Can you imagine historians 1000 years from now! "The average American diet mainly consisted of McDonalds, Easy Mac and grape soda. Vegetables were rarely consumed only by what was known as vegans! It is also a misconception that Westerners of the 21st century did not drink water, they in fact did on occasion, however water consumed was usually diluted with cordial to mask the bland neutral taste!"
And don't forget, ALL of our food is laced with poisonous substances to make them last longer on the shelf and to make it cheaper than actually adding real ingredients!
Oh and, our water is laced with harmful substances because they want us dumb and docile! Thanks government regulations and corporations!
Cordial?
What is water Mr. Teacher?
The hell is easy mac?

Medieval peasants had places to dispose of their waste on the village's outskirts. They were also very cautious about soiling the water they were using. Some places were very affluent and the food was plentiful, some others were wretchedly poor. Life was very hard compared to today's Western standards, but there were a lot of solidarities, i.e. strong communities and tight-knit families.
Many villages still have streams called some variety of Shit Brook.

yeah it all depends on your lord, if he’s kind and doesn’t tax heavily then you’ll live decently but if you have a greedy or cruel lord then he could enforce anything
@@imlaughinq7445 Not in England, at least in the later middle ages. Serfs could and did take their lords to court.

1 chicken = 1 family meal OR somewhere around 500 eggs (over 2 years)...easy decision.
You have to provide it with food to get the eggs though. Although chickens can eat all the leftovers and non human edible bits.
@@epoh3334 chicken back then were allowed to go outside the yard at day to feed themselves. As long as it’s under 5 chicken, a small yard works. But then there are hawks.
@@epoh3334 Chickens are good foragers and will thrive on weeds and bugs outdoor, with supplemental food scraps. I don't feed my chickens anything extra beyond that nine months of the year. Though grit and calcium is always provided. In winter we bring them inside and give them scraps, dried weeds saved at the end of autumn, insect larvae and worms we grow indoors, and some sprouted seeds and grains. Now the indoors is not our living room like it was for European peasants. The winter henhouse is a shed built onto the house that is warmed with a small tent sized woodstove and lit with solar powered LED lights. We don't eat our chickens. We have coffee with them in the morning and a hot toddy or some ale at night.
@@GeckoHiker That sounds lovely
Not in those days: you'd be lucky to get 150 with pre-modern yields. But I'd still opt for the eggs. :)
Among the scariest words in the English language are “it’s considered a delicacy.”
For some people im considered a "delicacy"
Truly horrifying.
You got that right!!!
Some people are just flat out delusional when it comes to 'delicacies'
I laughed hard by this. Thank you.
There were also different 'food fashions' or how do you call it.
In England, salmon was seen as ordinary food.
There were even rules that stipulated that a landlord could not feed his tenants salmon every day of the week.
Lobster, at least in the USA, was seen as ghastly food only fit for paupers (of course not MiddleAges but it does show how nowadays 'luxury food' was once regarded as paupers' food.
Are you fond of me lobster?
Almost all food nowadays is turning into luxury. 😢
@@ahnatanha No joke there's videos now of "toasted flour soup", AKA gruel.
Here's an example:
ruclips.net/video/o699dS2us1w/видео.html
Perhaps they would have gone for 'Rocky Mountain oysters'...
My parents grew up fishing salmon from the Scottish rivers so they never saw it as a luxury food and would not pay the price it became
It's so important to remember how hard and terrible life used to be. It makes modern life much more tolerable
depends on who you are and where u live.
@@scottym3233 True, I guess I was talking to Westerners working class and up
We should enjoy it while it can still be enjoyed, the WEF will take it all away from the working people.
Also important to remember that those people who lived back the didn't k own any better. In their minds, they had it far better than the ancient peoples who came even before them. It's all about perspective. In the far future people may look at our time and say the exact same thing about us.
these people worked hard only during the summer, then they chilled hard af during the winter and work days ended when the sun was nearing the end of the day... this was more chill than some jobs now
Imagine if they could see the variety of food available to us nowadays. People get stressed when a ready meal isn’t ready quick enough but those medieval folk had to put in a graft to get those meals prepared.
I think it's unjust to compare our lives to theirs. Usually in most Spanish houses at the time, only the men were out in the fields while the women were inside the house cooking or performing other chores, so the this division of labor meant that once the men finished their tasks for the day and returned home, food would already be served. This division of labor just doesn't exist anymore in a lot of places, so we have a less efficient usage of time. Not to mention a lot of people simply live alone or with vastly different schedules, so the age old tradition of eating a large meal with the household is not feasible anymore.
Not sure about that. I can make a porridge in 10 minutes. Just a little more if I have to use wood for fire.
