Royal food

Enough fats and sugars in that recipe to stun a rhino.  Frankly, I'll stick to sushi.

Also why medieval chefs used a lot of rich sauces and gravies, to hide the taste of tainted meat.

"Living like a king" was more of a curse than a blessing.

More info on medieval food. Fruit and vegetables were always cooked, because it was thought eating them raw spread the plague. As water was unsafe to drink, people drank alcohol instead: wine for the nobility and weak beer for the peasants

Who says we're whining Centrix? Personally, I love offal-based food like haggis, black pudding, steak and kidney pie, or fried liver and bacon

Given the widespread use of human feces as fertilizer for the fields, cooking fruits and vegetables was actually a very good idea.
