re: Medieval farmers ate 7000-9000 calories a dsy

wasn't porridge pretty much oatmeal? You'd have to eat around 50 cooked cups of it to hit that many calories. I know whatever they were making was more calorie dense than that but I'm guessing they put a lot of fat in whatever they were eating to be able to hit that many calories.


Just wondering what 9000 calories of food in a day looked like without all the processed shite we have today.
