My point was that, with rare exceptions generally ended quickly and bloodily, the Middle Ages did not have anything resembling modern labor unions.

But most important of all, they did not have mircrowave ovens. Now that I call barbarian living.

- If Italian peasants of that time would’ve been provided the opportunity of tasting microwave food, they would probably have considered anyone insane to pay for and even EAT it a true barbarian.

They had microwave ovens. They just hadn't invented electricity yet, so they couldn't run them.
