Getting ready for the feast in the castle kitchens
These castle kitchens before a feast are hot, busy, and full of cooking, and they play free in any web browser. The kitchen hearth is a wall of heat and roaring flame. Roasts turn slowly on iron spits that creak as they go, and fat hisses as it drips into the fire.
Big iron pots of stew bubble on the range, and a lid rattles gently. On the hob, an old kettle simmers and hisses. Next to you, a cook's knife races across a wooden block, and fresh herbs are chopped and swept aside.
Copper pans come down from their hooks with bright clangs. A servant dashes across the flagstones, and someone sets out goblets and plates with a clatter. The rush quickens your pulse, yet everyone seems to know their job. Soon the noise turns into a busy rhythm, and you feel part of the feast to come.
For the cooking sounds without the knives, choose Without the chopping. Fire and pots only leaves the roaring hearth, the stew, and the kettle.
What you hear in the castle kitchens
- Kitchen hearth with turning spits: A hot fire roars in a huge kitchen hearth. Roasts turn on creaking iron spits, and fat sizzles in the flames. Plays all the time.
- Stewpots simmering: Several large iron pots of stew bubble on a stone range, and a lid rattles gently once in a while. Plays all the time.
- Kettle simmering: An old iron kettle simmers quietly beside the fire with soft bubbling and a hiss of steam. Plays all the time.
- Knife chopping on a block: A cook chops vegetables fast with a heavy knife on a thick wooden block. Plays at random moments, about 4 times every 10 minutes.
- Herbs chopped on the board: A broad knife rocks quickly through fresh herbs, then scrapes them aside on the board. Plays at random moments, about 4 times every 10 minutes.
- Copper pans clattering: Copper pans and iron ladles come down from their hooks and land on a stone worktop with bright clangs. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Servant hurrying on stone: A kitchen servant in soft shoes hurries across the stone floor with quick, scuffing steps. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Goblets on the table: A row of goblets and pewter plates is laid out on a wooden table, clinking one by one. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
