#middleages #history #culinaryhistory In this episode, Hendrik
and Carmen show you how the servants in medieval knight's castles
really lived and ate. Today we're diving into a culinary journey
back to the High Middle Ages (11th-13th century) - away from the
grand feast tables! You'll learn all about the three most
important preservation methods (smoking, salting, drying) that
were essential for survival, and how elaborate the preparation of
dried meat really was. We look at the kitchen equipment of the
time, explain why guests brought their own knives, and how status
was displayed from wooden spoons to decorated ceramic plates.
Particularly fascinating: medieval pies as the fast food of the
era, and dishes like pork with sage sauce that peasants and
knights alike would have known - but with completely different
significance. Enjoy and see you next time! #medievalcuisine
