Fun fact: Hollandaise might only be a recognized mothersauce because of a mixup. Alex did the research and concluded that mayonaise should hold the title according to Escoffiers original work.

So much this. To not have salt 50k years ago you'd have to be part of a population that had never -- and had never had any contact with a population that had ever -- come in contact with a seacoast. Salt is more core to humanity than yeast and wheat
Well he knows an awful lot about it, I have been watching his channel as long as this one. He actually does tons of research. I think Tasting History is Awesome ❤️ but this video was different, and that is cool too. ❤
The tomato bit was backwards. Wealthy were the ones getting sick because they were eating on pewter plates - the acidity of the tomato leeches lead from pewter, causing poisoning. Peasantry ate on ceramic, wood, or trenchers which meant they were totally safe. Tomatoes were also previously called Wolf Apples
Its sad to me they remodeled the mcdonalds to all look depressed. They shoulda done a 60s vibe. Its a burger nugget and fry and frosty stop man.. forgot where they started
“Respect traditional recipes, but learn how to break the rules” may be my new favorite cooking motto. You should collab with tasting history for another video about this subject! I’m sure he’d have a lot more to offer you on this subject :)
Fun fact: Korean red pepper originated (like all chili peppers) in Mexico. Then traveled to Japan through conquest of Mexico and then trade via Portugal. And then moved to Korea by a failed invasion by Japan. Fast forward a few centuries. Now we have the Mexican tortilla meeting back with its old friend the Korean red pepper in this wonderful quesadilla. Your welcome. (Also, Mexican Korean mixed foods are amazing. Me (Korean) and my brother in law (Mexican) come together and make combos we think of all the time and it’s amazing)
Not gonna lie....this is very Joshua Weissman. There are so so many historical cooking videos that are very interesting and way more on point. Josh is just Joshing this. It's like he just started with Josh and worked backwards instead of doing it the other way around.
Fun fact about why they thought that tomatoes were poisonous, the nobility used pewter plates and the acidity in the tomatoes reacted with it. Since there was a lot of lead in the plates, it would lead to lead poisoning :)

Joshua, I think you have your early timeline way out of wack. Hominins/hominids were using hand axes and other cutting tools as far back as like 1.75 million years ago. There's evidence of stone spears going back half a million years ago. Heck, by 100,000 years ago we became what's known as anatomically modern humans, and absolutely had mastery over stone tools. And, as one last thought, humans really emphasized the gathering part of hunting and gathering, as much as 90% of calories came from things like fruit, nuts, tubers, edible greens, etc. This made me a little dubious of the no spices part. You think early humans didn't think to eat combine things like onion grass, wild garlic, etc with meat?

Ray Kroc didn’t open the first McDonald’s. The first was opened by Maurice, and Richard McDonald in 1940 and revamped in 1948. They franchised in the 50s but they were around for 15 years before that.

@@carbonfiber492 McDonald’s was already very popular. He franchised it but it was definitely very popular already. And I agree Sanders was very innovative with his pressure fryers.
I'm sure they also had fire too keep warm in those frigid ass climates. Now whether or not they used fire too cook could be debatable. However since we have an attraction too cooked meat (like the just imagining the smell can make you salivate) it would have had the same alluring incentive for early human. It's one of those cravings that's programmed into our DNA. Just like our love for simple sugar since it's such easy energy it was life saving in those days.

