What Did People Eat During The Black Plague?

Ойын-сауық

When the Black Plague struck Europe in the 14th century, people didn't have much time to worry about their diets. Still, doctors warned that the most popular food and drinks in medieval England, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, could make people sick. Deemed healthy were items like meats, vinegar, and cooked fruit. For roughly three centuries afterward, millions of Europeans succumbed to sickness. The effects of the Black Plague influenced medieval food culture and directly shaped the way we live now.

    Fresh fruits making people sick in medieval times makes a lot of sense beyond the lead plates they were served on. Fun fact, almost half of all food poisoning cases in the US are due to unclean produce, 20% from milk and eggs, 22% from meats and poultry, and the rest from fish and sea food 6%. Some things clearly don't change.

    Interesting! I suspect lettuce might be one of the worst? I actually love lettuce it's my favourite vegetable and I eat it daily, different types of lettuce. But I remember a long time ago my mom telling me that contaminated lettuce had tragically caused some deaths and miscarriages stemming from a fast food restaurant? So when I was pregnant I actually stopped eating lettuce all together just to be on the safe side. For me it was a bit hard, I missed having lettuce on sandwiches and stuff but obviously I didn't want to take any risk.

    Spices are well known to have health benefits. It's disregarded by the health boards in the States but German, Chinese, and Japanese health boards all have positive studies. The problem is if you eat the Standard American Diet, no amount of tumeric is going to alleviate arthritis. You have to eat foods that reduce your inflammation first then the spices really work well.

    The tendency to write off natural medicien in the western world is based in lack of education. Essential oils (and spices) are just plant concentrates, and 90% of western medicine is derived directly from fungi and plants as a concentrate or distillate, or just product. A good example of an essential oil that no educated scientist can argue isn't medicine is wintergreen oil. Wintergreen oil is pure salycylic acid, which is the active ingredient in aspirin, it's actually a stronger version Funny how the process of learning is always "hey we just discovered that we didn't know everything" and yet people still somehow think that we know everything now lol

    Exactly, the theories of the past really arent nearly as crazy and people like to make fun of them for. Theyre not wrong, just inaccurate. Like how silver was said to ward off evil, and today we know it is antimicrobial Adding salt to the vinegar makes it even more hostile. There are bacteria that can survive in actual magma, or frozen in ice for 1000s of years, or buried deep underneath the ocean or even crust under immense pressure. But the combination of high acid and high salt is an environment that we have yet to find a single life form that can thrive in, at least in high enough concentrations like in some geysers

Doctor: "I'd no idea you were a medical man!" Blackadder: "Whatever I've had, you lot have used leeches. One on my ear for ear-ache, on my bottom for constipation." Doctor: Marvelous!" Blackadder: "That one wasn't. I sat down and squashed it." Doctor: "Leeches come to us on the highest authority." Blackadder: "Dr Hoffman of Stuttgart?" Doctor: "The great Hoffman." Blackadder: "Owner of Europe's largest leech-farm." Doctor: "Yes. I've no time for gossip. As far as this case is concerned, I've had time to think it over and I can strongly recommend a course..." Blackadder: "...of leeches. Just pop them down my codpiece before I go to bed!" Doctor: "No, no, no! We're not in the Dark Ages. Just dissolve four in your mouth every morning."
