    DARN VICTORIANS! I have been taken in by one of the many Victorian fabrications surrounding Anglo-Saxon history. It turns out, the wonderful story about the origin of honeymoons was made up in th 19th century with no historical evidence for it. They got me!

    I like the Bayeux shirts. But, why aren't you making kitchen utensils? I would think a tasting history wooden spoon, slotted spoon, and spatula set or cookbook stand, spoon rest, or some things like that would be a lot of fun.

    I'm welsh and hadn't put medd and wedi meddwi together before, thats really funny. Also mêl means honey and melis means sweet, so I guess our word for sweet literally means "like honey" lol. I guess you know that day by day, we either speak english or a bastardisation of the two languages, I probably would have figured that out years ago if I spoke welsh daylly lol. My guess for the word lengh there, considering the word "bubble" had not been coined, and the need for sterility in brewing means to "come to a rolling boil", because "big bubbles, no troubles".

    8:30 "History based game"
    Meanwhile on the picture – some ridiculous fantasy Xena-ish character that has literally zero to do with actual, historically accurate vikings, is rather based on an absolutely fantasy TV series that isn't just historically inaccurate, it feels like the creators had the goal to show everything NOT the way it actually was. Sooo… your favorite period, you say? Ok…

    In Indian Religious Vedas, The alcohol made from honey is not Soma, the correct term is Somras (som – rus) means juice of Soma plant. So it was alcohol made from juice of Som plant. The alcohol made from honey in India was called Madira (muh-dira). Honey was called Madhu or Mudh (m-the) which comes from a proto Iranian language from which we get word Mead.

    I made mead when i went away once. I had a massive bottle (about 1 litre) of honey that had crystallized. I put some very warm wayer in it to dissolve it all, then added yarrow leaves and goji berries and left in on the side for a couple weeks. It did have sunlight coming in the window so it wasnt dark but mostly not in direct sunlight if i remember well. It turned out pretty decent!!