Josh the earliest known use of tools is 3.3 million years ago. At least one group of early humans had tools at the given year of 2,500,000 B.C. It was part of whats called the Paleolithic Period, a period beginning 3.3million years ago and with it's main defining feature being the use of stone tools.
@@delxinogaming6046 Yeah the tricky part of the debate is the fact we had stone tools long before we were homo sapiens, so some ponder if the true Stone Age is during this time as well or only truly begins with us as 100% Homo Sapiens.
@@delxinogaming6046 They weren't. They were not nearly as intelligent as us... so uh... we definitely had tools. Humans almost certainly evolved with fire and hand tools. Homo Erectus almost definitely had fire. We 100% did.
They definitely had herbs 50,000 years ago. They gathered a lot of local plant based food. Meat was more of a supplement to the plants. We just don't eat most of that stuff anymore because agriculture basically made it redundant. Hunting tools and animal bones last longer and thus were available to be found by early anthropologists. The baskets and plant based stuff pretty much rotted away. You should collab with Milo Rossi. You both have very similar senses of humor.
Also, herbs and various spices pop up in early writing as possible cures and wards for a variety of health related issues. That wasn't plucked out of thin air. But a progression of early chemical exploration by our ancestors. Did they luck into half of it? Yeah. But that knowledge was shared in oral histories and storytelling to build out a basic societal upkeep as normadic existence began. I hate seeing people shark jump to the Ancient Greeks (Athenians to be precise cos apparently fuck the rest of the city states 🤦🏾♀️ or god forbid the Minoans) from generic image of cave person. It's tiresome
That’s completely untrue. Meat was the DOMINANT source of calories. We can analyze what people are through nitrogen analysis. We were HYPER carnivores-more so than foxes and wolves, even. Go out into the wild forest and try to survive on mostly plants. You won’t. Not unless you eat several coconuts a day and potatoes and then some meat, but maybe only 5% if the population would’ve had access to that
If anybody is interested a mural was recently discovered in Pompei which, if interpreted correctly, would suggest that the idea of a "pizza" or a flat bread with toppings existed as far back as the first century (they used to put fruit on it mainly so idk if it counts, but tomato is technically a fruit as well, so I think it counts)
I really miss the single recipe videos... I instantly subscribed because I could learn new stuff in cooking for me, and a I loved the videos! I really hope he gets back to good old Josh
By god I swear: Coffee in the middle east is amazing. For a little bit of history lesson for you reading this: Coffee was not allowed for catholics (Mostly all of europe at the time, before Protestantism). Then, some genius decided "Screw that, I'll show them" and did. They served coffee to the pope, and not to long after that, it was deemed "very christian, papal stamp of approval". Then not long after that, the first coffee houses started appearing. Kinda like a pub, but more like the cafès of modern europe. So thank you a lot, coming from one of the most coffee drinking nations on the planet. As I usually joke with my coworkers when I get my coffee: "most important meal of the day". God I love the stuff.
A Monster Hunter's Well-Done Steak! All that's missing is that little custom cooking spit they carry around, which just attached a winch directly to the end of the bone. And the music of course. So tasty!
I don't know exactly what i was expecting, but i was a bit disappointed the video wasnt more informative. Like a video from Tasting History with Max Miller
When the Indian recipe said pepper, they probably meant pepper corn. That was the spice of choice to add heat to dishes in India before chilis, bell peppers and such were introduced through colonization. But I’m probably thinking about it too much. Actually, maybe I am thinking too much because that would be a little too much pepper corns
@@dylancool Columbus sailed to America in 1492. The first attempted colonization of India was by the Portuguese in the early 1500’s. But you are right in your larger point. This is a recipe of British India, so bell peppers and chili peppers would have been familiar to India by now.
I paused at that moment, too, thinking of long "pepper". However, at that time, chili peppers were already cultivated and popular. Plus, that quantity of long pepper would be super gross, even by historical standards. Likely both were used.
@brandonfoley7519 yep they're all from the America's, but were among the earliest spices brought to Europe and Asia by the Portuguese during what's commonly called the Columbian Exchange
Eggs, rice, spam, chili garlic sauce, onions , and garlic all fried together. This is one of the best fried rice dishes I’ve ever had. It gets better as it stays in the fridge and is super cheap.

Double Quarter Pounder has always been the goat at MCD's, no clue who is out there eating Big Macs or really any of the other burgers. They are surprisingly good, as you just found out!
This is more of a video I'd think I'd see on cooking through history but still a cool concept and I'd love to see more cooking channels do their own historical recipes
@@InvisableCactus101 its almost like we don't have every piece of info from the time period the recipes were in and therefor up to interpretation. because we do not physically have all the knowledge. WOW. IMAGINE THAT.
The TV dinners were originally heated in the oven. Modern average homes didn't have microwaves till about the mid 70s. The marketing was targeted at housewives who's list of to-dos was longer than they were tall.
5:10 sugar was actually produced in India since 1500 BC... and Indian recipes ("CURRY") didn't started in 18th century... the written record you are saying about is from british which was written in English in that year... but in reality, written curry and Indian recipes can be dated back to 1500BC... don't think the origin of a recipe is the day when britishers decided to write it
I will always trust Josh when he says anything is delicious because if someone knows the deliciousness that is SPAM and how to elevate it. They have a palette that can be trusted.
You are one of my favorite new generation of chefs. Love your book. You are probably not going to read this but take a look at Townsend and son (spelling) it’s a Historical cooking reenactment. Really fascinating.
Regular/Double Quarter Pounders are better than other McD's burgers because they're cooked to order, so they're always just right. If you get lucky sometimes you can get fresh Double Cheeseburgers that are as good if not better b/c of some extra grease when fresh.
Old school Kyoto style pickled mackerel sushi is amazing. It looks the same as modern nigiri sushi, but is way different in both flavor and texture. The fish has a wonderful firm bite and texture with a balanced salt and acid flavor from the preservation process. Because it's aged, it has a much stronger flavor. Modern nigiri is subtle in comparison, even with soy sauce and wasabi.
Speaking of burgers (because of the mcdonald's section), buffalo wild wings burgers are HIGHLY underrated. I never hear anyone talk about them but they're better than many restaurants I've been to that specialize in burgers. Highly recommended.

