BA has the best narrators. This gentleman and the one other are perfect for the topics they present. This guy has a dry, droll delivery that's both sarcastic and funny. It never fails to make me laugh.
I looked up online on how the people in medieval times kept their meats fresh without fridges, they had some methods that we still use today. Thanks to the salt that people used for salting meats, the moisture was drawn from the meats and the bacterial growth was inhibited. Smoking and hanging the meats also helped, as well as storing meats in cool storages during the cold winter months. This combined with preserving other foods, like pickling and salting veggies and turning fruits into jams and preserves, helped a lot back then. Again, we still use these methods today. Despite the technology we use in factories for this, some people still rely on old fashioned methods of preserving foods, even if some methods had changed during the years.
Man I LOVE anything medieval! Especially the little things that aren’t discussed as much like simple foods. Maybe a video on how a serf would build their home and their daily life. Just an idea! Whatever you bust out will be fantastic as usual!
Fun fact - botulism is derived from the word botulismus or sausage poisoning, with botulus being latin for sausage. Because of the way sausages were made, stuffed full of meat and fat and eliminating oxygen with no refrigeration, Clostridium botulinum would grow rapidly before fermentation dropped the pH. The toxin formed is very heat stable so the toxin would survive the cooking process. Getting the pH down below 4.6 and keeping salt levels high would prevent C. bot from growing. Listeria though is salt and refrigeration temperature tolerant.
The idea of courses for meals wasn't a thing yet in the medieval. so having sweet dishes served alongside savoury wasn't unusual. If you were wealthy enough to have deserts, everything would be bought out at once. The banquet. Diners would just pick whatever they felt like trying at that moment.
"Honey and almond pizza"....there's such a thing as dessert pizza, you know? Also, olive oil and a few light spices on flatbread might be something interesting to try.
There have been flatbreads with oil and herbs for thousands of years in other parts of the world before italy called it pizza. Fish and dates were some of the earlier toppings too. Cheese on flatbread with dates originated in Persia in 600BC.
Unleavened bread, has been around since the Indus Valley citizenry, as yeast, had not been found then, and brewers yeast, was not good for proving dough, so it would rise.
Yeah, not being able to smell rotting meat, because of spices is not only ridiculous because of the price of spices at the time. But also, another thing I learned on your channel. The human nose is built to detect two scents above all else. The smell of arable land after rain. And rotting meat.
early pizza is known as focaccia and back then you can put any topping on this flatbread nowadays you can buy focaccia from any store so this shouldn't be on this list
A perpetual soup, or stew, is really nice, it gains in flavour, with each additional ingredient. Try it, to save some money,. If using meat, use a tough cut, the longer the cook time the softer the meat . Tansy, is a good herb, when the right bits are used, as the leaves, have been used to replace parsely in egg dishes - scrambled eggs. Use the bones to get the Bone Soup, which is the bone marrow, which in large bones, can be extracted and added to the soup. Bone soup, is very thick, greasy in a nice way, and rich in minerals like calcium & silica, for one strength. Lamprey pie - Lamprey eels may be rarer in Europe, they said to be a problemm in the 5 Great Lakes of North America.
We have an overabundance of lampreys in the states. They are everywhere in the Great Lakes. The slime that they have on their skin can be poisonous and make you sick if you don’t properly prepare before eating.
I like to imagine how a person from medieval times would react to modern junk food, it would probably be considered so good it would be witchcraft or something like that
Oddly, "a surfeit of lampreys" was given as the exact cause of death of old King John but it is also the title of a detective novel by Ngaio Marsh. Then there is "Eel Pie Island" in the Thames in Greater London which was known for, well, eel pies although it is now a refuge for wealthy artsy folk who desire some degree of privacy in the crowded city. Of course you could take a short road trip to Ely, which was apparently named for its slithery dish.
The part about medieval waffles was funny, because Oublies means Oversights in French, my language, and I find it absurd. Anyways, great video, as always.
And I thought popular mediaeval fast food would be of the rat on a stick variety. In actual fact, some of the food described here sounds fairly edible. I could manage an almond and honey pizza, it sounds like a pretty nice dessert with a bit of cream to go with it. Also, BRING BACK THE NAME OUBLIES FOR WAFFLES!
They're moving away from "Kraft Dinner" and to just "KD" branding with big orange letters. That aside... have a look at the ingredients in modern KD sometime. So, soooo much better than it used to be. It's nowhere near the "junk" food that it once was!
I hear a lot of people in the comments talking about that's not junk food that's hardly even food at all but you guys got to remember we nowadays have a lot of options and things that are more readily available to us than any place that a country had available to them in medieval times
@@yellowcatmonkey no it's not clickbait I mean in reality the guy was doing a video based off of what was considered junk food back then and it's just people in the comments are so used to what we have readily available to us in every single country nowadays compared to what things were like then no clickbait
@BeAmazed As for dolphins, one, back then, people classified dolphins as fish, and two, there is a type of fish called a dolphin fish. It's possible that dolphin fish may be what medieval chef's meant.
SINCE YOUVE CREATED a video for junk food.... MAYBE ITS TIME YOU CREATE ONE OFF PURE MEAL &FOOD THAT ARE MORE HEALTHIER AND CAN KEEP YOU SAFE OF DISEASE AND TOXINS.....❤
I used to make savoury pancakes with a mince and veg mix between each pancake, my other half's friend liked them so much she would show up on shrove Tuesday with the ingredients for me to cook 😂
Never miss an episode!!!! I be bored and craving Be Amazed ehen they dont upload a video i be going through every video tryna find one i havent watched before😂
My husband and I had a perpetual stew going for over a month, it was incredible that broth was unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. BUT DO NOT ADD SEAFOOD 😅
Man, I giggle when you mention blood in food. Please, come to Asia, we have at least 2 major forms of delicacy made of blood, they may not be sweet, but they're sure so damn delicious even without additional seasoning.
French Fries aren't really French either, it's just the name some of these things are given, infact I think than name of Chips we use in the UK is what really defines them as it's not French, the same way we have a different name for what's known in the US as Potato Chips
Looking at comments about the food, and they eat Mc Donalda, and allegedly before legislation about listing contents, the added protien in Mc burgers was maggots, indeed, now you know why they say 100% beef. It is amazing what you will eat when there is nothing else.
Not going to lie, the fish waffles sound pretty decent to me. I mean, I'd prefer if they just used pike *meat* and not *womb* specifically, but honestly that just sounds like a slightly more seafoody version of chicken and waffles.
Frankly, many foods that sound disgusting are delicious. I am almost always game to try stuff, but must know what I am trying otherwise I pass, while others rather not know.