"Variety of food" by that do you mean different Asian cultures take on sweetened chicken?
What's a graft? Hard work? I'm American. Is that British slang?
@@terminator572 trash take my guy
Sitting here eating a fresh salad...what have I done?! My humors!
Whatever they put on salads was whatever they can get from the crops and it didn't always taste the same
There is a family story from my father's side that our ancestor who came to the US from europe was a peasant. He would often remark that in the old country "there was hardly a mouthful of meat per person per year, and it could only be swallowed with the baron's permission." This was passed down, as was a story about the German and irish immigrants greeting him in the US by throwing bricks. He was a slavic serf, so the other immigrants hated him.
Welcome to the new West...seems they're after the peasants' meat again...
I was thinking about something similar while watching the video. This is the history of my dad's side of the family too - also Slavic. They were peasants from Ruthenia. Turns out most of the world dislike slavs 😅
Just checking in, cause im so sleepy. You're doing great things
@@xotleti I fuck wit y'all slav niggas
just like today
I found this extremely interesting, as it dispelled many myths regarding food from the middle ages and also provided factual Information giving a glimpse into medieval life, especially where it was related to food.
what I really want to know is what they talked about these large dinners. like, what kinds of conversations were these people having? what did they sound like?
Probably about work, harvest, locations to find berries stuff like that
Same things they talk about now? People they know, gossip -what else?
Medieval food wasn't that bad. Just alot of porridge. Sometimes fresh salmon, mushy peas and sorrel sauce on a whole grain bread. Also alot of spices that we've forgotten about nowadays. And sweet and sour sauces.
What exactly is porridge? I've always thought of it as a style of oatmeal? (I hate oatmeal.)
@@rosequartz4102 Its just that but with random edible grains like barley and rye instead of oatmeal. Like oatmeal but not necessarily with oats. Oatmeal is a type of porridge. Porridge is not a type of oatmeal.
It was healthy, but probably barely enough calorie content to provide energy needed for hard work.
@@adrianaslund8605 Eeek. I don't think I could handle that.
@@marelicainavokado Tbf, it wasn’t meant to give you energy, but to fill you up, so that you weren’t hungry and could make it to lunch or supper.
This is brilliant, the detailed pictures, so many of them and never repeated, the dramatic and atmospheric music. I feel like I'm in a time machine looking through the window at my past life.
Do you think they were real pictures from way back when or just fabrications?
So naïf.
@@TucsonDudegenuine.
Looking at town records of late Medieval Aberdeen and Inverness, it’s quite clear that people did not routinely dump their slop buckets in the same pool they took water from. There are numerous references to “the foul pool”, which was also the receptacle for industrial waste like dyer’s byproducts.
yeah I thought this guy was pretty uncharitable in general when it came to discussing peasants living conditions. I dont think it was as rough as he describes.
@@kuroshthegreat8073 Medieval people took great pride in keeping their “linen” (big linen shirts) clean and white. (Linen whitens in the sun. And the UV helps sterilise it further.) The shift ir sark that was their underwear was a full-body barrier between them and the (usually woollen, in the UK) outer clothes. They also often unstitched their clothes before laundering (much of it was only sewed with a running stitch) to make sure the nooks and crannies were washed free of any skin parasites.
@@kuroshthegreat8073 It's less bias more acknowledging the hardship these peasant class had. Depending on the time and country the cities could be much cleaner or absolutely filfhy.
That makes sense, I was a little sceptical at the idea of people thriving on such a horrendously polluted water source, even if they mostly drank it as alcohol
By the 1200s for sure in England, towns had ordinances requiring tanneries to be located at the furthest downstream edge of town. Dyers were usually one step nearer.
It is hard to imagine how horrible living conditions were back then. Life really was miserable back then.
We truly live in paradise now.
The sad reality is that is the history of humanity. Doesn’t matter that this is medieval England, the same would be true for peasants/surfs in India, China, Russia etc.
A paradise of taxes, cold homes, food banks, etc etc paradise yeh right
It's going back to how it was then
Funny I was thinking the opposite! Life today is so fake and plastic
The Gre,at,Re,SET being pushed now is to go back and is called Neo-Feudalism
You forgot to mention that what the Medieval people thought were consider fish we would categorize as birds and mammals. For example, they thought geese were fish due to scaly feet and being born in the water and beavers because of their scaly tails and webbed feet. 🤔
I don't think it was until much later that beaver was considered fish. When the Europeans came to North America to trap, the Pope decreed that beavers were fish so that the trappers could eat them during lent.
Same with the large and gentle rodents capybara in Latin America. Because they spend much of their life in and around water.
Alligator is also on the Lenten menu
And not a citation was shared by OP but by god idiots took it hook & line.
