SC - I am So Ashamed! (long)

[margali]

*sigh*
sort of bothers me both on the historical cooking and the "ritual" side
of things.

How can they say the medieval peasants both generally ate mostly
porridge and ate whatever was just coming fresh into season? How can
they claim these porridge eaters in the middle ages would propitiate the
spirits with tasty treats  at the pagan holidays and not even bother to
mention that generally the peasants had christian oligations as well.
Not to mention the 'sanitation' issues? If they had such sanitation
problems than how come they all didnt die of food poisoning?
