This story takes you behind the smoky curtain of a medieval kitchen — where flames danced freely, food safety was a fantasy, and every recipe started with “first, kill something.”

We’ll explore how castle cooks worked in scorching chaos, roasting entire animals over open fires with no thermometers, no gloves, and often no pants (just tunics and panic). Kitchens were filled with screaming servants, boiling cauldrons, dripping grease, and knife-wielding prep boys one sneeze away from disaster.

The black humor simmers with tales of misidentified ingredients (soap instead of salt), kitchen fires that burned down manors, and the classic “if it moves — stew it.” Food poisoning wasn’t rare, and neither were rats stealing from the pantry in plain sight.

Compared to today’s kitchen gadgets and air fryers, this was hell’s catering department — and you’re not even on break yet.
