Medieval Cooking Pots Reveal Rural People Under Muslim Rule Ate Pork!
The island of Sicily is not somewhere most of us would immediately associate with having been a powerful Islamic kingdom. However, between 841 and 1091 AD, the Emirate of Sicily was a key political center of the Muslim world. Archaeologists analyzing microscopic food residue in a sample set of 134 medieval cooking pots, dating to 1,120 years ago, have discovered that not everyone on Sicily adhered to strict Islamic dietary traditions. The scientific results show that in rural areas of Sicily “pork was consumed,” despite the fact that Islam strictly forbids the consumption of pork, ham or sausages.
This black Sicilian pig is certainly on the menu today. However, in medieval Islamic Sicily, it turns out, pork was also consumed by the rural people outside of Palermo, which was determined by the scientific analysis of food remnants found on medieval cooking pots. Source: frrlbt / Adobe Stock
Medieval Cooking Pots Say Pork Was On Sicilian Farmer’s Menu
A new study published in PLOS One shows that while Sicily was under Islamic rule around 1,120 years ago, “some natives feasted on pork,” which directly contravened Islamic religious laws.
