Take the bronze age poverty food pill.
why
Pearl barley stew is pretty good
>>21668937That looks amazing, what is it?
>>21668947A plate of Nachos Bell Grande from Taco Bell.
>>21668937I prefer the dark age pottage stew myself
>>21668937>bronze age poverty foodPic unrelated?
>>21668947It's a "Ritschert".> 300 g smoked pork> 200 g pearl barley> 200 g kidney beans (cooked or canned)> 3 carrots> 200 g celery root> Salt, to taste> Small bunch of lovage (or substitute with celery leaves)> 1.5 liters water1. Dice the carrots and celery root. Finely chop the lovage.2. Bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the smoked pork, cover, and let it simmer gently for about 40 minutes.3. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly.4. Add the pearl barley, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.5. Dice the smoked pork while the barley and vegetables are cooking.6. After 10 minutes, return the diced meat to the pot along with the kidney beans and lovage. Stir well, cover again, and let simmer for another 15 minutes.7. Season with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a bouillon cube for extra flavor.I highly, highly recommend this.
>>21668965Oh, and of course you can add potatoes and whatever you fancy to it. But this is the purest form of it.
>>21668950What is it? And why is it curry-colored?
>>21668965>bronze age>kidney beansSheer retard. Purely retarded.
>>21668937That looks pretty hearty and delicious for poverty food
>>21668975get him, bro
>>21668985Except for the pork, what's in there that is not dirt cheap?
>>21668965Ham hocks would probably be great in this too, and even cheaper than other pork except maybe feet or tails.
>>21668937>has meat>povertypick one.
>>21668937DAM THAT LOOK GOOD
Stand back, I'm making this now!
>>21668937I made a nice garbage soup which is certainly not bronze age but it's fairly similar. Lots of rough veggies with grains and légumes
>>21670119Looks hearty and spirits-raising, Anon.What's in it?
>>21670122well, it changes each time depending on what's available and cheep but here's what I can remember from that batch:>diced onion>tomada paste>peas>sweet corn>diced tomatoes>lots of vegetable broth>carrot>cabbage>broccoli and/or cauliflower>zucchini>fava beans>diced potato>kale>arockulet>barley>rice>various lentils>4 bean mix>many ürbs and lemon pepperall added at precisely the right time as to not overcook
>>21670132Awesome, I also like to throw rice into soups and stews for filler.
>>21670134such a nice texture and of course very filling. same with barley, it just take barley a lot longer to get fully saturated, I add barley when I add the beans but the rice goes in a bit later.it's a good base soup to keep and the freezer and add leftover meats or fish to when the opportunity arises
Man, I was afraid that the celery and lovage would be too overwhelming, but it came together just lovely. Very aromatic, great dish.
>>21668937>poverty foodlot of meat in that bowl m8
>>21670171what does lovage taste like? I'm reading that the stems, leaves, and seeds are all used as herbs and or spices. should I buy the leaf form or the seed form? fresh or dried?wat do with lovage
>>21670182Fresh leaves off the plant, ideally.It has a very strong... well, SOUPY, hearty smell and taste, similar to Maggi. Don't ever burn it or your house will be uninhabitable for two weeks.
>>21670132>coles tomatoes, mixed coles/woolies spices>cheap euro olive oil that regularly goes on half price>homebrand frozen veglet me friend u on ozbargain
>>21668937What is the likelihood they would jave had cured ham?
>>21670119>>21668937Isn't that solyanka?
>>21668937>bronze age>cured meat
>>21668937>bronze age poverty>meatretard
>>21670292>>21670323>Meat>Wood>FireWow
>>21670313It doesn't remotely look like that.
>>21668937that looks disgusting, at least put some chicken instead of whatever that meat is, clearly is not affordable to whoever took that picture
>>21670292>>21670323Salting and/or smoking is as old as civilization. Even tribal spear chuckers figured that shit out. The dubious part is OP calling it "poverty food".
>>21668937Way too much meat in there
>>21669036It's more the Bronze Age was Pre-Columbian Exchange. The Kidney Bean didn't arrive in Europe until the 16th century. Nor was the Potato around for that matter.
>>21668937>meatwoah okay there mister moneybags, no need to flex
Can you imagine how horrible European food was before the Colombian Exchange? No potatoes, tomatoes, kidney beans, chili peppers. Like holy shit.
>>21670554Forgot, also, no corn! Did Yuros just eat onions and leeks?
>>21670554Imagine how terrible pre-columbian American food was as well! No onions, garlic, citrus, sugar or olives.Also, the only meat livestock the Amerindians had was Turkey and Deer. No fatty domesticated animals like pig, chicken, cow or lamb. What a miserable cuisine!
>>21670313soup doesn't need a recipe or name. it's soup.
>>21670554Forgetting peasants for the moment, you can do just fine with meat, grain, vegetables, and Mediterranean spices.
>>21670557we ate basically every brassica under the sun.
>>21670582The fuck, where in the old world was there sugarcane? Thought that was a new world thing
>>21670678India. They invented refined sugar.
>>21670678Also, a lot of bean-type legumes came from the old world. Green pea, fava (broad bean), garbanzo (chickpea), lentil, black-eyed pea (actually a bean). And, of course, melons and watermelons.
>>21670678India, the Middle East, North Africa, southern Spain, Canary Islands. It became a really big deal during the age of sail because the Caribbean presented Europeans with a whole fuckton of ripe land to grow sugar cane without having to go through the T*rks.
>>21670582Potato soft tacos and guac though
>>21668937I am Slovenian, this is our national dish. I have eaten ričet more times than I can count. I wouldn't exactly call it good. I mean, if I had my choice of cold weather stews, I'd rather eat lancashire hotpot or some French equivalent.
>>21668937too much meat for the bronze age
>>21670998If you know and have eaten this, you live in this circle.
>>21671025that's not true at all, everyone in Slovenia eats ričet with the possible exception of western Slovenes who are Italian-influenced. It is there, around Trieste, that another popular Slovenian stew, jota, originates, and some websites like the popular Croatian one that rates all the dishes, seem to think jota is a local dish in Slovenia, but it is not, though it used to be before this present century. Ričet however is ancient, it has always been eaten by most Slovenes.
>>21670313fuck i love solyanka
>>21671020For poor people at least.
>>21668950God I love thick stews. I go for lentil stew a lot.
>>21670267bit of a glib tone †bh
>>21668937That doesn't look like starving to death
>>21670582You forgot about bison!
>>21671872Who said they were starving?
