  • A knight would often be expected to attend at a feast given by those of even higher standing than himself, perhaps a high ranking bishop or even the King. Food historian Chris Carr demonstrates the type of food the very wealthiest might bring out to entertain their noble guests. Jason draws some surprising conclusions at the end of his culinary journey through medieval society. #medieval #cooking #recipes

      Happens all over history; Crab and lobster used to be dirt cheap food, while sugary food was for the rich. Now, sugar is all over cheap food and fast food, while crab and lobster are high priced for the amount.
      Or, to get away from seafood; Simple organic local food used to be far less expensive than getting something shipped to your local grocer or refined. Now you pay out the nose at a Whole Foods for organic, while the cheap stuff is all outsourced and processed.
      Automation, transportation, and big business have turned our food world 180 degrees.

    • @mikealvas
      @mikealvas 5 років тому +72

      Have to add to this, a good example is sugar. We easily procure white sugar in our modern times but white sugar is considered for nobles, hence why all desserts/sweets are aristocratic food.
      This is the same for rice as well. White rice is considered extremely posh, and brown rice is easier to procure.

      It kind of makes sense, we're the working class. We're the modern equivalent to peasants. Peasants ate whatever was cheap and filling, nobles ate weird shit prepared in stupid ways just to flex on eachother. Modern day people eat whatever's cheap and filling, the rich eat weird shit, like fish eggs and steaks prepared in absurd ways just to flex on eachother.
      It's one of my favorite aspects of history - all the things that suggest human nature has pretty much always been the same. We've always loved fried food and booze. We've always looked for ways to entertain ourselves and make life a bit better. We've always mocked the rich and powerful just for the hell of it. Some of the oldest writing we have is ancient babylonian customer complaints. The oldest joke we have is a dick joke. There's "Antiochus hung out here with his girlfriend Cithera." scribbled on walls in pompeii and some viking guy carved "Halfdan was here" in the Hagia Sophia. Waffles were invented in the 12th century and the only things present in literally every culture on the planet are religion and meatballs. Heck, one of the most popular theories explaining all the weird medieval art we find of rabbits dueling snails and shit is that it was basically medieval shitposting.
      The world changes, but people stay the same.

      Andy Rattan that’s inaccurate. First its completely anachronistic to talk about « nations » in that context. Second, there were much more than a few dukes per kingdom. Just in the Kingdom of France at the same period , you had the dukes of Burgundy, of Aquitaine, of Brittany, duke of Narbonne, of Alençon, of Laon etc... Especially that afterwards, the titles became mostly held by the royal family.

      Yes, life was controlled by the church and sex outside of marriage was considered a SIN, but that my friend is why you paid the Indulgence - or sin tax. It didn't mean you didn't have SEX, it meant you had to cough up COINS after you repented.
      As far as big-titted, I think that is a personal choice. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few flat chested women and a couple of men thrown in there somewhere.

Good technique in preparing game for food was at the time considered a distinctive part of knightly manners.

    The way they divide up the venison is similar to how my dad and his friends/family divided up deer and fish they get. The person who shot the deer or caught the fish got the most, the person who owned the property the deer was shot on or owned the boat it was fished off of got next pick, those with families went next, and the rest was divided up. Everyone got equal portions and quality cuts eventually over the season so it ended up being a decent system. Of course owning property or a boat gave you an edge as far as getting second pickings.

    Actually the combination of meat, fruit, spices and custard exists in one dish, possibly the national dish of South Africa, called bobotie. It's minced lamb or beef with spices & raisins/currants, made as a meatloaf with sweet custard on top, all of which is roasted in an oven. This is probably a carry-over from post-medieval Europe brought by the Dutch to the Cape in the 1650s, it first appeared in a Dutch cookbook in 1609, although there are other theories that it was based upon Indonesian/Malay dishes but I believe it is an old medieval dish which then flourished in the Cape when it was a trading post of the Dutch East India Company, which made it's profit trading in spices from the far east.
