Hi everyone, I'm Emma Joy and welcome to everyone in their mob.

A weekly show from Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

This week we're talking vegetables with Wait Wait panelists, comedian and a man who

I feel like should really be named Samuel.

It's Adam Burke!

Hi Adam, Slifesamu.

Hi Emma, thanks for having me.

Oh thanks so much for coming and I'm so excited to talk to you about this fun story.

And that's how it's our cast and what it was.

Okay, so when we think of people in medieval times, we usually picture them eating lots

of juicy turkey legs, right?

But a recent study found that they actually didn't eat that much meat.

They actually mostly ate vegetables.

Oh that kind of ruins every sort of game of thrones type move because you know you want

the king like chopping down on a giant turkey leg, not just sort of like picking some carrots

out from his teeth.

I know like Adam, signed his analyze over 2,000 skeletons and probably turned about ton

of ghosts and found people during the medieval period including royalty mainly vegetables

bread and cereal.

So think less sausage McMuffins, more root a big of frosted miniweeds.

Historians think that some of the extravagant food lists they found may have just been just

bragging.
