Great video! Loved learning about medieval peasants' daily meals. Super interesting facts! Please share more cool historical food facts in your next video!

I have eaten ox tongue, cow heart and pig trotters. Ireland was very poor in the 1980's. My mother drew the line at tripe and sheep head. She ate those during the 1950's when she was a child. Beef dripping was a special treat. 😅

The thing about nettles and dandelions... prevent scurvy for the former and everything edible on the latter.

Prairie dog, a badger, porcupine, and a robin

I've made dandelion and poke Salad.

9 inch Bass, had salt, good

For a day?! Dude I've gone 120 hours on only water...I've eaten only meat for months...but only what's in my cabinet?  Forn1 day? Make it 30 days? That's more of a challenge

Actually, garlic bread with fresh churned goat butter, a beer, maybe a little bacon in greens...not that bad.

Fish I cannot eat as I am allergic to it and shellfish.

I once had bread and water for three days in the navy’s brig

Great episode

Pottage actually sounds good a never ending stew with a fresh ingredient every morning.mostly vegan and if you’re lucky to add! But still very amazing to have a slow simmer meal that goes for a week,

I had to eat pigs feet and chicken feet and beef kidney and beef sweetbread glands and cow stomach when I grew up and weed greens for salad. This is all true

prolly the most basic thing i have eaten was beaten rice soaked in sugar water.

I've actually eaten soup only for a month straight out of necessity. If the soup is something you can add to-it's not that bad if noodles are kept out of it. Instant ramen noodles and you start feeling nauseous after week 2 is finished because of the same salty flavor and noodles feel gets to you, unlike a constantly added to soup where the flavor alters slightly and the mouth feels won't turn slimy so fast. I also tried old fashioned gruel (more modern gruels added spices other than salt) and-if you're sick it helps in a pinch because the water content makes it so you're more likely to keep food in you.

To know what it's like ti ear like a peasant, try being unemployed for a while!

Hmmm oddest thing I ate in desperation for food, ex ate the 2+ pounds of chuck roast as "breakfast" steak while I was asleep, hence the birth of the sharp cheddar, sauerkraut, dill pickle sandwich with ketchup and mustard, it’s actually pretty tasty.

I ate Lawrys Seasoned Salt exclusively, for days.

They didn't have birth control back then so I guess the family would have like 15 kids I guess that's not good

Wanna guess what rattlesnake taste like?


Just like it smells
