What the Average Medieval Diet Was Like 

🍺

Who is narrating this it's killing me is it Stephen Colbert?

Meat, meat and more meat, fish and eggs. Everyhting is organic, grass fed, wild caught and pastured.

Legion has it that they found a medieval McDonald's french fry buried in the dirt and it still looks like a medieval McDonald's french fry

@@RandomGuy33369 Plenty of perservatives and trans fats to keep it shelf, or should I say, soil stable 😆.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought of Shrek.

Was there ever any doubt??

Black Knight?

He's my ex🤣

Crom Pazuzu it is

Lol

T OB oh I assumed they had utters.

I enjoy my milked almonds lol

@T OB You're joking, right?

That's how you know a party was good

That’s how you know it was legendary

Them boys was getting faded 😆

Twas illuminated

back then they used to do things like get live birds into pie so that they would scare the person trying to cut into it as a prank. they had crazy parties.

Not really because they worked 12 you only worked 8

@@Wogsmawp Does it count if I add a 3hr workout?

Since you worked only 8 hours, I hope you kept it to 1 1/2-2 lbs of bread.

12 hr shift only 2 baby herrings for this guy.

@@mikefence847 Ask the lord in charge for more bread rations.

"Hey, do you remember how many birds we killed and cooked?" "I can only remember that we have a goose." "Right, Right... Well several thousand unspecific birds it is then!"

Be careful not to choke on the pigeon pie.

In Australia , I used to buy sausages made from unspecified meat .

Lol

Bruh lmao

Squires?

😂😅😂😭🤙🤣

pedos!

Gosh that sounds delicious

Apparently, if you have meat in medieval time, they seasoned the crap out of it with herb and spices you can think of. Might be a bit too much for folks nowaday. Whether as the peasant food back in the days is probably more palatable to modern eaters.

Wise man

I must try

Sounds awesome

why it has to be a netflix thou? it can be HBO series or Cinemax

If I had netflix, I'd definitely watch that

I am currently eating grape jam with a spoon

@@lutherholayeahme7449 what.... D:

Im eating garlic bread with GUACAMOLE

@@grigoriyefimovichrasputin7897 whoa slow down there you very decadent rich man you.

@@grigoriyefimovichrasputin7897 that..... actually might not be that bad...

Jacopo Abbruscato and the fact almond milk was cheaper than cow milk

Because any poor dude can just go to a river a catch a fish but only those with grain and land to spare would be raising chickens to be eaten and not just for eggs.

Strange, isn't it?

Perception my dear friend. Today Lobster and T-bone steak is whatever you want to call it. But at the end of the day 100 years ago people that probably look down on that. It all comes down to perception and culture. And plus rich people nowadays love the garbage parts of animals. Even if they don't have a case. Which is why they smother it in the seasoning and sauce. Enjoy what you eat and let what you eat enjoy you on the way down

@@TubboDaKittyCat almost every vegetable food is less resource intensive, and therefore would be cheaper than animal products in years past. Only modern animal agriculture has reversed this trend.

How did you felt when the beans were named in this video?

People weren't OK with it, the vendors used it to save money. And since all kinds of things were used as fertilizer, I bet raw foods frequently *were* contaminated.

Use plenty of mustard to mask the taste of the dank meat.🤣

@@kaistzar2831 They probably would have tasted and smelled it still. And its kinda a fraud. But since they already bought it its probably too late. I actually read in a school book that people didnt get a refund if the food was spoiled back in the medieval. And since most people were poor then they would probably have to eat it as they cant just buy another meal

(lol) " YEAH BABY, YEAH!.... Southern Fried Roadkill. "

The problem is 'organic' fertilizer. Organic matter from human and domesticated animals contains infectious parasites or bacteria. Even one British Georgian king died from the runs caused by eating fruits. They don't have disinfectant, chlorinated water, soap or medicines like we do today so raw vegetables and fruits are potentially deadly.

