Why did children in ancient Egypt drink beer?

Yes. All age groups drank fermented beverages at any time of day in areas where water was unsafe. Similarly, medieval English children and adults in urban areas routinely drank beer from breakfast to supper, as did others worldwide where clean fresh water was unavailable. Bear in mind that the beer we're talking about wouldn't usually have been the high-alcohol beverage which might now come to mind when we mention beer; for general, all-day consumption, a low-alcohol product would have been the norm.


What drink did they serve with breakfast in medieval England?

Prayer.Answer:The Church was strongly inclined to urge people to avoid gluttony, and this had a great deal to do with what people had for breakfast. It was recognized that peasants needed breakfast at the beginning of the day to fuel their day's work, but wealthier people avoided early breakfast, unless they needed it for health reasons.Peasants usually ate simple grain based foods or similar things for a breakfast at about dawn. This would mean bread, gruel, or porridge, all based on oats, barley, rye, and peas, but not wheat. Eggs were an important source of protein for the poor, and could have been included.Wealthy people, having fasted until midday, felt very good about having done so, and so were inclined to reward their moderate behaviour by having a large and varied meal.There is a link to an article on medieval cuisine below, and there is more detail there.

Because you can taste the flavours better. A better question would be, why are Americans obsessed with freezing cold beer? It is well known that you can hide inconsistencies and bad flavours by making the beer very cold. It has to be a much better brewed beer if you are to drink it warm.
