Also everything you're getting from the grocery store is super processed whereas what they got was fresh and none of your vegetables compare to what they had back then, grow something in your garden and buy something from the store then eat it at the same time you will see the difference. stop kidding yourself and thinking that you live like the opulent did historically even with running water and Wi-Fi their lifestyle is something you can't even conceive of,, but high five for your narcissism thinking that you live on par with royalty 700 years ago 😂😂👑

@@xScooterAZx One must keep in mind the perspective of cost between today and back then. If I said a gallon of ale cost a penny, I’d be surprised to find someone who actually knew that was a whole day’s (or most of it) wages for Thomas Middleclass. Think of buying a six pack and it cost a quarter of your take home pay for the day! You couldn’t touch a gill (four ounces) of wine for a penny! Meat was expensive. Fish, depending on access to a river or the sea, slightly less so. Unless you were buying minnows (they were eaten, too.) Bread, having 1:19th the gluten of today’s bread, was the staple in everyone’s diet. Unless one were like several notable , historical figures who drank wine and ate naught but meat. Ulcers, skin diseases, and more accompanied that diet. So did early death, even for those days. Hope I clarified a bit on cost. Cheers!

@PSDuck216 Год назад

Ah, but you are wrong on “white “ bread. It was sifted multiple times. When baked, it was actually tan. Not the white, bleached flour that we know today, with nothing but empty carbs. So, medieval “white” bread was still good for you. BTW, that wheat bread back then was not the gluten-heavy junk on our shelves today. In the 1950s, iirc, wheat was genetically modified to contain 19 time more gluten than wheat from the 1940s and back...to the Neolithic age. That’s right: nineteen times! And dieticians, doctors, et al wonder at the gluten intolerances and outright allergies that are prevalent today. Look no further than Big Ag(riculture). Could this be corrected? In a heartbeat. But $$$ gets in the way. I hope I’ve shed some light on medieval white bread. Cheers!

Both in this video and the peasant one you have visuals of tomatoes. Tomatoes came from the New World and were unknown in medieval Europe. In this video you also say they ate squashes.

The amount of new fruits, vegetables and domesticated animals that arrived in Europe during The Columbian Exchange is astonishing. And most Europeans are unaware of this now.

I dont think you're quite right about the salt thing. High quality salt was expensive, yes, but people of ALL classes thought of it as a necessity. Much like how even poor people will buy gas for their car, despite the cost, they do so because of how important driving around is. Peasants would've had salt of a lesser quality, less refined of impurities etc, but they definitely and absolutely had salt.

You're right on the salt, but I haven't driven a car since last year (2021) and I normally walk everywhere but then again I do live in the middle of an old European city.

@PSDuck216 Год назад

That’s because humans, like nearly all warm blooded animals on this planet need salt to survive. What one bought at market never had added salt, etc, unless it was stockfish. Stockfish were fish, sometimes gutted, and packed and rolled in salt to keep it preserved. To get the salt out of the fish, which was also dried, (sort of like a mummy without wrapping), it had to be boiled 2 days or more. What was left was a kind of protein powder or sludge that could be put into broths for soup or stews. Basically, by the time the salt was boiled out, it was tasteless. But put it into soups along with other meatless products, and the soup might be bland, to our tastes, but it was good sustenance. Non appetite! Cheers!

Citrus fruits can keep for a couple of weeks if packed in straw. Pomegranates have a hard rind. Mostly you're looking to stop the fruit losing water or becoming overripe, so picking them early, packing them unblemished, and sealing the container can give you the time it takes to get from Greece to the south of France, or Spain to England and the Netherlands by sea.

Not really. Most of the beer drunk would have been what was called small beer, usually about 1% ABV (this is the same strength as the shandy I could buy from the corner shop when I was a kid). Making small beer was primarily a way of making water potable; drinking five or six pints a day wouldn't have been unusual, starting at breakfast. In England at least, it was only when tea became popular that this practice really stopped.

small beer or ale supplemented the medieval diet, if your expending hundreds of calories daily working outdoors in the fields 16 hours a day, you need to replace those calories somehow- and the medievals did, with small beer.

