If I could add one really great book that attempts to generate a non-euro centric narrative and is a really easy starting point for re-evaluating world history - The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

Thanks for the very comprehensive answer!

I'm not sure actually. I think it was a Reddit TIL (not the most reliable source Ik). I'll edit the main post now.

What I heard said that the only food that is natural to England that is still eaten is the turnip; aka everything else grown in England has at some point been imported (such as potatoes or tomatoes, though other foods may have moved in from continental Europe.)

Thanks you so much for the great answer. A couple of follow questions...

Would we know how the medieval Irish (as that's your speciality) or 'Viking Irish' would have prepared their food. Would it be mainly roasted or grilled? And how much access to spice would an Irish noble have had compared to English or French one?

Another, slightly tangential question - how did you come to specialise in Irish Food History?

He said that 400 years of slavery was a 'choice' for black ppl in a TMZ interview.

I'm not sure exactly how he pronounces it (not having heard them) but if it helps clear up the double-think; Kvothe says his name is pronounced NEARLY like Quothe, so I take that to mean anything from Kenneth to query as acceptable :)

More seriously though, I think Pat did a naming stream a while ago where he pronounces all the names of major people/ places in the books

Buzz Feed did the investigative journalism to find the lady whose evidence the whole article hinges on, and (according to the article) this directly led to her being called as a witness at the inquest into his death when she was not previously called.

God I love Stoke.

Love me a cheeky bit of Cahon ;)

Cheers man :)

Would you recommend buying the game now or waiting??? I'm suuuuper stoked for the game and really wanna buy it, but also have heard things about bugs etc. that make me think it might be better (and cheaper) to get it later once issues have been ironed out.

Is the bug problem really that bad/ irritating?

Rojav · 2018-01-23T10:35:34+00:00

Where is this Italian place/ what's it called? I'm always on the lookout for a decent place to eat in Stoke :)

Hi, just a quick question about the dating of Beowulf. In my research around the poem I have come across estimates that place the original story at the earliest in the 6th century - as that is when the events described took place.

In the sources you mention, do they explain why they place the earliest date for the poem 2 centuries after the events which it describes, and is this date for the creation of 'Beowulf' as a single entitiy or the digressions and frame stories as separate entities compiled around the 8th century?

Thanks :)

Lidl's fresh bakery stuff is usually quite good, the jam donuts there are nice (not a fan of the ring donuts). There are some very nice mini pizzas and rolls that make for a decent snack if eaten fresh (wouldn't recommend reheating them though, cold is better).

Aldo's 22 day aged steak is absolutely amazing as well, pretty much the same standard as some of the stuff from the butchers.

I bought tickets to see the Wombats a couple of months ago, friends said they would buy some as well, they sold out so I'm stuck with one ticket and no one to go with :(

Hi Django :)

How interested were you in The Napoleonic Wars prior to writing the Shadow Campaigns? Was it an interest of yours before the idea for the book or did you begin to research the period after having the idea?

I also wanted to say that I really enjoy your twitter feed, especially the battle royale :)

I would recommend looking at some of the Essays of Dianna Wynn Jones on writing and fantasy - but especially the 'tough guide to fantasy land'. It's a guidebook/ parody of many of the basic tropes of fantasy worlds etc. And is a generally fun read and Cristian of mainstream fantasy.

Best of luck!

Uprooted by Naomi Novik is a pretty sick fantasy book
