Wait, wait, back to the Berlin supplies. What in the world can you do with 19 live cattle? All the other items are for like a hundred thousand people, over a six month period. Was this so that for just one day, everyone could have fresh meat?

They probably had powdered milk stocked but wanted to have fresh milk for children or the ill or anyone else who needs full fat milk. I have not looked into this at all I'm just guessing. Also you can eat the cows when they don't give more milk.

Zopotantor posted:They just added plaster, alum or worse. In 1858 William "Humbug Billy" Hardaker were selling candy which he got from Joseph Neal. Usually Neal just added plaster to substitute sugar but one day he sent his assistant William Goddard to get the supplies. He mistakenly picked up arsenic instead. Everyone who was involved in making the candy got sick but they sold it anyway which resulted in the death of 21 people while 200 got severely ill.

Maybe it was like a Noah's Ark thing and they wanted to keep them just in case all the outside cows die and they needed to breed more. Cows don't eat mustard so they probably weren't too worried about them eating too much food

The cows were clandestinely entered into the list by the KGB and served as Soviet spies at West Berlin‘s top secret strategic mustard-and-cigars reserve, duh

drrockso20 posted:Not his fault that Nutmeg was ridiculously popular back then The history of nutmeg itself is also fascinating. For example, the Dutch colony that became New York (and a few other states) was ceded to Britain as part of a treaty that ceded Run in the Banda Islands to the Netherlands, giving them a monopoly on nutmeg.

As is mentioned on the wikipedia page, the Dutch gained that monopoly on Nutmeg by murdering pretty much the entire population of the Banda Islands and then repopulating the islands with slave labourers, because it was more profitable to control the island than to just keep trading with the Bandanese.

Yeah, the Dutch were not always the nice people that they are regarded as nowadays. And having had Dutch roommates, I have to say they can still be pretty ...uncivil...

Do you know how lots of historical documents talk about baker's who cheated their customers by cutting their bread with plaster/other inedible powders? Turns out, most of them were just heresay. How do we know? People tried to bake bread made to the specifications indicated and the loaves just fell to pieces.

Cows gave about 6-7 gallons of milk a day back then (modern cows give more) . 19 cows will give you enough milk for about 912 glasses of milk every day. If you're just trying to provide for nutritionally deficient and Ill children or elderly, that's plenty, and probably worthwhile.

Fun Fact: Nürnberg had a safran-schau (saffron inspector) because faking saffron was so rampant. In 1444 Jobst Findeker was burned at the stake for selling fake saffron

Weren't there historically some pretty severe penalties for shorting the customers on bread? That's why a dozen donuts, if not packed flat in a rectangular tray/box, is still thirteen. Because the Romans would execute a baker for selling light or aldulterated loaves, so it became customary to throw in an extra one on every order just to make sure you were within the law.

Putting plaster in the bread, being neck deep in witches, primae noctis...basically none of it was ever true but it was used as a reason to dislike those people. This is usually true, but in the 14th century England formed two separate bakers' guilds; one for white bread and one for brown. The bakers' assizes would routinely weigh and test both the loaves and the flour to ensure purity and weight. The competing guilds meant that punishments were extremely harsh, and a baker had to chose between the brown guild - cheap product for a wide cross section of the population, or white for limited, upper class customers and the ability to make communion wafers for the church. Extreme competition drove down price, and caused some bakers to adulterate their product - usually brown bakers because they attracted a much lower price.