@@justtime6736 If a hook and line was used, then idiots must be fish. However, there's no such thing as a 🐟
My mom saw traditional pig butchery and nose to tail use when she was a kid in rural Hungary in the 1960s. She also used to go foraging for mushrooms and berries with her grandmother. Makes me wonder how else the people then could relate to the medieval life.
Probably very much so. Look up footage of remote villages in places like the caucusus mountains and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. Even today these ppl aren't much more advanced than ppl from the middle ages. They might have a radio and lantern and maybe can barter for cigarettes and second hand modern clothing but precious few modern luxuries like these they're pretty much still in the 1100s.
@@loganstroganoff1284They are self sufficient however!
Scholars consider the pandemic a great blessing, considering its longterm impact on society. It put an end to the most abusive aspects of feudalism, and the lot of the lower classes improved immensely. They enjoyed far more legal rights, and were started being able to save enough money to ascend into yeomanry.
@@lunaxquinn Well, this needs to be seen. I would assume that the lower classes suffered most from the black death, simply because they were malnourished. Only after there were simply less of them, there lives improved slowly.
@@stefangeschke7604 probably improved rather quickly as soon as there were less of them because they finally had more leverage over the feudal lords who now desperately needed the work to get done
@@lunaxquinn it had some similarities and positive effects though (at least in the short term, probably not so much long term)
@@lunaxquinn Hardy anyone died in this covid pandemic in comparison to the black death.
@@bristoled93 as bad as COVID’s been, true
Learned on a tour of a castle in England that when the potato was first introduced to the English nobles the cooks didn’t know to remove the roots. When cooked with the root it made everyone sick and vomit. The queen banned potatoes and it took a couple decades for them to be accepted.
🏍️ There were no 🍯 potatoes until Columbus. No coffee, no cocoa, and no horses in all the Americas, until Columbus.
@@mikethebike2456 Columbus brought 3 things, Diseases that the Indigenous peoples had no immunity from, yes Horses and control in the form of christianity to break down cultural, familial and political ties.
Potatoes, tomatoes, chiles, beans, corn, chocolate were all New World gifts from the Americas to Europe. Coffee was from Africa particularly Ethiopia.
@@smrtnz5995potatoes came from Ireland and they invented them along with shoes!
not quite the right story but almost there.
The feudal system to a large extent existed right up until the late 1700's, even into the 1800s. France 1789, Scotland 1799, Prussia (German state)1807, Russia 1886. My mother who was born in Yugoslavia, had a great grandmother who was an aristocrat in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. She owned land in what is modern day Bosnia and Serbia. She still owned serfs who worked the silver mines and cloth mills up until 1848.
And what happened in Russia in 1886? 🤔
Looks like you owe some reparations sir
@@teutonicterror0365 you mean 1861 then?
@@sailorv8067 Bruh. My bad, of course you´re right
@@loganstroganoff1284 Lol, this was over 270 years ago. I never knew any of these people. I don't even live in the same country they did. The country they lived in does not even exist any more. Not sure you have much understanding of history. Stupid modern Americans with your insane political nonsense. Go burn down a shop in Portland or something.
i'm surprised that lent didn't turn into a rich man's thing, it seems kind of insane that workers had to participate in fasting when you kinda need them to work for society to function..
It would make more sense for lent fasting to be like lawns, something you do as much as you can to show how rich you are that you don't need to work.
rich people have, historically speaking, prefered being fat and pale skinned as evidence of not needing to work, as well as wearing clothing unsuitable for such dirty activity, and being surrounded by servants and/or slaves. these people ain't gonna engage in an anorexia contest. that is for nuns and monks who hate their corporeal forms.
Mostly because Lent fasting was moved to Fridays only, seeing as how such a drop in nutrition would be harmful to the body.
That's an interesting thought, Lent being show of wealth. I guess religion dictated, and it applied to all who wanted to see Heaven. Teachers like students like you.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
The rules of lent is such. Children and the elderly are "allowed" to eat red meat during lent. If you was sick or weak from recent illness. You were "allowed" to eat red meat. If you had nothing to eat at all then eating meat was also allowed. Lent is an obligation. If you fail at lent it was not and still is not considered a sin. Neither was fasting. The reason you're not allowed to eat red meat during lent, Because meat was a very rare treat. So a peasant would not go under go any extra stress.
5:59 Which is where we get the term "Go whole hog!". If you were caught poaching, you'd likely be killed. So why kill some hare or pheasant and die for it, when you can kill a big, fat, juicy scrumptious boar and feed them a whole lot longer.
Oh my. That’s a sad origin of going whole hog but it sounds reasonable.
The fatal consequences of theft also gave rise to the aphorism, "May as well hang for a sheep as a lamb".
Life of a poacher bandit.

