If you could go back in time to experience one era of cuisine, what would it be? For me, it would be the Roman empire under Trajan or Hadrian. Original and authentic garum would be quite the treat.

id go back and eat the first meat cooked over fire, just to enjoy it with the bros

I'd do the opposite, bring back gyros to the ancient Greeks and see what they think. Have some philosopher do a food review.

Meiji Japan to try the interesting desserts and dishes as the Japanese tried to imitate and incorporate western cuisine plus all the amazing washoku

For me? It would be getting to try medieval renaissance foods. Roasted rabbits with seasonally gathered herbs, pottage, rye from the local baker, and homemade cheese

19th century Papua, I'd teach them how to properly cook human meat, so that it would be considered as culinary culture now, just for the lulz.

I want to know what William The Conqueror ate.

He was powerful and oppressive but not affluent in England; he had just sacked the country and it was a mud pit full of people who hated him and his nobles. Did he have delicious French pork with mustard in 1067? Or did they not import any of that until he was old in 1077?

He lived in a cold drafty English castle far from his home, inundated with politics and administration, barely able to pay for significant civic projects like the White Tower and the first motte and bailey version of Windsor.

WHAT DID HE EAT? We know even his son and successor William Rufus ate nothing but game meat and the occasional root vedge. Nothing like the lamb and hens and cakes that later kings would enjoy.

WHAT DID WILLIAM EAT WHILE HARRYING THE NORTH?

Big doubt, that's literally hunter-gatherer diet, you can't have an entire army relying only on that.

[Anonymous No.18838615]

>>18838602
we all know that wheat was the foundation of the diet so yes, of course bread and porridge but I just wonder what recipes for a nice meal would have been for people like Rufie. Rufus may have had chickens but William certainly didn't at least not in his first couple years

Shit man I can't pick one. I fucking love gastronomy and the history of food, I studied anthropology/archaeology and got hooked on this stuff. I'll go on streaks where I try to create meals from certain regions and periods using only historically accurate ingredients. Unfortunately I'm lacking much of the wild edibles and foraged foods, and obviously modern supermarket varietal of produce are very different than the heirloom produce available to those time periods, but it's fun.

Probably Iron Age to Medieval Scandinavia, especially Norway and Sweden.

What's your opinion on the El Yucateco salsa kutbil-ik de?

They claim to have based the sauce on remnants of seeds and paste found in pottery dating from pre-contact years

In theory I think this is cool beans but maybe it's all just cheep marketing bullshit

dried in the sun until it was rotting, and yet they still found a way to keep it edible, preservable in jars, and easily transportable.

Garum was so highly traded that garum jars (piccel) are routinely found by divers in the Mediterranean and whey they assume an intact 2000yo pottery is worth money the antique dealers laugh and offer them $20.

It's like selling McDonald's Fancy Ketchup™ packets
