I don't think sweetroll theft was so bad. I mean, the Whiterun (and Skyrim) guards in general seem to treat it like "Aww, someone stole your nickel, and gave you a pickle?" I mean, they'lll still throw you in _prison_ for doing that, as it's also apparently a crime against the people of Skyrim, but, whatever. Skyrim guards are also bad at imprisonment, and fail to realize when you escape jail, so...yeah.

Yeah, they would have probably used crappy grains, in addition to lack of salt. Salt (too little or too much) makes a HUGE difference in the quality of fresh bread, if you're into that sort of thing, you know that already. If you're not, take my word for it. Salt wasn't worth its weight in gold like some medieval misconceptions, but it certainly wasn't 50 cents for a 16 ounce can like it is today.

@flamesofhellstudio

@@eastlynburkholder3559 Actually the grain they used was HIGH QUALITY by today's standards at least health wise. The grain they used for poor people and animals were whole grain (typically a trencher wouldn't be used with animal grain because that would have been more barely and oats as opposed to the whole grain of wheat). The breads the nobles at were actually more like white bread as the grain used was heavily milled into a fine flour. So the trencher was closer to some staled whole grain sourdough, which is then rehydrated with the juices of the meat.

@flamesofhellstudio

3 жыл бұрын

@@Nekulturny There was only a lack of salt in the trencher because the nobles weren't going to waste salt on bread they were just going to give to the poor (or in some cases just the dogs, which was considered to be in extremely poor taste even back then because of the general idea that you give these to the poor.) But the grains weren't crappy, they were better than the bread that the nobles actually ate. The nobles at a lot of highly processed grain because the processed grain was seen as a status symbol as it was much more difficult to mill flour back in the day when they had to use wind or water, or raw man-power. They would have used the same grains they would have used in their bread, but they wouldn't have processed as finely, they would have let it stay as whole grain, with the germ, endosperm, and bran, while the processed grains would have only retain the endosperm.

@@CrazyPangolinLady Depending on the exact time and region, they also drank herbal teas of various descriptions, as well as very light soups. Essentially, anybody who understood that boiling water made it safer tended to drink boiled water of some description, adding in some kind of flavoring when possible - because boiled water. Throughout history, wine was also often cut with water, though that was probably to avoid getting completely shitfaced each and every day, especially when you are expecting another 5 to 7 hours of hard work afterwards. Not sure if they boiled that water beforehand, but it would have made sense. Even a fairly weak wine (say 8% ABV), kept sealed for a year or so, is unlikely to contain dangerous microorganisms, or contain them in numbers and conditions such that they are able to cause actual illness. Cut with 50% water of an unknown source, though, and it becomes a mixed drink of unknown status. Not really safe to drink, unless the water was already safe on its own. Finding sources of clean water in the middle ages was not an easy task : while people didn't willingly contaminate their own water supply (humans are stupid but we're not that stupid), most rivers were already contaminated to some extend, either by animals (a single dead deer can really ruin your day) or by upstream villages using them to take away their wastes. That of course means lakes were also often contaminated to some extent. Really, drinking straight water, regardless of its source, was generally a poor idea, so they substituted it with what they could.

They used a wide variety of bags worn over the shoulder, either on the side of the body or across the back. UK based craftsman Karl Robinson makes excellent reproductions of some types, click each category for more pics and period artwork www.karlrobinson.co.uk/catagory_shoulder_bags.php?cat=13 Most of the time they travel light compared to modern hikers or backpackers. If you had a large amount of possession to move they you were usually wealthy enough to have access to pack animals or wagons. Soldiers would share pack animals and wagons, they could also have family or servants that carried part of their baggage. (Quite common among the Landsknechts for example).

19:10 yeah i dont think it was bland at all, except if prepared by cooks who "dont give a shit", just like today. These were regular human beings, with the same tastes and likes / dislikes as we today. They were JUST as passionate about delicious food as WE are today. Sure they might not have had access to all the ingredients we do, but just look how many delicious dishes you can cook today in your own home with just a simple steak, some parsely, a few carrots and some pepper and salt. Bam. Grease up that steak in butter, let it soak up the pepper and then fry that sucker gently medium rare, pre-boil the carrots to soften them then throw in the sliced carrots to soak up some of the spicy grease. Delicious and done. Nothing they couldnt have done either at that time (sure its harder in a pan that isnt non-stick, but whatever). Just look at how incredibly delicious food even the most poor villages in Vietnam serve in their local pubs. The medieval period also had their "master chefs", their own versions of gordon ramsay. I think we underestimate so many things about the ancient times. The point is, delicious food has NOTHING to do with wealth. It just has to do with heart and effort.

It did have a lot to do with wealth. Most of the people didn't have meat every day. Most basic foods was the one pot meal.And that could have been for a few meals. simple answer is yes there was a lot of fantastic food if you had the money the fuel to cook it. Even the rich ate a lot of simple foods depending on the time of year. So wealth had a lot to do with your food.

The wealthy would have been the most able to afford exotic herbs and spices; the lower classes would probably rely on what grew locally to to flavor their food.

@@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603 The bit about meat isn't necessarily true, especially if you keep animals like cows or sheep. You'd likely have access to a not inconsiderable amount of lamb and veal, to say nothing of when cows get too old to produce milk, or chickens eggs, etc. The urban poor, however, would have far more limited access to such things.

@@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603 one pot meals are really tasty, I mean modern stews and soups are just types of one pot meals. hungarian goulash is a medieval peasant one pot dish. bean and veggitable meals can also be very nice. and fish was eaten by the poor often (as river fiseries, fish farms were extremely common inland, and on the coast you had the ocean), salted meats were also fairly common in many places as peasant food. and of caurse cheese (very tastey) was widely eaten by peasants.

No pepper though, no peasant would be able to afford those spices from *insert unpronounceable/untypable name for modern day Indonesia here*