@@delxinogaming6046 They weren't. They were not nearly as intelligent as us... so uh... we definitely had tools. Humans almost certainly evolved with fire and hand tools. Homo Erectus almost definitely had fire. We 100% did.
They definitely had herbs 50,000 years ago. They gathered a lot of local plant based food. Meat was more of a supplement to the plants. We just don't eat most of that stuff anymore because agriculture basically made it redundant. Hunting tools and animal bones last longer and thus were available to be found by early anthropologists. The baskets and plant based stuff pretty much rotted away.
You should collab with Milo Rossi. You both have very similar senses of humor.
i can see an edited-in giga-slap for underselling how cool our ancient ancestors were
Also, herbs and various spices pop up in early writing as possible cures and wards for a variety of health related issues. That wasn't plucked out of thin air. But a progression of early chemical exploration by our ancestors. Did they luck into half of it? Yeah. But that knowledge was shared in oral histories and storytelling to build out a basic societal upkeep as normadic existence began. I hate seeing people shark jump to the Ancient Greeks (Athenians to be precise cos apparently fuck the rest of the city states 🤦🏾♀️ or god forbid the Minoans) from generic image of cave person. It's tiresome
Didn't agriculture start way after 50,000 B.C. tho?
That’s completely untrue. Meat was the DOMINANT source of calories. We can analyze what people are through nitrogen analysis. We were HYPER carnivores-more so than foxes and wolves, even.
Go out into the wild forest and try to survive on mostly plants. You won’t. Not unless you eat several coconuts a day and potatoes and then some meat, but maybe only 5% if the population would’ve had access to that
You're clueless.
If anybody is interested a mural was recently discovered in Pompei which, if interpreted correctly, would suggest that the idea of a "pizza" or a flat bread with toppings existed as far back as the first century (they used to put fruit on it mainly so idk if it counts, but tomato is technically a fruit as well, so I think it counts)
oh yeah flat bread was huge in the ancient world before it got to europe.
The Persians heated flatbread with toppings on their shields 2600 years ago
Another point for "Pineapple Belongs On Pizza" confirmed.
Focaccia is still under-rated.
this was absolutely fire, glad too see somebody like a chef care so much about food history. Thank you for this video god bless you amen !🙏
I love to see the different food throughout the years!! The kimchi quesadilla and the pasta look amazing😊
I really miss the single recipe videos... I instantly subscribed because I could learn new stuff in cooking for me, and a I loved the videos! I really hope he gets back to good old Josh
AM SO GLAD THAT YOU GOT THE COFFEE HISTORY CORRECT, YEMENI PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GROWING COFFEE FROM CENTURIES ❤
By god I swear: Coffee in the middle east is amazing. For a little bit of history lesson for you reading this: Coffee was not allowed for catholics (Mostly all of europe at the time, before Protestantism). Then, some genius decided "Screw that, I'll show them" and did. They served coffee to the pope, and not to long after that, it was deemed "very christian, papal stamp of approval". Then not long after that, the first coffee houses started appearing. Kinda like a pub, but more like the cafès of modern europe. So thank you a lot, coming from one of the most coffee drinking nations on the planet. As I usually joke with my coworkers when I get my coffee: "most important meal of the day". God I love the stuff.
I don’t know how to explain at the moment but you inspire me to go to Pinterest. LOVE YOUR GIDEOS BY THE WAY!!💕
1:10 iconic meat on a stick
A Monster Hunter's Well-Done Steak! All that's missing is that little custom cooking spit they carry around, which just attached a winch directly to the end of the bone.
And the music of course. So tasty!
Nah its nikuuuuuuu
MEAT!
I don't know exactly what i was expecting, but i was a bit disappointed the video wasnt more informative. Like a video from Tasting History with Max Miller
Yeah too much creative liberty here and really modern heavy. I was also disappointed.
When the Indian recipe said pepper, they probably meant pepper corn. That was the spice of choice to add heat to dishes in India before chilis, bell peppers and such were introduced through colonization. But I’m probably thinking about it too much.
Actually, maybe I am thinking too much because that would be a little too much pepper corns
Spices were introduced via colombian exchange centuries before colonisation of india
@@dylancool Columbus sailed to America in 1492. The first attempted colonization of India was by the Portuguese in the early 1500’s. But you are right in your larger point. This is a recipe of British India, so bell peppers and chili peppers would have been familiar to India by now.
I paused at that moment, too, thinking of long "pepper". However, at that time, chili peppers were already cultivated and popular. Plus, that quantity of long pepper would be super gross, even by historical standards. Likely both were used.
@@hawkatsea I'm only familiar with "capsicum" kind of peppers
Which is exclusively from the americas
@brandonfoley7519 yep they're all from the America's, but were among the earliest spices brought to Europe and Asia by the Portuguese during what's commonly called the Columbian Exchange
Eggs, rice, spam, chili garlic sauce, onions , and garlic all fried together. This is one of the best fried rice dishes I’ve ever had. It gets better as it stays in the fridge and is super cheap.

