Nous avons visité le cellier : c'est le frigidaire du Moyen Age ; il y fait toute l'année 12°. On y conservait les légumes, les fruits et la viande.

garde-manger pour aliments frais


Explanation:
"The larder was originally a cool room or cellar for storing meats, especially meats put down in large barrels or crocks of lard—hence the name. It was once common practice to partially cook meats and sausages, and then cover them with rendered lard until needed. Dried or smoked meats were generally stored in a loft or garret away from dampness. This division of function led to the evolution of the terms wet larder (cool room or cellar) and dry larder. The wet larder was used not only for meats stored in lard, but also as a holding room for uncooked meat, game, and vegetables. The dry larder would contain such things as dried fruit, grain chests, and even some types of hard-rind cheeses. Large loaves of rye bread were often buried in the grain chests for long-term keeping."
