<hr />
<div>A number of methods of preserving food existed in medieval times:<br />
<br />
==Keeping food alive==<br />
In [[12th Century homes]], It was considered desirable to have a 'vivarium' in which live fish might be kept until it was time to eat them. (Holmes 1952 p93)<br />
<br />
==Drying==<br />
Many foods can be dried (like Beef Jerky).<br />
<br />
==Salting==<br />
Many foods can be salted and preserved, this works well with meats and fish.<br />
<br />
==In brine solution==<br />
Fish might be pickled in brine (salt water) before use. (holmes 1952 p93)<br />
<br />
==Smoking==<br />
Many meats can be smoked, such as salmon.<br />
<br />
==Cooking it in crusts==<br />
