Perpetual Stew
"..medieval peasants would rarely empty out their cauldron “except in preparation for the meatless weeks of Lent.” The rest of the time, the cauldron sat above the fire for weeks on end; any available food was simply thrown in.
The medieval perpetual stew ... was “an ever-changing broth enriched daily with whatever was available… a hare, hen or pigeon would give it a fine, meaty flavor; the taste of salted pork or cabbage would linger for days, even weeks.”
Challenging times call for ingenuity and a strong stomach.
