Today, we offer you a salty saga from #medieval England.
According to an #AngloNorman chronicle, in 1325: ‘En cel temps la meer surmontoit l’eawe de Thamise qe fust salee, par quei moltz des gentz se pleignoient de la cervoise qe fu salee’ Anon Chr2 122
(At this time the sea swept over the water of the Thames which became saline. As a result many people complained of the ale which became salty)

E quant li emfez serra neez [...] Puis en berce le cochez, E de une bercere (𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥: 𝘢 𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘦 ) vous purveez 𝗕𝗜𝗕𝗕 𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗛 (𝗚) 𝟴
