Also at the Texas castle we offer tomato bisque, garlic bread, corn, potato, and half a chicken. For vegetarians we offer a the veggie platter with celery and carrot sticks with Peta bread and hummus, along with three bean soup. Not historically accurate whatsoever 😅 oh and then the dessert. A literal donut.

When a guest comes through our doors they are transported back in time and the 'disco' or dance floor opening after the show is to bring the guests back to the 21st century. I also dont think we have ever had salad on our menu. At least not at my castle. We change our show every 4 years. The story line you showed in this video is from 15 years ago so we've been through a few more since then. New show coming spring 2024! 😊

    • Fun fact before the French revolution certain French intellectuals and nobles liked to slander potatoes to prevent them from becoming popular. Incidentally the guy that popularized potatoes in France started liking potatoes after being a prisoner in Germany. After he went back to France he got the king to give him land to privately study potatoes. Unfortunately the revolution started shortly before his potato field can bear results. The biggest cause of French revolution was the famine, prussia avoided that famine because they already popularized potatoes by that point. I France had managed to popularize potato a year earlier the revolution could have been avoided. The story of potatoes is quite impressive, as to how drastically it affected history in some places.

Maybe not in the 10th century, but a little later and it would be a perfectly normal weapon for a knight to have and use. Us associating guns with more modern times is a complete misconception. The first guns were being used by the 15th century. Granted, these were hand cannons, but it still counts.

  • You can still find wild forms of Strawberries all over rural Europe. The big varieties that are commercially sold are not the only species of strawberry in existance. So if you were to put in the effort you may be able to still recreate that taste. Besides, engineering an ingredient for higher yield and larger size usually has a negative impact on taste compared to their wild counterparts.

Edit: Þ: thorn was the letter replaced by "y" hence the letter from ye olde that op was refering to. đ: eth/that was also used interchangably with þ but was also used to mean "the" or "that". Ultimately they were both phased out of old english in favour of the latin "th" spelling of the sound. Largely due to the invention of the printing press.

  • In medieval time most of the work was in the spring for food preservation for winter. I found that canning, boiling, and pickling were very common. Everything was canned and labeled, so you had plenty of bread, water and ale was boiled (to get of bacteria), and jam jars and cambut'as was a regular staple in every household. Before being vegan my go to meal was bread, hard boiled eggs, which from my understanding, chickens were domesticated because of their high yield of eggs. I ended up learning medieval food preparation to save on food prices, which now with food prices inflation is immensely handy. Not only that but the most common meal you find in every time period are stews : Goulash, and lentils stews for example. And there's a good reason, you take a souring wine and you add it and it works like lemon or vinegar, you take any vegetable being softened and it's nutrition gets cleaned and processed to the liquid stock when you get rid of the solids. The stock ends up being the master ingredient in everything. Today the bigger issue is that the world temperature is rising, so the heat makes the food spoil much faster nowadays without refrigerating than back 300+ years ago. What happens is that in medieval times they had incredible ways to make food that for us would be incomprehensible like for a medieval person to imagine a world where a citizen knows not only what his political leader looks like, but what other nations political leaders look like beyond stories from the local paper, or gossip. (Painters were expensive).

  • In particular, Medieval Times SHOULD be serving "Perpetual Stew" (Alternatively referred to as "Forever Soup, Hunter's Stew, or Hunter's Pot.) - basically the idea was that it was a stew or soup that was never taken off of its heat source and, as long as it was kept between 180-200 degrees Fahrenheit (82-93 degrees Celsius) the stew would never go bad, and as long as carrots, meat, celery, onions, broth, etc. were consistently added to the pot after having been subtracted for the sake of a serving, the stew would basically last forever (hence the term "perpetual stew") without ever having to clean the pot, with exceptions. Day by day, the stew would taste different, depending on the ingredients added. It was very popular throughout Medieval European pubs, as well as the American Frontier during pioneer times.

As for muskets they had them at the tail end of medieval ages, and before that a few earlier versions of guns like the handcannon. Knights lasted till about 1450-1600, as muskets/firearms became more common though they were scaled back more and more. If you want to count just mounted heavy cav as knights than technically we could say they lasted much longer till the 1800s but those are like cuirassiers and the sort, who while armored typically only had a helmet and a cuirass, as armoring their entire body was both expensive and impractical with improvements in weapons.

But chicken soup does a variety of things when you're ill. 1) the steam/heat/spices helps congestion 2) chicken is a less heavy meat, so you can eat a food that takes longer to break down without feeling nauseous from having eaten heavy foods, so you feel full longer 3) some ingredients, i think garlic being one, have anti inflamitory abilities. But garlic also helps clear your throat and nose (like horseradish or anything hot) I think it was the university of nebraska that did a study on it. Homemade is better. Seasoned well is better. But it does help even just a little bit.