The fact that italians hate dessert pizza is the most hilariously ironic thing considering that's the first italian recipe for pizza 😂
the tíny
(get it? tín? i used the accent like stress is on tinn-i yeah)

12:58 bone marrow is still served in high-end restaurant. I think it goes under “Oso Buco”?
My dad will eat anything, even medieval junk food.
A sausage roll is still the go-to snack for most people in the UK.
The peasants pies sounded alot better, not really fancying swan or beaver pie
4:32 yeah HARD pass
I'd try a honey and almond pizza. Why not. They're both good ingredients.
And they go good together.
I liked that you guys added the old animation and old animation styles. You really listen to your audience. Bravo.
this is the better narrator of the two
I completely agree!! The other guy's voice is too nasally, & kinda bugs me. I'm not sure, but I think they're brothers.
@AkiraCatt24 and the other one does these incredibly bad attempts at voices
This thumbnail goes hard.
3:06 why can't they still be called that
There should be a campaign to bring back the name oublies for waffles. It'd make a great name for a chain of waffle houses.
@@midnightmosesuk good idea
@@midnightmosesuk I'd sign up!

If there's a connection, I wonder why they called it that. I suppose I'd have to know what "oversights" meant in that day.
It could be referring to the smaller amounts of dough needed. Maybe trimmings
@@debbylou5729 So, "oversights" might mean the same as "leftovers"? Like, leftover dough?
@ I thought it’s possible
It was so bland that it was forgettable, "oublié" can also mean forgettable.
This the first thing I watch everyday when I come home lol😔👍
Honey and almond pizza just sounds like a depressing baklava with many less steps
To me waffles are made with potatoes and served for dinner with beans and sausages.
10:24 that soup will be older than EUROPE 🇪🇺 💀
You haven't seen Asian broth soups it's even before world war 1 or even started in the BC.
@@powerfulshammyTHAT SOUP HAS BEEN OLDER SINCE 1ST CENTURY
A soup older than you made me think for a while
3 days from last vid you just earned a new subscriber your the only youtuber i like rn
I agree. And Lighthouse Horror! The narrator is amazing.❤
@TheUnRealSlimShady69 sorry lol i misspell that alot

I watch this channel outside the house because it's entertaining and not embarrassing.
People be eating anything these days, even rabbits and beavers.
I used to eat rabbits as a kid. They're delicious :)
@@Pirap0 How did it taste like?
7:05 "FUFUFUFUUHHHH" very inspiring

22:49 😂😂😂😂 you are so insanely funny!!
I love black pudding, bacon sandwich with a cheese slice
French toast? That's just eggy bread.
24.40 in Canada, we simply call it Kraft Dinner or KD for short. Usually.
French Canadian here, can confirm! Same here in QC.

We need a medieval resteraunt so we can try medieval style food!!! Yum
Yea
Fish waffles. Yay! 🤢
Pondo
There’s a place called medieval times it’s kind of like the Dixie stampede
Fish waffles sound pretty good. I presume the word "womb" refers to the roe. Fish roe is still eaten today and is considered a delicacy.
@@johnopalko5223 hi
Jay is my favorite and nothing will ever change it.
I just love the sound of oublys😂

Without the fury, though. The anger really ruined the last one for me.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
Thank you so much 😀
Dude made a joke about poisoning his mother😂 damn bro
King Henry wasn't ready for that lamprey pie at all.

"Eel pie, brie tarts, tansy cakes with peppermint cream, ohh-ho-ho-ho!"
What a great way to start a conversation

I honestly forgot everything I used to watch 😂
"Care for a slice of Scroto?"
"Uh, that's his name, right?"
"'Tis also that, sir."
