Medieval Journey, Provisions

In ancient times, transporting commodities over any significant distance was an expensive and risky enterprise. Thus, commerce was restricted mainly to local markets, and the most commonly traded articles were foodstuffs and clothing. Most people spent the bulk of their resources on food, and what they neither grew nor gathered themselves they obtained through trade.

The same was true of clothing, Garments were either produced and handed down within the family or acquired through trade. In addition to food, clothing, and shelter, the rich devoted their income to conspicuous attire, jewellery, and works of art.

I have several A bread trenchers for my journey plus rye bread, some honey. I have also made some pottage, enough for two meals.

I hope to be able to pick up some turnips and parsnips during my journey along with some bacon, they will make a nice stew.
