Ekaterina Mishanenkova is a historian and reenactor, researcher of medieval life and customs, author of popular science books about the Middle Ages. What do we know about medieval cuisine? Fantasy draws vivid pictures: whole roasted carcasses of wild boars and deer are served in castles, elegant lords and ladies sit in Gothic halls, and wine red as blood spills from their goblets on the tablecloth. On the contrary, succumbing to the influence of stereotypes and costumed historical dramas, we often imagine the life of the common people as a series of very sad scenes. Poor peasants chew dry cakes or moldy bread, beggars crowd around the church, begging for at least a crust from a fat prelate, and miserable sluts in the castle kitchen spin a skewer with a deer, themselves almost dying of hunger ... But what was the culture of cooking and eating food in the Middle Ages? century really?