  • As a side-note, since you're talking about all these old meals, it would be fun to go into the word "ye" as well, since it's always pronounced incorrectly it seems. This is a very old word that's still used in the language to this day, it's just written differently. "Ye" is just "The". It stems from a time when the letter Þ was used (a letter that is still well and alive within my language), and bears the same pronounciation as "th". Back when printing was kicking off, the letter y was often used in place of the þ because of how similar they looked back then, (they don't look that similar now, but letterhand has changed quite a bit in those years). So simply, "ye olde bookshop" for example should be pronounced "the old bookshop". Although "ye" also has a different meaning depending on the context, "Come all ye faithful" for example, where ye is a plural form of you, in the context I'm referring to it's a "the". "From Middle English þe. Early press typographies lacked the letter þ (“thorn”), for which the letter y was substituted due to their resemblance in blackletter hand (etymological y was for a while distinguished by a dot, ẏ). Short form yͤ continued long after the digraph th had replaced þ elsewhere. Traditionally pronounced the same as the, but now often pronounced with the ordinary sound of ⟨y⟩: IPA(key): /jiː/"

Eggs was also a common food yet no one wanted to eat cows for that was for the rich or you’re going through war or poverty and had to eat the family cow. Sadly a medieval age dish would probably be pig sausage, gruel, some fruit like apples, some bread that might have some plaster in it, and a pitcher of water down beer (bud light) for a standard beer wasn’t a thing till the beer act of 1516 in Bavaria you don’t get like good beer.

In consequence, forks became quasi forbidden over the larger parts of the medieval period until they became fashionable after the renaissance (?) again in nobility.

  • Historian here! Yes, I indeed had an anyeurism learning of such a restaurant, yet not surprising in America. What would an actual medieval meal look like? That depends largely on your social class and where you live. But generally, root vegetables, porrige and bread was the way to go. Plus local ingredients: Nobles of course had much more access to meat and only they were allowed to hunt animals like deer. However, catching a rabbit, some fish or a few birds wasn't out of the question even for lower classes. This video titles we would hate medieval food, but that would be more true of the more noble stuff. They would season everything with expensive spices like Cinnamon. Not bad, but unusual. Having some oates with self-made jam and a stew with bread wasn't bad. And peasants certainly ate a lot - they would toil for hours and needed sustainance, not one slice of bread and half a bowl of soup.

  • Apart from the drinks, this was pretty accurate. Wine and ale were a bit more complex than that..Wine was often not consumed as is, instead it was an ingredient that you add to water to create your drink. It's a lot like how we use syrup for our sodas today. Additionally, you left out some more common drinks such as water. Water was incredibly popular on account of the fact that it's y'know, water. As for the methods used to make them, you aren't giving them enough credit. The processes used to prepare these drinks were incredibly complex and thought out. Sure they may not have known the exact science but they knew what they were doing.

    • Yep, just because they didn't have binomial nomenclature for every organism involved in the brewing process doesn't mean they didn't know what they were doing. Brewing was often done by monks as well, and they were obsessive about perfecting their craft, owing to their pursuit of understanding concepts like creation and purity, and the fact that they had no other distractions. They're actually pretty much the same now; a monastery in Germany just invented a powdered form of beer that's 1/10th the weight and hence much less expensive to ship.

    • They're actually shaped to make a tight fit together in a barel shape that is slightly larger than the bands put on them. That way the metal bands are compressing them tightly together and forming a watertight seal. It looks like there's gaps but that's just the outer edges of the planks (or staves) being worn down, they're still pressed against each other on the inside. Plus if there ever was a leak one could patch it up with some resin or tar still.

      @XSniper74184@XSniper741848 ай бұрын
    • There are things called Wax , Coating , Varnish and Polish which creates a fine barrier between the liquid and wood. Add that to really thightly banded planks and you have a perfectly water proof wine barrels which keeps water out and wine or other alcoholic beverages in.

    • while the musket was a spanish invention, it wasn't until the 16th century (the 1500s) that it was made. though it was an advancement of the harquebus, a sort of small cannon. The medieval period itself ended roughly between 1400 and 1450. almost 100 years before the musket was even invented. So yes, a medieval knight with a musket would be technically impossible. But as you said, knights using guns was absolutely true. It's just not Medieval knights. Even the harquebus itself wasn't invented until the mid 15th century. basically at the end of the medieval period.

You gave them the rough time period of 950-1250, which means that hops, that as you said "became popular in 12th century", fit within the time period perfectly well. Also, while outside of the period you chose, knights did in fact carry firearms starting in the 15th century, at the very tail end of the Medieval period. Also fun fact, potatoes for a while also were not trusted as a safe food and there is even mentions that it was grown as a decorative plant.

Because the earliest cakes were basically ground grains and dried fruid, bound together with some honey and baked(more like dried) on a hot stone...and they were not made for eating but as a means to store grains for a long time to make...beer. And then I guess it was eaten by someone who was curious. Brewing that kind of beer goes back to the old egyptians

    • I think this depends. Its likely that the first cakes were mostly yeasted, based on sourdough, and most likely closer to something like English scones (or muffins) with clotted cream and jam. Pies were a thing, along with things like fruitcakes , but the crust generally was more a "container" , than anything note worthy with people mainly eating the filling and maybe the top. With fruitcakes, in Germany for example Christstollen are popular (a type of yeasted bread with butter , raisins and nuts) Fine baked good did exist for a while longer, like the pretzels! And from what IIRC, potage (potash) and grinded down deer horns also gave some lift, allowing for non-yeasted baked goods.
