Best Answer

In the Middle Ages, the people used to salt meat to keep it fresh for later, as salt is a preservative and protects against bacteria, fungi, and insects.

Therefore, they used to spice their food heavily when they ate it to camoflage the heavy and therefore unpleasant taste of the salt.
