    Wasn’t the bread filled with…uh, fillers, the wine closer to vinegar, and I’m scared about the cheese on principal?

    That being said, with more hygenic food practices it does sound nice.

      Your bread is filled with sawdust, they just call it cellulose filler.

      Your cheese is an oil product.

      What you have in your favor is being able to go to a store and buy a fruit only grown in southeast Asia from 8,000 miles away.

        The last one has the catch that it has to be a marketable fruit.

        There are exotic fruits that “bleed” and such but don’t look good on a stall and therefore not profitable. Botanists might know more.

        My cheese is definitely not an oil product…but my cheese also doesn’t come out of a can

      I don’t think bread in the mediaeval period was generally filled with fillers. It might’ve not been good quality, dependent on your means, but I don’t think there was much of an issue of things like sawdust being used.

      no, bakers did that for a time and everyone hated it so fucking much that laws were passed that meant bakers caught doing anything even vaguely questionable could literally be given the death penalty for it.

      Being a baker in the past fucking sucked because bread was basically holy
