Skyrim ass meal. need a wheel of cheese with it.
Try a ploughmans meal - bread, cheese and pickle. Awesome as a lunch.
Btw, that “ploughman’s lunch” was created in the 1960s by british marketing executives. It has nothing to do with medieval times, it’s just meant to evoque that vague feeling.
Thank you for this info. I wouldn’t have thought to look into such a thing. It reads to me like it was created by marketers, though, not politicians. It says “the Cheese Bureau, a marketing body affiliated with the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency” created it in the '50s.
You’re right, I misremembered the article. Corrected, thanks!
Is that a pickle or some pickle?
Tangy pickle yes. Branston, piccalilli. Or pickled onions, relish, or somesuch.
And a wineskin full of barley water, chilled in the stream
Nah, just a pint of beer
Soft white bread? Nobody but rich upper class people could afford soft white bread until well past the industrial revolution.
That’s also a pretty large roasted bird that’s being eaten in complete absence of stew.
Roast chicken on a nice crusty sourdough is amazing. Get some butter or gravy in there it’s a hell of a meal
A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day
I understand if any more words come pouring out of your cunt mouth, I’m going to have to eat every last chicken in this room.

The roast chicken is usually not an egg creating machine though.
They are fairly young male chickens, that have been raised just past their maximum growth rates.I guess that wouldn’t have been that much different in medieval times. The difference nowadays is, that we have specialized breeds for egg-laying or meat production vice versa and the respective ‘wrong’ sex of each will just be ‘discarded’ right after hatching.

More like a medieval king.
The person for sure needs to learn how to cook
If by “peasant” you mean “knight of the fucking round table” then yes
A lazy supermarket special - a roast chicken in a bag and a baguette roll picked up on the way to the checkout. We’ve all been there and I’m sure it makes a passable meal, but cooking is a skill everyone should endeavour to be proficient in.
Yeah but lets face it, a supermarket rotisserie chicken is generally cheaper and better than a chicken roasted at home. I dont understand the economic of it, but its true. I have up roasting chicken at home because its just never as succulent
$5 at Costco babyyyyyy
The bachelor’s handbag.
A few things to unpack here.
- That chicken is roasted nicely, but I completely understand if that was bought in that condition at the grocer’s.
- Plain bread is a travesty. it needs to be either toasted and/or you need some melted butter or gravy to sop up.
- Pair this with some fruit or pan seared/roasted vegetables. Even microwaved beans would make this nutritious. Takes very little effort, very easy to do.
- Even peasants had access to beer, ale, or home-made short-beer/kvass. Gotta calorie-max so you can work in the field tomorrow. Plus, the alcohol helps with the constant muscle-aches and fatigue from endless labor.
There are innumerable ways to elevate this meal, but I’ll keep this comment short. Anyone, feel free to message me or reply here if you want tips for that.
No one before the 1930s had access to such a large breed of chicken lol.
They probably would have confused this picture with a miniature Turkey.
HA! A mini Anatolian peninsula, you say?
Add some veg, and some butter for the bread, and it’s a good meal
A good meal for two, but a good meal nonetheless
Lol no. How about porridge with water every day of the week.
More like porridge with beer…made out of old porridge.
Peasants? That wpuld be a medieval noble
Minecraft dinner
That’s a US$5 Costco rotisserie
