Ahhh, the Mermaid in Rye. Had a few pints in there. I've been in a number of pubs with mediaeval origins, but none quite like the Mermaid. Unique.

Although these are not my flavors, l really enjoyed watching the process by this talented young man, Chef Mark. I absolutely love history, old architecture, etc, so this show scratched a few itches, lol! Canada is a beautiful country, but you won't find anything medieval here like a thatched roof pub complete with ghosts! Looking forward to finding more videos like this. Thank You!!👍😃🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

Actually neon green was a really popular color in the 90s and again a few years ago.

Got my doubts. Agreed, pub fare was what was locally in season and available but pubs & inns were for lower class locals and travelers. So the fare would have reflected that. Being close to water, fish would have taken precedence followed by chicken, pork and vegetable dishes of basic and cheap composition. Most of the ingredients highlighted in your dishes would have been too expensive to offer, especially the spices, commercially in those days. Just an opinion.

That depends on the more specific time and place. By the late 14th century (the particular time mentioned here) , trade was very much on the rise and was in the wake of the Black Death which lead to a significant spike in the relative value and thereby income of the lower classes on account of the sharp decline in available laborers. Traveling merchants and mercenaries would also stay at pubs as well, who could essentially be middle class. While this part is conjecture, I imagine that larger settlements might have multiple inns specializing in different types of clientel. As for the cost of spices-that depends, again, on the time, place and specific spice in question. Cumin is not particularly expensive; on the other hand, he mentioned saffron, which was more valuable than gold. Some spices could also be grown in Europe rather than imported (especially from India) , generally reducing their price considerably.

During the Medieval period in Rye the majority of the local people struggled in poverty. It was a tax haven but was of little consequence to the poor. Much of what they produced went to the Crown and there was significant unrest among fishermen and the growers of barley, especially, who were frequently unable to consume their own produce. There is much on record showing the letters of correspondence pleading on their behalf for the allowance of provisions once the Crown's needs were met. Chicken was not commonly eaten, it was considered a luxury. You'd never kill an egg laying hen and deprive yourself of that food resource during that time period. Mutton, dead or on it's last legs, would have been more common with the renowned wool trade in Rye, but it was by no means plentiful.

The swwet and sour chicken, pork apples with plum sauce... Delicious! This has inspired me to try all of it, including the fish stew! I do wonder how the pepper sauce tasted...

I hope to one day be called a "ghost investigator" while wearing a fedora, a blue bow tie and a cherry red blazer as I hold a cane. Excuse me "stick".

You don;t eat with your knife. You cut with the knife and eat with your spoon, or fingers. A "thorn", something like a thick chopstick with one pointed end, may have been used in some areas.

Has there ever been a "ghost investigator" that has said " Nope no ghost here. Sorry."

The first time I toured Britain was back in ‘88. Having heard mixed reviews of pub grub, and being adventurous, I went for pubs, even for most dinners. I was never disappointed. The food was excellent. (Except for one establishment that served plaice. It was all crispy oily batter with tiny hints of edible fish. Never went again.) The bread was far more nutritious than ours today. Now, there is 19x (!) the amount of gluten in bread (wheat) than in the early 1960s. And you wonder about the gluten related diseases and detrimental effects. Thanks for an instructive video. Cheers!

LOL no. This entire video is absolute nonsense. Literally nothing that came out of that kitchen would have been sold in a medieval pub.

Would be nice if in the box they provided detailed recipes

pomme, by the 13th and 14th centuries may not yet have been narrowed down to apple as apple means today. That is to say, they both just simply meant fruit before. It was after the Norman conquest (or invasion, if you prefer) of 1066 that both words were narrowed down to mean what when now mean when we say apple. Meaning that it probably the same meaning as before during several centuries that followed. Even today pomme and apple are used in some fixed expressions for things having noghting to do with the modern-specific fruit (e.g. apple of the eye, though one could argue the pink colorassociated with a red apple)

Love this stuff! Thankyou✌💜🇬🇧
