Have you by any chance been playing Kingdom Come lately? Soupy beer that you need to drink with a straw is an ancient Egyptian thing, and that game is the only instance I know of that getting associated with the Middle Ages.
After 1400 or so beer had settled in to the combo of water, yeast, malt and, increasingly but not always, hops that we still drink today. :beerpal:

I've read that one item considered representative of femininity was the sieve carried at the belt so that the woman of the household could strain any remaining soupy porridgey bits out upon serving (her being the one to pour and serve the beverages, thus offering hospitality, being an important aspect of her role in the household). I don't remember details like "where i read this" but all the sources on my shelf focus on pre-14th-century England and its northern French cultural sphere.
