Document Summary
Determining what people ate in the past isn"t as easy as we think. Are series of stain glass windows which were produced through much of europe up until around the end of he 16th century. Depiction of labours of the months what people were doing in any given month. Not much goes on: its cold, people by the fire. Getting grape vines ready for growing season. Working the land ready to crop farming. Men are hunting: training falcons and dogs to hunt, shooting birds. Where the care-free months get left behind and where the work really begins. Taking the wheat and bringing it back to the village. July was the coolest months of the year for many people in europe. Sometimes the time where people run out of food, therefore, people worked the hardest but ate the least. Taking the grains out of the straw plant.
