit out under a heat lamp for twelve hours before being slathered in butter and dumped in a bucket.
