A vegetable wouldn't hurt you.

Would a medieval peasant have access to that much meat?

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.

A medieval peasant on a celebration day. I doubt they could eat a whole as chicken every day

Skyrim ass meal. need a wheel of cheese with it.

Oh damn, that's a fucking feast! Peasents can't afford that shit.

"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chicken meal?", "Get your hand off my baguette!"

More like a medieval king.

You're eating like Final Fight.

Roasted chicken.

Bread.
100% health let's go!!!

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.

No utensils required

If by "peasant" you mean "knight of the fucking round table" then yes

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.

A few things to unpack here.

• That chicken is roasted nicely, but I completely understand if that was bought in that condition at the grocer's.
• Plain bread is a travesty. it needs to be either toasted and/or you need some melted butter or gravy to sop up.
• Pair this with some fruit or pan seared/roasted vegetables. Even microwaved beans would make this nutritious. Takes very little effort, very easy to do.
• Even peasants had access to beer, ale, or home-made short-beer/kvass. Gotta calorie-max so you can work in the field tomorrow. Plus, the alcohol helps with the constant muscle-aches and fatigue from endless labor.

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.

A medieval peasant would be wishing they could est like this.

The person for sure needs to learn how to cook

Peasants? That wpuld be a medieval noble

Looks pretty good, but I'd like some BBQ sauce, at least.

Needs butter.

You're going to be constipated

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.

😂 I don't think I eat that much meat in a whole month, but I also "cook" very simply. Quantity and taste are more important than style.

A lazy supermarket special - a roast chicken in a bag and a baguette roll picked up on the way to the checkout. We've all been there and I'm sure it makes a passable meal, but cooking is a skill everyone should endeavour to be proficient in.

That's a US$5 Costco rotisserie
