Do you think you'd be able to survive in medieval times?

This is actually an excellent question. There are so very many different things entirely unprepared and unfamiliar to someone from 2020. It's not health or bravery or status, it's not all the historical perspective in the world, or money or being well armed or even being somehow inoculated, - or probably anything else at all; it's being confronted with an environment that none of the above may-well and most probably won't be able to help you with.

I still like to eat medieval type stew. I like it a lot actually.

It is going to be different at different places at different times. There are a lot of things we do know, from domestic guides, palace records, merchant logs,

It’s a fallacy to think that peasants ate bad diets or had little access to good food sources. They may not lived extravagant lives and had to do some really hard work, but they lived close to nature, farmed, hunted, and preserved produce 🍅, meat 🥩 , and herbs 🌿. Over the years, they became creative with how they prepared different items of food to which they had access.

Actually, no. They didn’t go exploring and eventually plundering because of want of fruits, spices and vegetables(which Europe was already receiving in trade with the Middle East and Asia). They did so because, like the Arabs and Moors who invaded Europe long before the Age of Exploration, they could. Black and brown people invaded and plundered Europe long before white people did that in the Americas or Asia. The multicultural Romans did that to everyone.

Other way around. Peasant access to meat was almost entirely non existent. to the point a large part of the population never even had meat a single time at any point in their lives. their diets were almost entirely fruits, vegetables and grains
