medieval diet
Hey! I'll hang my post here on the post revek sent:
"Jon Mundsack" wrote in message ... "Ignoramus20984" wrote in message ... No, I eat plenty of vegetables -- tomatoes, peppers, some cauliflower, potatoes in moderation etc. I thought people believed tomatoes to be poisonous in the middle ages? I remember that too. Possibly because they are part of the nightshade family? When tomatoes are used on pewter plates the acid can leach the lead and other metals out into the food. The same goes for wines. The very rich mostly used silver or gold, the very poor used earthenware. Mainly the middle class had problems with this slow poisoning. Most "scientists" of that era were middle class. -- Stephen S. ------------------------- |
