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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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 😅
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?
They sang and played instruments if they had them. They played games similar to what we'd consider 'party games'. Board and card games were popular, and dice games (along with gambling, which was usually illegal). Of course, there was always gossip, which was highly frowned upon by chroniclers (which were mostly monks or clergy). For the aristocracy that could afford books or to employ troubadour's, the late medeival period is when courtly Romances and the stories that make up the Arthurian canon and tales of Robin Hood became popular. People didn't have as much free time on their hands as well. Farming, tending animals, and crafting all took up time, and when the sun went down, most people went to sleep. Firelight and rush lights (reeds dipped in tallow) were the most common lighting for peasants. Candles, especially beeswax, were expensive.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.

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.
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. Great video.
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!!!😊😊😊
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
Considering that fields were fertlised by all kinds of manure (and that's just the start), eating raw vegetables would indeed make you sick. And possibly give you worms if you didn't already have them. As for raw fruit. all it takes is one fly to go from the dungheap to your nice shiny apple. Washing your food? In the same water people drank ale and small beer to avoid drinking? Not much help there! Even today there are pretty frequent recalls of lettuce, for example, due to bacterial or even faecal contamination. Salads. Not even once. Also please wash your hands and your veggies!
natural springs are common in england (at least). i imagine/guess they would have been highly valued/prized, albeit likely sited far too low in the land for any defendable castle to be built around.
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.

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.
Great video! The nobility could give two flips about the peasantry. The peasants were on their own and could starve to death for all the nobility care, except: then, who would do the actual work? Those nobles aren't going to till the fields *themselves*, it's beneath their birthright. In France they killed them all, but not in England.

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.

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.
It's kinda funny that smoked fish, bacon and even plain fish was peasant food , nowadays all of the aforementioned foods are really expensive expensive
I’m American. I spent a semester abroad in Wales and traveled throughout the UK back in 1989. I don’t know about now, but back then it was rare to find salads. I still think of British food as largely cooked and largely heavy on meat and starches. Perhaps with the rise in veganism, things have improved. I’m vegan know for 8 years. I would love to return to the UK to see if there are more plant-based options and more fresh salads.
Funny. Because the culinary practice of inundating salad greens with olive oil, vinegar, and a dust of sea-salt goes back to Greco-Roman times. (And the Romans occupied Britain for over 400 years.)
I didn't realise there was a name for it, but whenever I'm sick I concoct a kind of pottage from whatever I have in stock and it really helps. If I'm especially dehydrated or nauseous, I thin it down. Peasant, I think not!
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.
I honestly don't know where the idea that medieval peasants survived on gruel for every meal came from. They had a hard working life often working for way more hours than we do (if you factor in stuff like cooking, cleaning, domestic chores, etc) as well as performing some very hard physical labour. Their diets would need to be hearty and filling otherwise they'd be dropping dead of malnutrition left and right before the harvest could be brought in and the local lord would be in a bind then.
I have often had the same thought , and wonder if this 100% gruel diet is a modern misconception and popular portrayal . . It also seems to be a common opinion that they never washed, but I doubt this also . If you look at genuine contemporary illustrations of life at that time , nearly all the men appear clean shaven , so presumably had access to razors and some kind of lather .
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.

Very interesting video! How much dairy on average would a peasant consume? Was it a main part of meals, or more of a condiment? Also interested in the same question regarding vegetables.
It was a significant but not huge element of rural output: milk obviously couldn't be kept for long, so cheese was the only way to make it last. Another limitation is that in this period oxen were far more important than dairy cows: Domesday indicates barely a quarter of a million non-draught cattle (against more than twice as many ploughbeasts), which may be an under-estimate but even if most were cows, they were still fewer relative to population than half a millennium later. Vegetables would be a common element of peasant dishes, livening up an otherwise humdrum gruel or complementing more special fare when it was available, but we've even less idea of the quantities consumed even into modern times: our first estimate of intake comes from Gregory King who puts "fruits, roots and garden produce" at just under 6% of the value of food in 1695, a proportion that may not be far removed from that of the later middle ages.

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
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. 😢

Here's an example:

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

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. :)

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
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.
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 😅

@@xotleti I fuck wit y'all slav niggas
just like today
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?
@@sarahmeadows8131 lot of gossip. Gossip was a scourge of those times
The rich people probably talked smack about the poor and the poor would probably talk smack about the rich.
They sang and played instruments if they had them. They played games similar to what we'd consider 'party games'. Board and card games were popular, and dice games (along with gambling, which was usually illegal). Of course, there was always gossip, which was highly frowned upon by chroniclers (which were mostly monks or clergy). For the aristocracy that could afford books or to employ troubadour's, the late medeival period is when courtly Romances and the stories that make up the Arthurian canon and tales of Robin Hood became popular.
People didn't have as much free time on their hands as well. Farming, tending animals, and crafting all took up time, and when the sun went down, most people went to sleep. Firelight and rush lights (reeds dipped in tallow) were the most common lighting for peasants. Candles, especially beeswax, were expensive.
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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.
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.

