pomme, by the 13th and 14th centuries may not yet have been narrowed down to apple as apple means today. That is to say, they both just simply meant fruit before. It was after the Norman conquest (or invasion, if you prefer) of 1066 that both words were narrowed down to mean what when now mean when we say apple. Meaning that it probably the same meaning as before during several centuries that followed. Even today pomme and apple are used in some fixed expressions for things having noghting to do with the modern-specific fruit (e. g. apple of the eye, though one could argue the pink colorassociated with a red apple)

- Lost me with the ghost investigator. Stuck around for the cooking, though.
- English wine. Theres such a thing?
- The words fish & soup combined make me just a tad nauseous.
- Dont think about medieval (lack of) hygiene, parasites, etc. Again, NAUSEA.
- The hostess is, imo, a nothingburger. Dont like the suit or her bleached, stiff hair. No discernible personality, also self-conscious & stiff. .. like her hair.
- The finished plate is - sorry! - unappetizing. Everything brown & tan, with a side puddle of lumpy diarrhea. Thats a big NOPE for me.

This is so wrong. Medieval pubs food was the same as what everyone ate at home. Bread, pottage and ale. Some of the more expensive places would serve roasted meat or fish (always salted marine fish) but not golden apples. Those pork apples would have been served in a noblemans home or even the royal court. It had spices and honey which are expensive and it takes a lot of time. I have no doubt that it was eaten in medieval times but not in a pub.

LOL no. This entire video is absolute nonsense. Literally nothing that came out of that kitchen would have been sold in a medieval pub. Those spices alone would have cost an absolute fortune and would not have been available to anybody who wasn't rich
Medieval pub food was nothing more than pottage with maybe a bit of dried fish if you were fortunate, and ale. Thats it, and its very well documented

Love Brit history! We also have many great pubs with pub grub including beers, wine,
classic fish and chips and wonderful sandwiches made on rye bread, named after the Earl of Sandwich and houses/windmills from the 1600s here on old Cape Cod. in NEW England as well as teas at old inns! We haven't forgotten our British/Irish/Scottish roots here! Thanks for sharing

There are a number of food safety issues not speaking of hand washing. I get that theres editing, but some things we observe directly as cross contamination. Also. the temperature of things, and cleaning his work surface. Which clearly still had raw chicken in a number of shots.

The cooking bit was great, but the fellow in the red jacket is a nut, guess he uses for the medieval period as referance old Erol Flynn movies. Daggers for eating, why not right away two handed swords? Normal eating knifes and spoons I guess are to plain for him?

What is it with these women dying their hair to look like a cheap pound shop wig
Most of that food would have been for the rich not sold in pubs, the ingredients were far too expensive to sell to the average person.

All the people moaning about the chef not washing his hands - you all do realise that this is edited right? Do you really want them to extend this show by another 20 mins just so you can watch a guy wash his hands.

Went to a pub in London and ordered a chicken sandwich. Honestly, it was so thin and tough even nailing it to the soles of your shoes would've been a waste of time. Even the chips were ghastly! Lol

Ah, well. I've lost my appetite for the rest of the day. Before breakfast. Interesting. And, if I'd lived back then, I would have eaten what was available in the usual manner of preparation.

You don; t eat with your knife. You cut with the knife and eat with your spoon, or fingers. A thorn, something like a thick chopstick with one pointed end, may have been used in some areas.

Medieval Pub Grub offered an elevated status by Queen of the Prigs. Lost me when her queenship illustrated plate fare presentation similar to the finest Michelin touch.

So basically, the chef started with meat/fish/poultry, then added spices, wine, and honey with every dish. I found myself getting a bit bored with it all.
