Скачать или смотреть No Fridge, No Electricity: How They Preserved Meat in 1315

In 1315, the rains didn't stop, and the crops rotted. Without refrigerators or electricity, how did medieval peasants keep their meat from spoiling during the Great Famine? In this video, we uncover the 7 lost arts of medieval food preservation that held the "hungry gap" at bay.

From the science of osmosis in salt curing to the architectural genius of the "Still House" for smoking, we analyze the survival skills that saved Europe. Discover the secrets of "potted meat" (the ancestor of canned food), why fermentation was safer than water, and how families survived the "Year Without Summer." These aren't just history lessons; they are practical survival skills for the modern world.

If you are interested in history, survival skills, or food science, this deep dive into the Middle Ages is for you.
