    I expect medieval bread that goes to peasants to be hard enough to work as hammers. The wine would probably be half water. The cheese, funnily enough, would probably be the best tasting thing in the home. We’re talking about cheese that is supposed to last months on end without refrigeration. A wandering cockroach that gets to the cheese might be some extra seasoning for the peasant, too.

      Wine would definitely not be water because clean drinking water was more valuable than wine for sure.

      Wine that has less than 60% water is just brandy.

      If peasants were given brandy, sign me up. I’ll have it with cake, thanks.
