Most period trencher descriptions state that the bread is to have the crust
removed. All the period illustrations that I am aware of show bread trenchers
as being a hand or so in size, rectangular and laid down 2 side by side on
the bottom and one across the seam on top. I have used trenchers a number of
times in the past and if you use the correct method of taking a piece of
whatever and dipping it into the sauce which is ideally served for two in a
separate dish instead of pouring the sauce over your food on the trencher it
works well. i have had no problems using them.dip The thought has never
occurred to me to eat my trenchers though so i have no idea whether they were
, in fact, edible or not. ;-)