Yes! I thought of this right after he said that! Lol

I'd work 12 hours for that

And now our diets consist or eating 8 pounds of garlic bread and spaghetti everyday

It was unrefined flour, and probably didn't have that much sugar and fat. Very different from bread you found. Probably give you digestive a good cleanse while you eat it.

The bread was so hard it was broken up and dropped into soup or hot water to make it edible.

I'm not it's not hard to see how we survived this long

Same

Humans breed like cockroaches. Some were bound to survive and thrive.

@Bok Choy hail Satan

Aquinas was a OMAD hipster because it was cool

XD

So was it 😂

Was it?

Pottage, porridges, herbs, cheese, fish, rarely ever red meat, plants and veggies, ale, ect.

@@somedesertdude1308 Nah, just a bad joke. The peasants could afford more than a loaf of bread like beans or fish but they mostly make their own food.

Pretty much a vegan based diet.

@@jonajo9757 as it happens, they were also the healthiest people, where as kings and queens were commonly ill with all their animal foods. Perhaps that's a lesson modern people could learn.

New Message I would say it's gruelsome.

I love his sense of humor!

It doesn’t take you out of the video and is funny enough to not roll your eyes

Just like 21 century postsoviet country

No, let it out

"o-oh ok" *lets loose my chimera*

First thing that came to mind for me was "second breakfast" or "Elevenses"

I would imagine you are afraid considering you are a bagel.

Beans beans fill your heart. Beans beans make you fart. There. I fixed it for you.

😄😄😄

hear HEAR good syr

A decent number of castles were actually painted white

Noice!

Bah dum dum tissssss.

I live in Eastern Europe and the traditions are pretty much the same, except that people can vegetables and eat a lot of salads, and there are a lot of vegetable dishes. I mean people in the city don't really eat like that anymore but it depends.

I love that; how traditions will survive through the centuries 😎

Bread and sausage sounds great ngl

Gesundheit

Mmmmmm Spanferkel

Bet it was the wealthy that had it

Almond milk tastes gross

@@Dowssy 🖕🏻people don’t drink it just cause it’s good some people can’t tolerate real milk🖕🏻

愚かな雌犬 You can drink soy or you know JUST NO MILK

Oat milk is better 👀

In Medieval times, you fasted because there was a famine.

And the rich ate so poorly gout was considered the disease of kings! It's insane.

Now it's usually the other way around!

They didn't eat healthy for quite a while if just adding beans into their diet doubled their population... That means they clearly didnt get enough of something, which may even be less healthy than eating unhealthy foods in itself. Then again it probably varied and some of them ate genuinely healthy. The rich mainly ate unhealthy, considering gout being common for instance. But Im not so sure if poor people ate universally more healthy

Gotta live long to serve the rich lol

@@zakosist well the rich bois of that time had the same diet as the kings had red wine with meat both got gout

I actually got a hankering for a piece of bread while watching this video. Chose a bagel as well. Then came that ending. XD

@@Maphisto86 perfect timing right? 😆

@@bd3966 I was eating left-over lentils, stir fried veggies, with bread and butter. Then the end of the video came.... I needed more bread.

No bread, but am eating an ice cream cone, yummmy.

Uh oh *bites on my piece of raisin bread*

Lechon!

Hell yeah

Fuck yeah!!

eating lechon rn lmao

Haha yes

Lotr forever

Pippin 😌

I see you are a man of culture as well XD

it had to be invented in England. Anywhere else it would have been a teeth brush.

I'd love to see that

Better yet, the history of dental hygiene.

I thought they did already

I love that scene. A diet is ruined! I hope you’re happy.

im ordering the same food the last guy that ordered

I want a Daedric artifact with my Happy Meal. 😎

Would have been pretty bland by our standards. Ever wonder why the Brits love their mushy peas? In those days most things were cooked by boiling in a pot until soft, only castles had ovens. And their main seasoning would have been salt, maybe some herbs, only the rich could afford spices.

Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; Some like it hot, some like it cold, Some like it in the pot, nine days old.

@@Sorcerers_Apprentice thankfully mushy peas are dying out and are just a boomer and old people food now 😷

Peas pottage with smoked salmon on bread honestly looks amazing, there was a video made on it before

Nice one ;)

YESSSS

There were no such thing as dark ages. And which place or century ? 9th century France was a different planet compared to 7th century Italy, England was barely the same place compared to beggining and ending of 9th century.

They call it the Dark Ages because it's Dark to us historians; we don't know too much about because there wasn't much written down.

@@herodotus945 If, in your opinion, there was no such thing as the dark ages then why did you ask her to clarify what century and country she was referring to? Why would that matter? If someone told you they caught a glimpse of a unicorn would you ask them where they saw it and on which day of the week?

It is also not as this channel claims, repeatedly. Almond was only available iiin Spain, Italy, southern France. Everywhere else it was almost impossible to buy even a handful of almonds. And only a couple of places produced almond by produce. A lot of content on this channel over the last 4 years has been exaggerated or made up. Apparently QE1 occasionally enjoyed almond milk and almond butter which he failed to discover, but it was not fast food and was extremely expensive. I’m pretty sure this is a comedy channel , hardly anything in the content about Europe, Australia, Russia, China and Asia is actual fact. I think we are supposed to laugh. If not the channel is ran by some Americans who find the rest of the world primitive even though Americans are a mixed race descended from Dutch English and Spanish then every one else. He probably wishes he had a homeland with more than 400 years of history.

@@ahippy8972 AA lot of his facts are plain wrong. Next the Italians inventing Pasta and Pizza, or the Pie being European and not middle Eastern

Questionable. Where would they grow commercially available almonds?

Good point

On healthy conditions they lived up to 60 to 70 years old, the problem was that the hygine was so poor that desease was every-fking-where

bjs301 lol

This is a misconception. 40 is an AVERAGE age of death, made up of ALL recorded deaths, including infants who died at childbirth or were still born and young children. To get an average age of 40, you have to have roughly the same amount of people who lived 75-80 years to balance out all those 0-5 year olds who died. The truth is, IF you survived childhood, you had a very good chance of living 70 years.

@@Josee7991 yeah unlike native americans they stayed in one place filling the area with trash and shit in the streets and rivers where native americans would move place to place when the time came.

That’s awesome

17WARD I’m in Asia. They’re eating looads of bread too 😝

@@Bonnie-sd7et Lol yea

That's sound like far east asia where everyone still seeing bread as more europe stuff, I'm South Eastern Asian

@@justnoob8141 In Indonesia, people still didn't consider eating bread as a main course, so to fill up those tummy, you gotta eat rice or you're not really "eating" lol

In the Middle East, rice is only eaten for lunch. Bread is a must for breakfast and dinner.

I had some vegan non dairy foods while watching. Pizza and a brownie.

Calm down Vegan

It’s not good it’s for you it has slot of estrogen

Went to get some after they showed it...then I mixed it with some sugar free maple syrup

Sounds much tastier than the rubbish we get in the supermarkets

I lost my medieval cookbook and it makes me sad. I found some fun recipes people actually liked, too. I had one that was literally written the same way it was back long ago, and so it took some imagination to get right. I think the worst dish was a pear fish dish. That one was weird, but we tried it. I am just happy to have access to more seasonings and herbs. 😂

wat da hell is "keto"???🤔🤔🤔

@@zimvgiguolivich1937 A ketogenic diet.

Impossible? Just replace bread with veggies/eggs (cheap as dirt back then, they literally cultivate them for a living) and remove the alcohol, everything else they eat is keto friendly, hell they even had IF as a life style

everyone wait until they see a _real_ Paleolithic diet

Yummy

As an American, I was reading a comment from a Canadian, who was eating pancakes with real maple syrup.

As a Russian, reading this made me make potato soup with a nice steak
