What did PEASANTS EAT in medieval times?

A medieval peasant travels in time and comes to 2020, we invite him into a fancy restaurant and serve him salmon and brown bread, so the medieval peasant is like “Oh for f**k’s sake”

Nice to know my diet is worse than a medieval peasant.

"You would probably begin drinking at the age of 5". That explained 90% of all British history!

Ive had salmon, brown bread and mushy peas with sorrel sauce on multiple occasions since seeing this video a year ago.

Nice to see the Steward of Gondor out doing better things than setting his son on fire

medieval peasant: peas, fish, and bread college student: surviving on instant ramen

Many people seem to underestimate how much difference herbs can make. It's true that spices used to be very expensive and as such reserved exclusively for the nobility, but this in no way meant that everyone else just had to make do with bland food - any ordinary peasant with a small garden at their disposal could easily grow herbs like mint, thyme, rosemary, basil and so on, as well as aromatics like garlic, onions, shallots and chives. They would still mostly live off of porridges, potages, soups and stews, but they were certainly capable of making them palatable.

The next time someone calls me "peasant" I'm gonna reply "I wish!"

Salmon is peasant food...cries in student.

this guy looks like he came from the past and couldnt support himself in this brave new world, so he started a channel about a regular day in his time.

"Bread, Beer, and Bacon" sounds like a really good pub name with great food and drink

My husband grew up poor in Appalachia. No plumbing or climate control. His diet was amazing though! I love that he always saw it this way. Everything homemade, organic, free range or truly wild caught. He’s a very hearty man.

What was once peasant's food is now a 65 dollar plate at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant.

My grandfather grew up in the maritimes in the 30's he used to tell me that they ate lobster often because it could be freely caught - and people would laugh at families who ate Lobster because they couldn't afford fish....he used to laugh and say he worked his whole life to afford to eat the foods he ate growing up poor.

This is literally the most calming video on Youtube.

4:38 ''Peasants were eating slob and mud'' Oh man that cracked me up. Reminds me of that scene in Monty Python's holy grail. ''There's some lovely filth over here!''

In the future restaurants will be serving doritos and ramen

When you gave up on Discovery and The History Channel because they only show reality TV and come to YouTube to actually learn something

There are number of times in history where the typical diet of the poor was considerably healthier than the diet of many of the rich. The very idea of resorting to eating leaves and roots and organ meats was often regarded as an ignoble contingency.

I'm at this moment eating my first try of home-made (somewhat brown) bread, salmon and pea pottage right now, and it is amazing. I don't know what it is supposed to taste like, but I like what I ended up with. Sorrel sauce will be tested once sorrel becomes availible. Fairly hard to find in the winter.
