Medieval FrumentyThere was little in the way of fresh food during a medieval winter. Meat, if you could get it, was salted, brined, or smoked (or some combination of the three). During some particularly harsh winters in the beginning of the 1300s, rivers froze for months at a time, making it impossible for water-powered mills to grind wheat into flour.At such a time, this hearty porridge would be just the ticket. Everyone ate frumenty during the Middle Ages, from royalty to peasants, though wealthier people would add expensive spices and sugar and serve it with venison.This frumenty is made of whole wheat berries and is a rib-sticking, satisfying meal all by itself. The wheat berries retain some wonderful texture so that it’s not just a mush, and egg yolks add richness and flavor. It’s more flavorful than I thought it would be, but I’d add some cinnamon and sugar.

"Bladud in exile" — Benjamin WestThe painting depicts the obscure British legend of Bladud, a prince exiled from his father's court because he suffered from leprosy. Forced to work as a swineherd, he discovered that his pigs' ailments were cured when they wallowed in the mud of local hot springs. After bathing in the waters himself, he too was healed and later returned to court—eventually founding the city of Bath.📸 Royal Academy of Arts, London
