This medieval recipe was only for the mega rich

With the price of saffron it's still only for the rich

[predatorasap]

Noble : This is a bit undercooked, Guards go and cook the chef

[randomanun]

The reason it was expensive was the saffron... which was and still is extremely expensive.

“I hear our liege is one of the wealthiest in the kingdom. They say his cooks WRITE down their recipes, on paper no less!”

[shellymills]

I’m just looking at someone’s entire annual salary dripping off the pork into the fire…

Goes through all the trouble of gilding it, then "I'm going to mince it up finely."

[excusemewhatthefuck]

I wish there was a YouTube channel solely focusing on kind women making medieval food

[dylandettorre]

Ginger pepper and saffron must have been an absolute bastard to come by back then

[grainassault]

Crazy to think how much more expensive it was back then to write things down than to just teach them directly

Lord: You see that almost done pork roasting there?

Cook: The one you requested, milord?

Lord: I want you to shred it.

[DwarvenAdventurer]

Can we get this at the Ren Fest? Turkey legs are good, and so are sausages, but this looks delicious.

[Obantus]

The one only thing I would eat during medieval times lol

[axtornqgronb]

does she have her own 'medieval cooking' channel on youtube? if so, whats the name of it!

[cosmicriptid]

As soon as she mentioned saffron I was like "ah yes, a royalty only dish."

[iteaire]

Reminds of “Roca de Los pireneos” it’s a flour mixture that is cooked over a spit while turning. Her’s isn’t hot enough to cook the batter as she turns her roast. The hardest thing from these old recipes is the technique of cooking wasn’t always explained.

[fullmetaltheorist]

I don’t know why, but when I watch videos and shows about medieval England and Europe, I feel a sense of nostalgia for a time I didn't even exist in.

[vlr]

I need an overview of all the dishes. Especially that pie

[ecstasyman]

"AWWW lookid dat looks alright!" So sweet, heart melted. These period pieces are my comfort food