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".

Scholars consider the pandemic a great blessing, considering its longterm impact on society.

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.

Considering that fields were fertlised by all kinds of manure (and that's just the start), eating raw vegetables would indeed make you sick. And possibly give you worms if you didn't already have them. As for raw fruit. all it takes is one fly to go from the dungheap to your nice shiny apple. Washing your food?

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.

It's kinda funny that smoked fish, bacon and even plain fish was peasant food , nowadays all of the aforementioned foods are really expensive expensive
6:55 " around 200 million people died" - maybe 20 million died? , because Europe's population at that time was around 75 million.
I’m American. I spent a semester abroad in Wales and traveled throughout the UK back in 1989. I don’t know about now, but back then it was rare to find salads. I still think of British food as largely cooked and largely heavy on meat and starches. Perhaps with the rise in veganism, things have improved. I’m vegan know for 8 years. I would love to return to the UK to see if there are more plant-based options and more fresh salads.
Funny. Because the culinary practice of inundating salad greens with olive oil, vinegar, and a dust of sea-salt goes back to Greco-Roman times. (And the Romans occupied Britain for over 400 years.)
I didn't realise there was a name for it, but whenever I'm sick I concoct a kind of pottage from whatever I have in stock and it really helps. If I'm especially dehydrated or nauseous, I thin it down. Peasant, I think not!
XD XD To be fair you have other options than just porriage
@@berilsevvalbekret772 pottage not porridge.
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.
I honestly don't know where the idea that medieval peasants survived on gruel for every meal came from. They had a hard working life often working for way more hours than we do (if you factor in stuff like cooking, cleaning, domestic chores, etc) as well as performing some very hard physical labour. Their diets would need to be hearty and filling otherwise they'd be dropping dead of malnutrition left and right before the harvest could be brought in and the local lord would be in a bind then.
I have often had the same thought , and wonder if this 100% gruel diet is a modern misconception and popular portrayal . . It also seems to be a common opinion that they never washed, but I doubt this also . If you look at genuine contemporary illustrations of life at that time , nearly all the men appear clean shaven , so presumably had access to razors and some kind of lather .
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.
God I love tuckin' into one of thee blokes stories before bed
Love this channel, great commentary and very thorough! Thanks! =)
Great images to accompany an excellently narrated and well done content
I've given three medieval lectures to the genealogical society, and I've used many of those same pictures!
@@GeraldM_inNC great job pairing visuals with content. I am certain your audience appreciated them. Good to know you cared enough about your audience to take the time selecting and editing your presentation. Hope you have many more good experiences with your presentations. Have an excellent day sir.
Henry I of England did not rule during the10th Century as stated in the video. He ruled 1100-1135 which is the 12th Century. English kings ruled during the 10th Century (the Norman Conquest did not take place until the second half of the 11th Century).
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.
I just found your channel and ❤ING it ! I'm binge watching all your videos so much I might need a fast myself 😂
There is so much info here, I might watch it twice.
Amusing and well done. There are many specific books and programs on the topic, but this provides a fairly balanced over-view.
Imagine not having a Co-op. Anywhere. Go on. Imagine it. Terrifying
We'd go to Costa Coffee instead obviously 🙄
😄3:54 this is not an image from Middle Ages, this is how life of a russian peasant looked like in the beginning of 20th century (at least that's what my grandma told me about her youth)
Half of the images don't match the period the narration is describing at that point in the video. I expect it's quite difficult to source enough examples, especially for the Early Medieval.
Thank you for sharing your craft through these stories! Found this channel via Weird History ❤
Wow. This makes Vienna Sausages sound good. Thanks for the post. It’s really good. I can’t stop watching.
Cozy and informative, great channel! God bless.
It is nothing short of miraculous that mankind has survived its nastiness...
AI will be pretty nasti, you'll find.
Very interesting video! How much dairy on average would a peasant consume? Was it a main part of meals, or more of a condiment? Also interested in the same question regarding vegetables.
It was a significant but not huge element of rural output: milk obviously couldn't be kept for long, so cheese was the only way to make it last. Another limitation is that in this period oxen were far more important than dairy cows: Domesday indicates barely a quarter of a million non-draught cattle (against more than twice as many ploughbeasts), which may be an under-estimate but even if most were cows, they were still fewer relative to population than half a millennium later.
Vegetables would be a common element of peasant dishes, livening up an otherwise humdrum gruel or complementing more special fare when it was available, but we've even less idea of the quantities consumed even into modern times: our first estimate of intake comes from Gregory King who puts "fruits, roots and garden produce" at just under 6% of the value of food in 1695, a proportion that may not be far removed from that of the later middle ages.
Stock fish is a major part in west african cooking also !
It's so refreshing to see a video NOT sponsored by Hello Fresh
You’re videos are always historically accurate, and often funny, I just subscribed. Keep up the great work.
He indulges in quite a bit of pop history. It's... not spectacularly accurate.