"salt was rare and expensive." And now is 'abundant and health risk' But, man, I do like those ship shaped salt containers. As for the feast, if I were a noble of this era, I'm not sure if I would make a very good one, but would have instead spent that money on advancing the lands under my control. Start young, around the age of maybe 15, then eventually with improvements, improved life for the lower classes, then as I was older invited them to such feast as I was old, near death, and wouldn't really care what the others think.....also, because I would try to be generally loved, raising the ire of the other nobility as their lower classes would prefer me, over them, thus I probably would have been assassinated before the age of 28, which would be the reason why I wouldn't really care in the end, also, the end goal was to be so loved, have people flocking to me, would deplete the other Lords population, and that's how I would conquer the Medieval world, as the real way to conquer someone wasn't though military might, but to have another populace love your lands, more then their own, which is why I would probably be killed around the age of 28, if not sooner.

Most of these sumptuary laws specifically targeted wealthy burghers in towns and cities. These settlements had officials for the enforcement of sumptuary laws. Nevertheless, they often went unenforced due to the difficulties involved in their implementation and, of course, good old fashioned bribery. Still, people were found guilty of sumptuary offenses and fined. Offenses related to clothing and jewelry were easily noticed, while something like eating meat on a fast day, or serving more courses than the law allowed, were often discovered by means still popular today- snitching. Goodwives of burgher households, always in competition for status with one another while pushing the line of legality, were more than ready to accuse a neighbor of living beyond their station, and many would've thought little about reporting an extra goose at their neighbor's table to the authorities- disguised as harmless gossip, of course.

The middle ages were before and at the beginning of the colonization of the Americas. So it is possible, but probably took some time for it to be common. Then came the Renaissance.

@RichWoods23 Год назад

There could well be confusion over the nomenclature of several plants and their fruits, which changes over centuries and where a single word can sometimes describe a number of what we would think of as different species (even genera). Squash is a Native American word, so that's wrong for the Middle Ages, but Europeans were familiar with watermelons from Africa and cucumbers from India and China, so in some languages might have described these fruit with the same word because of the broad similarities (medium-hard rind, medium-soft pulp with seeds). Pumpkins and marrows (bred preferentially for courgettes/zucchini centuries later) only arrived after the Renaissance, which had marked the end of the Middle Ages.

@RichWoods23 Год назад

Ok, at 4:25 you mention that salt is rare enough to only be available for seasoning at the table of lords, but wasn't salting a common method of preservation even back then? The amount of salt needed to preserve a single slab of meat would be enough to supply seasoning at the table for a hundred people *at least* wouldn't it?

@RichWoods23 Год назад

I think it depends on how well refined the salt was. Salt pans have been built in estuaries for millennia, and there are salt mines in Cheshire. It's one thing to produce salt of a quality suitable for preserving meat or for making into a cowlick, but much more time and effort to repeatedly dissolve, purify, boil and recrystallise it to get the quality we're used to in our table salt today. It's not just sand and grit to remove; there can be a lot of iodine in sea salt and phosphates in rock salt.

@sawahtb Год назад

Often the photos are a bit out of context. Most history buffs know tomatoes were at first thought of as ornamental and not trusted as food when first brought over to Europe. I think the most common vegetables were cabbage, leeks, onions, parsnips, and peas.

What utter killjoys those medieval catholics were, as if God cares what we eat! Lenten fasting does make some sense, though, food stores were at their lowest at this time of year. Any uneaten frozen meat would be starting to thaw and field plowing was just starting, there were only a few fresh items that could be harvested. Milk and egg production tapered off during the long winters, and young animals, like lambs, were just being born. How anyone could actually eat an innocent baby animal like a lamb is beyond me, but they didn’t have the luxuries of abundance and choice that we have now (well, some of us). Hungry people with children to feed feel differently.

It'd be a lot easier to follow this if you didn't speed up in the Royal Appetite section. I can't even register what you're saying you're talking so fast. If you're not going to give your audience the chance to take in what you're saying why not just leave it as 'They ate a lot of stuff." and be done with it?
