What type of beans Green beans may be because beans as we know them today are native to the americas also just like potatoes chocolate vanilla squash berries tomatoes avocados corn peppers sweet and hot(paprika) also you must have been importing foods from the Mediterranean why is no mention of this..... what are the species that they used to flavor their roast and where did they come you should have talk about this since the video is about food and not about making a bell..... There is no mention of butter cheese or dry meats this video was not very accurate.....

Also alot things we regard as superstitions or myths like springing the fields with bread today could be true, science has erase many of the old ancestral knowledge to understand this things specially in europe... decease is illness physical problems spirituality magic ghost have been completely regarded by science as a joke I dont agree with that.... The corn is growing flatten by storms again corn arrive with potatoes

Same. She looks like she’d be such a good friend and fun to hang out with

i could listen to her talk for hours

Her enthusiasm is heartwarming and contagious!

Ruth and also Jason Kingsley from the Modern History channel

She likes a batch in the butt. Sounds like my kind of woman.

honestly medieval life without worrying about starvation or the Black Death? sign me up

They're basically larping

hahaha that was one of the worst times to be alife but i guess you can still expirence it by living in an indian slum

Same, but maybe with tap water and washing machines and I’m content

@@ryantrumble4582 what is larping, as you say?

It's originally a BBC documentary. While I haven't seen any new documentaries exactly like this one for decades, this same historical team has done a few other documentary series like this. If you want to see more, look up other work done by Ruth Goodman (she's the woman with red hair in this series). It will point you to more.

This is just one episode of the Tudor Monastery Farm series, made years ago. You'll have to search Tudor Monastery Farm to find other episodes, they're on KZfaq but scattered around. On the other hand, Tales From the Green Valley has recently been uploaded in one 5+ hr. group.

Lol, there's s this obnoxious thing, historically, where if a task that is a vital but tedious daily grind that no one pays you for for (cooking food for the family, for example) it is traditionally a woman's job, But as soon as it becomes something you can turn into a paying career and possibly get some prestige (Baker, chef) It would become a job that was only and almost exclusively for men. So, to me, there's no surprise that when Ale making become easier and profitable, It stopped being a woman's job!

@@melissasaint3283 although I am in full agreement that sexism inexorably impacts division of labor (both in a domestic setting in a cisheteronormative family unit and in the public sphere), you need to remember that "history" encompasses more than western and European history. and also importantly, other types of marginalization change how things work. basically, history is more complicated and the world is more fucked up than you're giving it credit for lol

@@melissasaint3283however this also reminds me of a VERY interesting thing I learned about a few years ago - the way access to public bathrooms has been an extremely important tool for determining who can feasibly access public life. because if there's no public bathrooms, it's not like you can really go too far from home, right? my interaction with this was in the context of advocating for gender neutral multi stall bathrooms at my grad school, but historical study on this has mainly been focused on cis women, so it's a very interesting area that I definitely recommend looking into because I found it very interesting, both for its own sake and how it applies to discussions of equitable access to public life today now that I finished my comment, I realize it doesn't really have anything to do with the original topic. I don't exactly remember how my brain jumped to it, but it's still interesting history so I figure I'll leave it

Probably because it became harder thus turned into mens work

@@williamdavis5451 as a man, the idea that harder work = men's work is very very funny.

Hoping there will be humans here in 500 years. It's looking grim, friend.

@@mortalclown3812 Perhaps Shakespeare saw the future, friend - "Tomorrow, & tomorrow, & tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts & frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound & fury, Signifying nothing." - "Macbeth". Thanks for your reply.

I disagree! history should be taught through a variety of methods. learning through books is vitally important, both textbook style books and books that are primary sources themselves or are collections of primary sources, but as you rightfully allude to, they're not always the best method for teaching because there is no single "best" method for communicating anything. kids these days can and do read. if there's any defect in their ability to read or learn more generally, it's because the older generations have not provided sufficient, effective education. schools aren't adequately funded, after all, and that's not the fault of the kids. they're not the ones voting to slash school funding.

