I love the painting of the person, holding the other person’s hair while they vomit. It’s just proof that humans never change.

[nigelchaos]

"Bestir yourself to correct these matters" is a really gentle way to say "GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!"

[placidandy]

Brewing up ale and selling it from one's house used to be one of the few occupations available to basically anyone, specifically women who were often barred from professions. Brewsters used to be able to support themselves after their husband passed away or otherwise buggered off by selling small beer to the local kids. Heartwarming stuff!

[Sierra.Foxtrot]

The "eyroun" bit was pretty enlightening to me as it immediately evoked the modern dutch word that i knew for "eggs", "eieren". I find etymology to be a fascinating subject, and making these connections is always quite exciting, so thank you for this ;-)

Fun fact, somewhat tangential, but young goats are unruly, hard to control, and tend to get into things and make messes. Historically, when people called children "kids", they were calling them ill-mannered and rude.

[PoppycockPrincess]

It's incredible to think about how one person's actions and choices could forever influence the development of a language.

[FreyaofCerberus]

I am constantly surprised at how delightfully wholesome this channel is. It doesn't hurt that it's combining my favorite two things. History and food. But it's the wholesome host that really sells it.

When i was in middle school my mom had surgery and was hospitalised for 3 months. My dad had a continuous soup/ stew going in a mid size pot the whole time. The soup would slowly change due to the different meat and vege he'd add every couple other day. After dinner when the pot is cooled enough it would go in the fridge til the next evening. Me and my brother ate surprisingly well during those months. 🤷‍♂️

The “Died by misadventure” story is relatable, just recently I was drunk at home and gave myself a black eye by falling

[UK_Canuck]

I had to smile when you mentioned the brooms indicating an alehouse. When I was living in southern Germany, our village was surrounded by vineyards. Every year, just before the new harvest, you'd see hand-lettered signs everywhere saying, "Besen" (broom), and pointing pointing toward one farm or another. As you got to the farm's lane, there would be a twig broom sticking out at the roadside. You'd find yourself seated at a trestle table in the barn, eating rustic sausages, potato salad, and sauerkraut. And drinking wine. Lots and lots of wine which was being sold off cheaply in order for the vats to be emptied and made ready for that year's harvest. Yum! 🍷🍷🍷

[maltelauridsbrigge]

Someone told me about your videos on reddit, and I’m absolutely inspired and impressed by your quality of videos, depth of history knowledge and combination of history and food. Love the channel!

[oafik]

I did enjoy the bit of digression on the origin of the word eggs, I thought that was perfectly in theme with the video and think that actually was a very welcome addition. I came here to learn, and learn I did.

If anyone wants to know, a "spart axe" (more commonly spelled sparth) is a large axe intended for use as a weapon rather than a tool. They are believed to be descended from the Dane axe, though a precise definition isn't really possible from the available writing (so far as I know).

Basically dude wasn't just walking around with his lumber axe, he was armed and looking for a fight.

[elizaripper]

I now want a D&D campaign that doesn’t leave the tavern because you spend the game figuring out what to order. 😃😋🥘🍻

[yayhandles]

Loved the JDraper shoutout; she's awesome and I hope you had the good fortune to be able to book her as a guide!

[Moridorable]

The single frame of Mr. Sheffield was perfect.

[overlordlaharlyun]

Human history is really comedic of how no matter where you are people are people

[himesilva]

I love that having a ne'er do well friend with a gambling problem appears to be a timeless issue

[jerseydevil]

“Ever stew” is good for multi day camping & survival situations too 👍🏾 waking up to a mug full of hot broth is ALWAYS AMAZING.

"Take veal, kid, or hen, and boil them in fair water"

THAT SECOND OPTION THERE GOT ME
