What, no turnips!?
Mmm with mayo on the side
It looks basic but quite tasty if the prep and spicing has been done right.
Not every good meal has to be a Michelin Star affair, y’know. Sometimes, all you need is fries and two kroketten to be satisfied.
Peasants? Even many nobles didn’t eat like that every day.
People think that the typical nobleman in the Middle Ages ate like King Henry VIII. That isn’t true. Did you know that they determined that at least at a few points in Vlad the Impaler’s life he was basically living on a vegan diet? They ate a hell of a lot of vegetables and grains because meat was still expensive for everyone involved.
This. You had a steady diet of vegetables and bread. Maybe eggs if you had chickens and some small bit of land. Those times were harsh as fuck
Hell no, he had brochettes almost every day…
Humans on a stick don’t count!
Vlad, the real inventor of gyros/kebab
A medieval peasant wouldn’t waste so much work for a single meal. S/he would make a broth of it, with vegetables to make it last for days
Lol no. How about porridge with water every day of the week.
More like porridge with beer…made out of old porridge.
I sent this to my nephew, lol

A medieval peasant would be wishing they could est like this.
A medieval peasant would be eating gruel, not fancy white bread (that’s for royalty basically) or the egg creating machine, because that’s what makes the eggs which you will also not eat because the royalty nicks them all as “taxes”.
You need some fiber dude, but other than that, the only other thing you’re missing is a tankard of ale!
Skyrim ass meal. need a wheel of cheese with it.
Try a ploughmans meal - bread, cheese and pickle. Awesome as a lunch.
And a wineskin full of barley water, chilled in the stream
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.
The branding of ploughman’s lunch was invented in the 60s but that same Wikipedia page states it had been a common meal for rural labourers for centuries.
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?
Neither. It’s just pickle.
Bro where is the greens?
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.
The bachelor’s handbag.
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
I’ve had good results with spatchcocking, which as a bonus also cuts the cook time in half.
$5 at Costco babyyyyyy
I’d halve the chicken, skip the bread, and add a bunch of vegetables, and some cheese, but yeah. In fact, that is pretty much what I eat as my main meal at lunchtime every day.