@@sethescope: First very clever Seth(sethescope)!!! Second I agree with your first paragraph! However not with your second. More funding for schools? Absolutely not!!! Not another dime!!! All they've gotten were huge sums for over 1/2 century and still dolts!!! No results!!! Deplorable SAT scores!!! Videos like this one are supreme but I don't deny there are some by the same one that are very biased and anti-West!

@@roberttelarket4934 every respectable expert on education will tell you that standardized testing is bullshit lol. as a matter of objective fact, standardized testing does not measure whether someone has learned something. there's a lot of research that has been done about this and about education in general that you should read for yourself so you will be better equipped to understand the issue. given that I'm not an expert, I'm just someone who has done some research of my own, that's really all I can say about it. I will leave you with my enthusiastic encouragement to learn more about this subject from scientists who study this area!

@@sethescope: To an extent standardized testing is bullshit but the SAT whether you want to believe it or not is more or less an IQ exam even though there is plenty of argument whether the IQ really measures intelligence a vague concept by many!

Eww

they mostly went to a brewer or kept their own starter (and there was a way to preserve the yeast in dried dough too, Townsends has a video on it) but it was necessary to restart it from wild yeast from time to time.

@@platedlizard John Townsends makes content about the 18th century.

I've also heard that if you're making bread constantly, the yeast just sticks around in the air, so that you don't have to harvest it from a field, but from your own kitchen.

How many people said" Honey your bread smells like a plastic toy outta the bag" in 1490? Mabe most bread smelled like that. Pretty good chance you would eat a rat turd by accident at every meal.

The relationships were not so pleasant and gleeful. Playing a role for a bit isn’t the same despite the fantastic voice over!

Wheat soda

That's hardcore, man!

Thank you very much for pointing this out 🙏

Look for "gruit ales"

But you dont know that both you and the nerd are speculating what life was really like yes ofcourse you have to the positives with the negative but more people comit suicide today with the conveniences of the modern world than in medieval life. Our current world is heading for a massive disaster because of all the massive enviromental destruction to create wealth and progress, now things are all fun at games but soon things will reset them selves.

@@RM360CR It's depressing af but you're not wrong.

Well now there's Charles III of England 🤣

@@brokenglassshimmerlikestar3407 So far. Actually he could reign under any name he wants. Both King George V and VI were actually known as "Albert" or "Bertie" to the family, and Edward VIII was "David". He could have gone with David I of England and David III of Scotland, but instead he took his grandfather's reign name, perhaps more appropriate because they both cuckolded a lot of husbands. I was hoping Charlie would reign as "Ralph I" not only because of the John Goodwin movie but because all the kings of England since William the Conqueror (aka William the Bastard) are supposed to be descended from the first Duke of Normandy, a viking named Hrolf.

Yer right, pilgrim. It's an established fact, a stark reality that goes all the way back to A.D. 33

@@69Jackjones69 NOWHERE in Scripture will you find this nonsense. It's just one more heretical teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.

They didn't have anything else

You've never heard of ad-blocking software/apps? How sad for you.

@@marthaj67 Nice, you have an extensive comment history on this video just bitching at other comments lmao. Sad. Unfortunate bot? Perhaps…

JRR Tolkien was a devout Catholic and his books are at their heart very Catholic. There are some very good youtube videos on the subject - Unlocking the Catholicism of "The Lord of the Rings" by Joseph Pearce is a good example amongst many others.

true, I find no shame in being raised catholic. I also find no shame in learning what other belief systems are. I simply can not say there is no God. When I know better, this does not make me superstitious or weak minded.

I'm catholic and no idea what the hell transubstantiation is. I'm sure nobody of that era did either

@@woodspirit98 the medieval peasants likely couldnt read, so of course not. It was a very contentious topic between theologians though.

@@bustedkeaton ohh I see, they're obviously referring to all manufacturers of dairy products.

@@winnerscreed6767 Agreed I was a little annoyed by this myself. We have held this as truth for two thousand years. If they don't believe as we do fine but at least describe it accurately.