Amazing anyone actually survived the brutal conditions people lived in back then ! Makes me grateful I var born in a time, of great hygiene,plenty of food, and not having to work 24/7 just to live on scraps.
It wasn't as dirty or awful as people make it out to be. Yeah you wanna be born now but most of the awful stuff is made up by Victorians to make Medieval people seem barbaric and dirty.
Well, it certainly was pretty rough. Today we have pain meds if we are in pain, infections can get under control, you don’t get ripped apart on a wheel, or put in stocks. Allthough that might still be a worthwhile punishment for certain criminals :) I’ve always had a facination for that time period, but always marvelled at how much people could survive!

Great video! The channel ModernHistoryTV has some excellent videos about medieval food for different orders of society (and they cook a couple of dishes). The peasants ate much healthier food than the nobles!
Brilliant content. In my capacity as a teacher,, I may use this in my Grade 7 History class. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your craft through these stories! Found this channel via Weird History ❤
Fun fact, people ate pigeons instead of chicken. Pigeons were in fact domesticated for meat, and city pigeons in the US are actually these same domesticated meat birds that used to be eaten instead of chickens.
This is also why dovecotes were commonplace in farms and manor houses across Europe. The birds were a source of eggs as well as meat, and their manure was useful as a fertiliser.
Wow didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing.
Pigeons are still eaten but referred to as roast SQUAB!
The ancient writings of squire Baldrick suggest dung was often consumed with a small turnip for dessert.

1. Bring us in no brown bread, for that is made of bran,
Nor bring us in no white bread, there therein is no game;
But bring us in good ale.
2. Bring us in no beef, for there is many bones,
But bring us in good ale, for that goes down at once;
And bring us in good ale.

But bring us in good ale, and give us enough of that;
And bring us in good ale.
4. Bring us in no mutton, for that is often lean,
Nor bring us in no tripes, for they be seldom clean;
And bring us in good ale.
5. Bring us in no eggs, for there are many shells,
But bring us in good ale, and give us nothing else;
And bring us in good ale.
6. Bring us in no butter, for therein are many hairs;
Nor bring us in no pig's flesh, for that will make us boars;
And bring us in good ale.
7. Bring us in no puddings, for therein is all God's good;
Nor bring us in no venison, for that is not for our blood;
And bring us in good ale.
8. Bring us in no capon's flesh, for that is often dear;
Nor bring us in no duck's flesh, for they slobber in the mere;
And bring us in good ale.

