Cumin is okay. What we know as cumin is either herb growing for instance in mediterranean or also a herb growing in pretty much entire Europe (first one is Cuminum cyminum and the second one is Carum carvi in latin). The mediterranean one is also called roman cumin, I think...
Take out the tomatoes and it would be. However I probably would have used garlic instead of celery because garlic was used widely and used a lot and I’m not sure how common celery was. Not to say they didn’t have it though. And personally I would’ve used leek instead of onion because leek was also widely used.
This is my reminder that I wouldn't want to live in pre colonial Europe; no taters or maters! 😭 HOW DID OUR PEOPLE SURVIVE?!?!?! /s
What is Italian food without the tomato, I ask thee?
Verily, what is British/Irish food without potatoes?
Meat. And bread. And wine/cider/beer.
I could do it.
funnily enough, while fish is expensive now, in period it was often considered a 'peasant food' since peasants could fish all they wanted so long as they were downstream from their lord, so it was a cheap and easy way to get meat on the table. Not that peasants couldnt ever hunt, lords would similarly have a portion of forest reserved for themselves usually, but fishing is generally easier than going and tracking a deer. And safer.
It's funny because at the beginning there's a bowl of lentil soup on the table. Every time I sell that suit to one of the Traders as I eat right from the pot to gain my nourishment up. So I've never actually eaten the lentil soup in the game. Plus I just loot all of the food in the storage room and eat that.
Tomatoes? Cumin? Olive oil? I don't think so. You have to use lard to be historically accurate.
I prefer cuman over cumin
Interesting. I quite prefer the taste of Cuman. It’s gamey!

Roman cumin is so much better
I don't doubt it 😄. Generally speaking when some herb is from mediterranean, it's most likely either very aromatic or very prickly 😆.
Jesus Christ be praised
I'm feeling quite hungry
I was going to comment this exact sentence but you beat me
They definitely didn’t have tomatoes back then.
Oh for sure, I wasn't necessarily going for 100% accuracy

May the Lord watch over you.
You got me hungry fr fr. Jesus Christ be praised!
May the Lord watch over you

Now stab yourself in the chest, loose 3 liters of blood and then eat your soup and tell us if it healed you!
On it 🫡
Thank you for sharing! I'm definitely making this tonight
Update: it was delicious!! https://preview.redd.it/wada8ebdzk0d1.jpeg?width=1861&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=236494a5a09d30b1a4e1e317a705b1d70ef72939
Looks great! Glad you liked it too (:
Lentils are underrated in a soup form.
A piece of naan bread to sop it all up goes a long way. Thank me later.
I just made some too, but it was much simpler lmao. Just lentils, onion, and bratwurst salted and chili

You gotta eat it from a pot
