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
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 vegetable wouldn't hurt you.
Stop it, you're killing him!
It would if it fell on your head. Checkmate atheists.

One of the episodes that had me in stitches was when he ate seafood from a dumpster then went out in his rowboat for a cruise.
lol gottem
It would also kill you if it was fired out of a cannon without breaking apart somehow
Potatoes could. The leaves, sprouts, and underground stems (tubers) of potatoes contain a toxic substance called glycoalkaloid. Glycoalkaloids make a potato look green when it's exposed to light, gets damaged, or ages. Eating potatoes with a high glycoalkaloid content can cause nausea, diarrhea, confusion, headaches, and death.
Also, the sentient mutant vegetables on Atrack of the Killer Tomatoes will definitely want to do harm toward OP.
Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.
From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.
Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.
"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chicken meal?", "Get your hand off my baguette!"
Would a medieval peasant have access to that much meat?
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.
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.
I read this comment in Max Miller's voice and it definitely enhanced it
Yes, they had chickens back then.
"The tall, skinny ones are confused, Brother..."
If by "peasant" you mean "knight of the fucking round table" then yes
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.
More like a medieval king.
A few things to unpack here.
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 perfectly fine as long as it's not one of those super dry breads
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?
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.
Reminds me of a pretty recent game called Pentiment that's like an old school point and click adventure about a murder in a middle age German Abby where a bunch of conversations happen over meals & who you eat with can have an effect on a bunch if stuff in the game. it was pretty cool to include and I'm guessing they tried to go for some accuracy considering how much detail they use on the foods.
Am woman, would totally eat. Infact my dinner looks similar except my bread is liquid. And of course some broccoli and onions.
You're going to be constipated
Can confirm this will happen if you eat nothing but rotisserie chickens every day five days in a row
Got it, only do four days in a row.
Ummmm…. story time?
Peasants? That wpuld be a medieval noble
