Fish wasn't considered 'meat; because fish apparently 'didn't bleed'..... it was believed that meat comes from meat.... meaning if you ate to much red meat you'd want to have more sex, and sex makes babies which is 'meat'.... and unsactioned sex which was sex on any day that was marked as 'not allowed' which was half the year... was a huge no no... basically the whole thing is a dumb idea that you could curb desires by making people eat less red meat..... medieval times had strange ideas
I loved the Georgian Come Dine With Me with George III hosting first and holding up a tree branch while asking if anyone wanted a steak from his beef tree. Meanwhile his heir, the future George IV, then says through gritted teeth "If all the fathers in the world he had to be mine". Then when Beau Brummell hosts George III was parking his imaginary kangaroo. When the future George IV hosts he puts on a sumptious 20 course meal with service francaise which means that the food is just put on the table for diners to help themselves.
@@chrisrudolf9839 I learned that this tradition of not eating meat on Fridays started in the old days so as to not confuse the meat used by pagans for their rituals, or at least something along those lines. In understanding, pagans in the old days would take meat from anyplace they could get it, and offer it to their gods, essentially from what I understood the animal of where the meat came from would then be considered already offered to their gods. And the laws of the Jewish people forbade them from eating the meat of an animal sacrificed in the name of another god. Something along those lines this tradition ended up with catholics not eating meat on Fridays.
I enjoy this show Immensely, but good LORD, im sooooo glad i wasn't born during ANY period of time from the past. I have a better appreciation for the present. Not a whole new or complete one. Just better than the one i had b4 i started watching. However, i would like to visit different periods to satisfy curiosities, get/find answers to mysteries and answers in general
Tegen Vloeken while i do appreciate and respect your feelings regarding the use of the word "Lord", it is not, i repeat, it is NOT a word solely reserved 4 or identified as a religious entity despite how its used. the same applies to the word "god" whether the "g" is uppercase or lower. unless i say something specific like, "Lord Jesus CHRIST" & a religious entity appears asking me to cease & desist its use, there shouldn't BE an issue
@MsThemuh Fish being not considered meat was purely down to a loophole in catholic dogma. It was forbiddin to eat any 'Beast of the land' on fridays, but since fish were creatures of the water, that was okay. Incidently, the same logic made it okay to eat beavers on fridays
No reason to get aggravated at all. People in medieval times were not as stupid as to believe that fish weren't fully living creatures or that their bodies weren't made out of essentially the same stuff as mammals. Those religious rules weren't about not eating animals and not about dieting, either, but about restraining yourself from enjoying rich meals on that day. Fish was mostly considered poor people's food in medieval times, thus it wasn't included under the "no meat" rule. Same reason as why usually anyone living by the sea or by a river was allowed to fish while only noblemen were allowed to hunt most kinds of game.
"Hope everyone liked bread and water!" Actually they drank lots of beer, or ale I'm not sure that there is a difference, because the water supply could kill you and ate better than some noblemen.
Well, medieval people did lots of strange things in order to be able to eat meat when you're actually not allowed to. These Catholic rules are also the reason people invented pasta squares with meat in them - they just wanted to hide the dead animal's flesh from God by wrapping them in pastry ;)
Why was the student monk's "vow of silence" gesture a MODERN gesture (pretending to close his mouth with a zipper: a twentieth-century invention), rather than the age-old finger-on-the-lion, which the monks vowed to silence ACTUALLY used then and still use now?
meat is not to be consumed on ANY friday of the year... though it may happen from time to time that you end up eating meat, especially if you're an university student and have to eat what's left in the fridge... ^.^
Yes. It is a prohibition, like not eating pork if you are Muslim or Jewish. They make it sound silly in this video, but I imagine the same is the case for pork if you don't follow those faiths.

I wish they revived this show. I really, really love it!!!
Even if they do remake it it wont be the same

This is probably one of my favorite Horrible Histories skits!
"Most of the fish float on the surface for some reason "
And what do you suppose that reason is?😉
@@williambenstead1925 Because the water is DISGUSTING!
Oh how I miss the Medieval times. When hygiene was terrible and people had no idea that fish was technically meat.
Some still don't.
Could not have done this without David Lamb doing the voice over !
Lamb? Seems like he has a reason to a advocate for meatless Fridays. His relatives are safe for now!
Punkwrestle lol
Favourite is my mum in bed with her friends and family
LOL the plague guy is propped up at the table too
"Lady Cranky Portculis" 😂😂
Imagine what the peasant lady's episode would be like
And would they bring the dead guy?

+kingyn Meat! I mean neat!
So... people's birthdays would tend to be in the no-sex part of the year? Presuming that people followed the church rules of course?
Storylover I know it’s bizarre. But what king is saying is true🤷♀️
Lol I love these old timey rules
Ohhh... So I'm guessing that where *Cough* THAT phrase comes from.
The plague victim is the best...the way he just dies and still sits with them at the table. Oh and the monks fart...Bahahaahahahah!!!!!!!!!!
This is funny and educational at the same time!
The pope at the time was from a family heavily involved in the fishing industry that's ehy fish is ok on Friday
Is that were good friday comes from??
No wonder fish & chip shops are busy on Fridays.
And also why McDonald's has the Fillet-O-Fish.
They also ate beavers as well. They even classified them as fish!! O_O
Go figure on that one.......
@@Jakegothicsnake they live in the water too. Remember, the bible thinks bats are birds. Judaism and christianity aren’t exactly based to science.

