Pottage

Pottage is like a big pot of soup that people used to make a long, long time ago. Imagine you have a big pot on the stove, and you put vegetables like onions, carrots, and potatoes in it with water. You also add meat, like chicken or beef, if you have it. Then, you let it cook for a long time until everything gets really soft and delicious.

Once it's all cooked, you scoop some of the soup into a bowl and eat it. It's warm, filling, and really good for you. People used to make pottage a lot because it was an easy way to cook a lot of food at once, and it would last for a few days. It's like a big, yummy meal that can keep you full and satisfied for a long time.
