What a Tudor Kitchen Was REALLY Like (1540) | Boring History for Sleep

DESCRIPTION: One working day inside the kitchen of a Tudor great house in 1540 — the kitchen court before dawn, the great hearth and the turning of the spits, the bakehouse and the daily bread, fish days and fast days, the larder and the salt, the buttery and the brewhouse where the whole house's ale is made, a feast day seen from the kitchen, and the long washing-up before the fires are banked for the night. A slow, true history episode made for sleep: no sudden noises, no cliffhangers, nothing to remember. Narrated by Robert.