In my country many people still don't eat meant on Fridays and it was very usual before 50 years!
[it was not forbidden but just a kind of tradition]
Me too in Italy
That tradition is still quite common in countries or regions with a majority of the population being catholic.

When I was growing up it was just during lent...
I read some historical evidences that some Middle Age people eat bread with oil.
Nice.
Rexory AJ Funnily, i just ate a slice of bread dipped in olive oil, as I couldn’t find butter.
@@EdricHsu add some balsamic vinegar
@@EdricHsu You're trying a "ye olde arabic snack from the Middle Age".
That's true!
@Hedgehog good, i might try it at home now
I think It's rather common in Greece and Italy even today? Olive oil and white bread us really nice 😄

MARVIA35 I appreciate your comment. Just one thing: Choose wisely what you say!
The writers have such fun with the names of characters I swear to god
Many Catholics still eat fish every Friday. "Noticed the fish are floating on the surface for some reason anyway." LOL!
This is why they begged the pope to count beavers as fish. Good for the people, but it led to the extinction of beavers in Britain.
In Malta (where i live) some people still keep the "no meat on fridays" rule
Sonic the Hedgehog: *hears that Medieval Rich people they eat hedgehog* Well, I better get going!
lol. Love the bit when the man collapses right on her. lol
Baaaahaha, Lady Cranky Portcullis....
With that medieval hygiene it sure is!!!!
This is a very cool show. Too bad they don't have it here in the States.
It's amazing when you think about it, even to this very day that tradition is practiced, as in so many restaurants having fish specials on Fridays.
i'm christian catholic and in between march and april we have 40 days that every friday we can't eat meat , only fish and veggies !
This so funny me and my mom laughed so hard
Cool show! And useful in acquiring the English accent... (Which I think is a bit exaggerated here, but I still love it!) :D

Funny thing is that Medieval English nobles would be speaking French and have French accents.
I'm watching this on a Friday haha🙈😺😸😹
Are you eating meat?
Fish IS meat. Reading on medieval times, and their insistance that fish is not meat, just aggravates me... great video :D
No it isn't meat. Vegetarians eat fish.
Lola MacGregor Piscetarians eat fish, but not meat. Vegetarians don't eat meat or fish.
since fish IS meat. Meat is the flesh of a living animal.

"Hope everyone liked bread and water!" Actually they drank lots of beer, or ale I'm not sure that there is a difference, because the water supply could kill you and ate better than some noblemen.
Not always
Same here mate. Not a catholic myself, more of a nondenominational protestant.
Now I know why so many people became protestants! lol

They REALLY ate hedgehog!
...so?
They seem to do that every time, amazing, the Medivel English and Ancient Romans didn't get to order Pizzas...
That was great!
The moral of the story is: when trapped in Medieval Europe, eat with the peasants; a yeoman if you must have meat on special occasions.
Why was the student monk's "vow of silence" gesture a MODERN gesture (pretending to close his mouth with a zipper: a twentieth-century invention), rather than the age-old finger-on-the-lion, which the monks vowed to silence ACTUALLY used then and still use now?
Next you'll be telling us that they didn't have come dine with me back then.
In my book fish will always be considered meat to me.
That's what I think too. So why is she getting fish, when that could be considered meat too?
what did the noble say when he reached the top of the toilet shoot after trying to sneak in a castle?
Poo wee!
Ya numpty!
😂 Lady Cranky Portculis
What is that funny hat called?, If anybody knows, please tell me the answer.
Good day everybody.
This fish is fresh from our moat!
He's the real commentator from the real show

Well whaddya know, it's also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for gambling purposes.

We still Don't eat Meat on Friday.

so a 2 0 and 10....there were 3 people so the average score was 4/10
fish from the moat , eww lol
1:41. Monk doing a poo.
That's right, because not all Christianity is exactly alike.
Is that the real Dave Lamb narrating?
@98bigbutt We have it in Canada... That sucks that you guys don't have it
Yes. Yes it is.
I think I'd just skip this meal and eat grass.
RIP Sonic the Hedgehog.
So that’s what happened to the old design.
what a yucky...
haaaaaaa lol
Is that the same narrator?
Derek is laying dead on the table could they not take him out and bury him. So uncivilized! Haha.
true!!
wth my teacher sent me this
same
What happened with Marcus the Monk? He changed actors halfway through the skit!
No he didn’t. That’s Ben right the way through.
I saw this in school
@98bigbutt The American education system doesn't believe in being irreverent.
No Eating Hedgehogs Spnic Would Be Angry!
o man....hahaha!!!..
@Himaryous,Sadly you're right.
yes even so it is classed as meat so they shouldn't be aloud to eat it. any way you need a balnced diet witch means eating meat. so there you have it
Christianity is funny like that.
rich people ate that stuff?
But isn't fish considered meat???? I mean it is from a dead animal.....
You know Catholics still don't eat meat during lent?
Yes. It is a prohibition, like not eating pork if you are Muslim or Jewish. They make it sound silly in this video, but I imagine the same is the case for pork if you don't follow those faiths.
i like the books better
i don't like come dine with me but i love horrible histories come dine with me
Yeah, probably mostly because of meat ;)
or, Roman Catholicism is funny like that.
WTF!!!!????
@98bigbutt thats a good thing for the uk den 1(uk-0)usa)
