Not many economic historians bother with this sort of thing, yet "what did they eat?" seems a fairly fundamental part of knowing any culture to me.

We're all thrilled with the kind words. Ironically, we actually do have a link to the blog from the main Cloisters page, at http://www.metmuseum.org/cloisters/ but that's not to say the blog is easy to find! We know our website is too hard to use and we're rebuilding it now with a particular eye to much more usable navigation. It's a big site and a complicated job, but when we launch I hope you'll find it much easier to get around. Thanks, Matt Morgan General Manager of the Website The Metropolitan Museum of Art Soretta, thanks for the compliment! We’re all thrilled with the kind words.

Wish it wasn't so hard to find, though. It would be terrific if a link could be put on The Cloisters Museum home page. This is a great blog. Wish it wasn’t so hard to find, though.