Double Quarter Pounder has always been the goat at MCD's, no clue who is out there eating Big Macs or really any of the other burgers. They are surprisingly good, as you just found out!
Back in the day, just put quarter patties on instead of the smaller meat to a Big Mac.

This is more of a video I'd think I'd see on cooking through history but still a cool concept and I'd love to see more cooking channels do their own historical recipes
Ray Kroc did not open the first McDonalds - the McDonald's brothers did. He just franchised their concept.
As someone from yemen, thank you josh for mentioning my country ❤
Tomatoes weren't introduced to Italy until the 16th century, so whatever lasagna they had during the 14th century would not have a tomato based sauce.
Probably your most epic video. I loved the ending. I hope more people are waking up like that!!
Almost every single recipe has a side note of "Maybe they added this, maybe they didn't." - and it's usually cheese.
Maybe um, just do more research.
no Fr tho like why make a video on food and then be like "maybe they added this maybe they didn't" shit is WILD

The TV dinners were originally heated in the oven. Modern average homes didn't have microwaves till about the mid 70s. The marketing was targeted at housewives who's list of to-dos was longer than they were tall.

5:10 sugar was actually produced in India since 1500 BC... and Indian recipes ("CURRY") didn't started in 18th century... the written record you are saying about is from british which was written in English in that year... but in reality, written curry and Indian recipes can be dated back to 1500BC... don't think the origin of a recipe is the day when britishers decided to write it
I will always trust Josh when he says anything is delicious because if someone knows the deliciousness that is SPAM and how to elevate it. They have a palette that can be trusted.
Sorry Josh, this time you were not accurate in almost every recipe…

"Shoutout to farming practices that are questionable" I feel like I want to use that in every cooking video now.
Kimchi hotdogs are the greatest! Hot dog, warm bun, kewpie mayo, chopped kimchi. Perfection.
You are one of my favorite new generation of chefs. Love your book. You are probably not going to read this but take a look at Townsend and son (spelling) it’s a Historical cooking reenactment. Really fascinating.
Respect to this dude for living for 1Million years
Regular/Double Quarter Pounders are better than other McD's burgers because they're cooked to order, so they're always just right. If you get lucky sometimes you can get fresh Double Cheeseburgers that are as good if not better b/c of some extra grease when fresh.
Old school Kyoto style pickled mackerel sushi is amazing. It looks the same as modern nigiri sushi, but is way different in both flavor and texture. The fish has a wonderful firm bite and texture with a balanced salt and acid flavor from the preservation process. Because it's aged, it has a much stronger flavor. Modern nigiri is subtle in comparison, even with soy sauce and wasabi.

Okay, you have me simultaneously wanting some good sushi AND a grilled Spamburger, no wonder you have so many subs!
Speaking of burgers (because of the mcdonald's section), buffalo wild wings burgers are HIGHLY underrated. I never hear anyone talk about them but they're better than many restaurants I've been to that specialize in burgers. Highly recommended.
I never knew they had burgers! I make sure to try them in the future.
