Every time I read about historical cooking, I die to run to the kitchen to try them. We're both limited and lucky as modern diners. We're poorer in that don't get to enjoy the variety of foods available nor the nearly forgotten spicings. We're lucky in that we don't get stuck with the limited food colorings available, like spinach for green, beets for red, and in our improved sanitation in food storage and on their way to the table. Lucky the folks who got their dishes scalding hot. No bacteria. Oh, I do wish we could find the many herbs they used. Some are extinct, but a lot are simply overlooked or not thought of as food. The Roman poorer classes made a covetable savory ragout of wheat. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have hit on that during WWII instead of the hopeful but disappointing meals made out of barley?

I would really love a video on the history of jewellery. What type of designs were popular? What type of gemstones were popular. What kind of jewellery did the commoners sought after. Jewellery fashion in the Victorian Era, the Elizabethan Era, the Tudor Era, Indian Royalty, Ottoman Empire, Byzantine Jewellery, Egyptian Jewellery.

When people tried peacocks, they discovered that the birds were stringy and tough.
So they skinned the peacocks, killed a couple geese, and put the peacock feathers over the geese carcasses, which were much more tender and delicious.
There's a lesson in there somewhere about hypocrisy. borrowed robes?

I love me some fried rabbit. My uncle used to take us hunting for them by the local river in our area of Texas. We would get about a dozen of them and fry a feast for everyone at the camp site. Rabbit is some of the best meat I've ever had, you just need quite a few of them to get everyone full.

Even the poorest person could own a wooden plate and spoon. They could carve it out of a piece of wooden plank or so. I do not think they ate directly from the table, and I never ever read any sources that mentioned the detail of eating the food that way.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the turnip patties and fava bean patties. Would be so nice to see what monks of medieval times ate. I was shocked by one book from the Victorian era that talk about vegan receipts that monks from Medieval era ate.

The main course of one of the most delicious meals I ever had was a goat, stuffed with a lamb, which was stuffed with a chicken, which was stuffed with hard-boiled eggs, all roasted on a spit. Those mediaevals knew what was good!

I had a Shakespeare class in college where, at the end of the term, we re-created a mideaval feast where we made the food only with mideaval recipes, ingredients, and cooking processes. It was wonderful and educational!

The trenchers were then given as alms to the poor in some settings. All the meat juices and gravy would soften it. Those dining at the feast werent allowed to eat them. It was considered bad etiquette.

I think they all look pretty good! Well, except for that live chicken thing.
WEIRD HISTORY You should check out what your reader have said regarding new vids. They sound pretty great!

There is an ad on this: It wasn't the weapon; it was the evil. You don't leave citizens like sitting ducks, because somebody was unfortunately sick!

You will get more views if there isnt a tinge of annoyance in the voice. Sarcastic tone requires jokes alongside. They are good videos overall

Do a video on the history of salt! Plenty of material for that. The word, Salary, and the City of Salzburg are rooted in the word salt

A pound of saffron costs as much as a horse today. Maybe more. I recently bought some for paella and it was $7 for two dozen or so threads.
