Comments by "David Himmelsbach" (@davidhimmelsbach557) on "The Food Nobody Wanted: Sourdough Bread" video.
Right off the bat you've missed the TERRIBLE water quality then normal everywhere in Europe. No-one had figured out that to get potable water they HAD to boil it. Only well water up in the mountains was naturally potable. Every other source was astoundingly contaminated. The Mayflower Pilgrims were all alcoholics because they'd spent their ENTIRE lives drinking beer and more. When they hit Boston, they'd run out -- and were all going crazy with the DTs. (!) This tidbit is always omitted in popular accounts, whereas the original diaries/ ship's records spell this all out.
