Try a ploughmans meal - bread, cheese and pickle. Awesome as a lunch.
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.
Add some veg, and some butter for the bread, and it's a good meal
could use some vegetables. 8/10 because lack of said vegetables.
Even in the 1960s eating a whole chicken would have been a luxury, this isn't peasant food, that's the gout inducing diet of a king
"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chicken meal?", "Get your hand off my baguette!"
I had to scroll way too far for this.
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.
fun fact: whole-grain bread is probably healthier than soft white bread anyways due to an increased content in fiber, so there's that ...
I thought this was common knowledge?
Roast chicken on a nice crusty sourdough is amazing. Get some butter or gravy in there it's a hell of a meal
If by "peasant" you mean "knight of the fucking round table" then yes
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.
Plain bread is a travesty
This isn't plain bread, good sir, this is a baguette! Well, rather small one, but still.
Plain bread is perfectly fine as long as it's not one of those super dry breads
super dry breads
Technically that's not bread. That's... Hm... Wheat buttscratcher? Anywho, a proper bread with no industrial processing is moist. :)
The 0.62€ industrial baguette I buy at Despar Is fine and not dry despite being industrial
Anywho, a proper bread with no industrial processing is moist. :)
how so?
Oh damn, that's a fucking feast! Peasents can't afford that shit.
He stole the chicken and bread, calm down Mr medieval economy
All Javerts are bastards.
You're eating like Final Fight.
(Hits a trashcan)
Roasted chicken.
(Hits some tires)
Bread.
100% health let's go!!!
Peasants? That wpuld be a medieval noble
A vegetable wouldn't hurt you.
It would if it fell on your head. Checkmate atheists.
It would also kill you if it was fired out of a cannon without breaking apart somehow
A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day
Depends on which era honestly. The medieval period lasted for nearly a thousand years and could vary about as much as one would expect, so for example a very well off peasant during the high medieval period maybe could have eaten a whole ass chicken for a while at least. Probably wouldn't have though, at least not without turning it into soup or a sandwich equivalent.
stew 🤤️
Would a medieval peasant have access to that much meat?
Depends on time and place, of course. Peasants in the late medieval period in England ate more meat than we do today (about 40% of their calories).
King Richard I was once captured for ransom while traveling undercover trough Austria.
His cover was blown specifically because he tried ordering a roast chicken.
There are a few variations of the details in this story though, a peasant could definitely have owned a chicken and eaten it when it died but it was probably way more valuable to sell it.
They probably ate the roosters though? Or maybe sold them for food ofc.
Doubtful, most common meal for peasants would have been a sort of stew of vegetables and oats called pottage.
A whole chicken would have been prohibitively expensive either to purchase or in lost money from sale at market, same for pork or beef.
Fish though would be plentiful and cheap and a valuable source of protein. Oysters were considered peasant food until pretty much the 20th century.
Wheat bread similarly would have been a rare luxury, especially made from refined white flour, rye and buckwheat, roughly ground would be far more common.
Am woman, would totally eat. Infact my dinner looks similar except my bread is liquid. And of course some broccoli and onions.
You've... heard of produce, right...?
That's propaganda by Hulk (big green).
Dang, medieval peasant had it better than I thought.