Great video. Thanks for posting.
Makes me thankful for our modern advances in food
Where I live the food is still. Like this.
GMOs have definitely been a blessing. Even then, American corporations destroy 30% of its food. Corporations get billions of subsidizes if they destroy there groceries at the day of expiration. Instead, it should go to the poor, but that’s capitalism! 🤡
@@KarlMarxFanClub Why should it go to the poor?
Your small-mindedness & blessing heart liberal ideology is fatally flawed & you haven't even thought about your positions in life for even 30 seconds or the side to be on would've come to you! Typical liberal though...
When they've tested your theory they found that eventually when people realized they could get food for doing NOTHING, too many people resulted to doing NOTHING to be fed.
The idea being "Why work when they're feeding you to do nothing whatsoever?". Sound familiar?
Remind you of the welfare state in America?
Many poc's won't even marry because they take into account both incomes then! So don't tell me "it's only a theory" when it's been in direct testing for decades now in America.
So NO they shouldn't just give away food without ANY sacrifice. The people do NOT attach any value to the food just like they don't attach any value to selling their food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar.
Hopefully one day you've not rotted away your brain & you too can think on the side of truth.
Never thought about the dark cloud of the Plaugue having a silver lining.
The Church only took 10%? Wish my taxes were only 10%!
These Peasants could have had it worse, they could be eating McDonalds.

do more! i like your videos a lot. something to compare our current lifestyle to.
very sobering and refreshing info
A lot of it is incorrect - for example, they did NOT throw their shit into the water they drank from. They would be severely punished for this. Sadly this mostly trots out the stereotypes of the terribly harsh "short and brutal" life of peasants.
Wow. This makes Vienna Sausages sound good. Thanks for the post. It’s really good. I can’t stop watching.
Very good. Complete, enjoyable.
Fun fact, the people were highly afraid of a "rabbit uprising" as a result of the way they were hunted and kept
Yup, hare seemed quite violent and rapacious, some weird folk tales about them were around. Male hare especially can fight a trapper in the last moments, and their mating seemed nonconcentual.
The food is 200% better than what we eat now
really good advice when facing what we face. thank you.
Love all your videos so informative.👍🇬🇧👍
One day someone will make a video about this era and what we did in it
Civilization 1,000 years ago depends on where they are, have access to real food. They can cook food themselves and were able to buy them.
But remember this citizens. Those archaic food are by no mean as tasty and cheap as Imperial storehouse ration meal bars we have today. Soylent green are made with the freshest ingredients…etc and etc.
Notice how, no matter how poor they might be, the serfs did not (intentionally) eat insects. Thanks, Klaus, for wanting us to be worse off than medieval peasants.
Humans are still Great Apes. Other Great Apes eat insects

When I lived in Iceland, I regularly ate the Hardfiskur, which is a type of fish jerky preserved by salt and dried.
I love it a lot and really miss having it. I wish it was available in the UK, Canada, and US.
We have that over here in Norway as well, but we call it 'tørrfisk' (dry fish.) It's actually a genuine type of Viking food, and can be dated to as early as the 9th century.

Don't know where you live now, but there's a small shop in Portland Maine called "Simply Scandinavian " and they sell it! They have so many different foods from Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Sweden. It's my go to when I'm missing my home
We had similar when I lived in Portugal they called it baccalau and it was not bad tbh
They sell it in the uk
I love this channel!
Somehow made my day, fine documentary
It’s funny how ale was drank from a very young age but it was a more hygienic way to hydrate yourself than drinking from the local water source.
Very interesting. Intriguing to me how diets and food fads change so much over time. It does make you wonder, in the span of a life time, that we should simply eat foods that we really enjoy and NOT worry so much about long term nutrition. I do think strongly however, that generally the meat processing system is very cruel and perhaps not sanitary. But that is my choice. Thank you for a very knowledgeable video! I hope to see More!!!😊😊😊
Sounds like an excellent way to die of diabetes at thirty.
Great video! Thank you
Very nice, helpful info.
I love the video! I feel like your videos about daily life could have some more upbeat medieval music though. It’s always nice to be reminded that the people of medieval times had fun and felt the same joy and love that we do today.
Imagine not having a Co-op. Anywhere. Go on. Imagine it. Terrifying
We'd go to Costa Coffee instead obviously 🙄
Lol, "this is not sponsored by Hello Fresh"!! This is my new binging channel! Love your content!
I’m a minute and a half in and all my brain can conjure up is the clip of David Mitchell’s vicar character berating Olivia Coleman with the phrase “my kind have harvested the souls of a thousand peasants”
