Reply to TIL of the Medieval candle time clock, before electricity, a nail was placed at certain places on the lengths of the candle and people would hear the nail hit the ground when lit, letting them know a certain amount of time had passed. by FlashyBehind

Reply to comment by nesquiksand2 in Unique Pittsburgh Pizza by thereandfatagain
Betos is Ohio River Valley style, so close to Pittsburgh. Iron Born is Detroit style pizza. There is a Pittsburgh pizza style, it's heavy on sauce and on cheese, a la Mineos, Vinnies, or Fioris

Frugal barons. For most medieval folk, a candle a night could not be considered affordable let alone frugal.
