When we speak about the Middle Ages the first thing that comes to head are the palaces and guards images. Nonetheless there is a part of the culture that is often disregarded. It is the culinary art that was employed at this moment. The type of foods that was consumed depended primarily on the socio-economic class you belong to. For instance meat was reserved for the rich people and the noble class.
Rich individuals were in fact the only one that was hunting down for venison. This included animals such as boar, deer and rabbits. The primary food of the Middle Ages consisted chiefly of various type of bread. The rich individuals’ bread was a white one made with fine wheat. The bread of the lower class was established on barley. This disparity in food intake was also founded on the opinion that the food of a person should be established on the type of task he does.
The rich people in the Middle Ages also begun to domesticate animals for consumption thus securing a supply of food. One text that I have came across lately and dealing with middle ages recipes is garbure bearnaise and this should perhaps interest you. Food cooking then again depended on the social class. For instance the rich people had access to great kitchens and they were also serviced by numerous maids and servants. But Then the poor made their food in their tiny houses.
During the major portion of the Middle Ages the kitchen was tied to the house and it is just till late middle ages that outside kitchens were constructed. They were also some kitchen utensils that were obtainable at this time although there was not that great kind of instruments that we have now. Nevertheless this was not at all affordable by the poor.
