This is pure slander. I have lived for 400 years in Romania, and never have I met someone that consumes human blood.
You just missed it
@@insaneweasel1 very unlikely. As I was cleaning my coffin after a good day's rest, as one does, I pondered on your statement and found it utterly ridiculous. I flew across to some old acquaintances that have enjoyed living in this beautiful country for far longer than I, and they all swear that never have they heard or seen anyone that consumes human blood. This malicious stereotype needs to end.
I live in Romania and I eat human blood almost everyday. Where do you live?

I used to cook food in Ancient Grease all the time before I quit my job at McDonalds
Oh god d canola what franchise did u work at mine doesnt do that
Kekekekekek 😄

Lol
This is a genius comment. Absoilutely hilarious. Wish I could give 1K likes
They ate Greece-y food. Duh.
You win.
Very, very healthy fats. Nothing like the highly processed and inflammatory fats eaten today en masse
I rate this comment 9/11
Firing squad for you. Now
I nearly reported that joke to UA-cam. 😉
As a Greek myself who hasn't looked into this stuff a lot, I really thank you for this video - and it amazes me how many similarities their cuisine had to the modern stuff we have for food today. Tiganites, loukoumades, souvlaki, and more .... all these things are still present in much the same form.
We also ate “kokoretsi” in antiquity
im greek too and yea honestly same
Greeks learned how to cook during the last 30 years copying Turks
@@metigame1450 😂😂😂😂😂😂 we copied the turks? THE TURKSSSS???? Haaahahahaaa…
When your ancestors invaded Anatolia, the ONLY food you had was raw horse meat!!
YOU copied everything from the Greeks, the Arabs and the Persians
@@KRYPTIA-mp4ol what is that??
I appreciate your use of references and citations; I wish more youtubers did that
Don't worry, for most youtubers, if they didn't include a source, they just read wikipedia.
Amen
@@BoxStudioExecutive Wikipedia is not always correct
@@aokiaoki4238 exactly, he did not imply it is always correct rather that other youtubers are lazy
What a delicious culture, as sweet as their aesthetic
As a Greek I can attest to “loukoumades” (Λουκουμάδες) still being very popular and absolutely 😋
@@anilkarakaya9343 agreed - that is indeed not their Greek name. Also, in Greece, the name’s stem is used for the classic “Turkish delight” pastries.
Having said that, there are Ancient Greek references to such a treat.
Lest we forget Greek culture was split between mainland Greece and near Middle East. So it could have arrived to in mainland Greece via those parts. I’d hazard a guess that it’s true origins are more ancient than the 13th century and certainly might not be specifically Greek.
So much common culinary culture has been shared around the Mediterranean over thousands of years.
@@anilkarakaya9343 In ancient Greece there was a dessert with the proportions and the method of preparation of loukuma. It was called honey coins and had a round shape. The first mention of this historic sweet is recorded in the Olympic games in 776 BC. It seems that the offering of loukumades as a prize was established in honor of the humble baker-athlete from Ilida Koroivus, who was crowned Olympic champion in the road race. Aristotle, Archestratus and Aristophanes also mention it in their works. The recipe for its preparation is said to be the first recorded ancient pastry recipe. Aristotle refers to it as "gifted plates, placentas".
why wouldn't they be they look delish
I’m the child of a Greek living in South Africa. They’re so popular that we even eat them here
@@cookeecutkk In Corfu, loukoumades called tiganites and cooked in festival of Saint Spiridon...
FYI: The toxicity of acorns vary widely, some such the varieties grown in Texas, Spain and Greece have very low toxicity or non toxic.
Others such as acorns of Calif need quite a bit of work to be eatable - although there were almost a million Indians who had them as a staple before the Spanish came.
Indians weren’t in California when the Spanish came
@@emmemagnolia blatant falsehood.
@@emmemagnolia what are you talking about??
@@emmemagnolia oh yes they just imported their own natives to populate the hills to then re-enslave

@@tommy-er6hh its true. Indians were still in India during this period. Prior to the Spanish, it would have been the indigenous tribes that would have lived there
Olives "eaten on their own"...
... but emphatically NOT raw, eaten straight off the tree.
(I tried it ONCE!)
Did you also go through a squirrel phase in high school?
I guess you have to brine them?
I remember being taught about olive gathering & brining in elementary school.
🤣
how does it taste ?
@@ZhangLee. bitter is not enough, more like ''poison'' 😆
The best feast is getting a Fire of Learning video on a weekend about food of the Ancients. :)
"Human blood is a delicacy in certain parts or Romania" 😂
JESUS, that was weird, Hope it is a fairy tale.
That was an unnecessary and disgusting post. Not funny in the least.
I've heard of pig blood used in dishes, but never human...I hope it was a joke...tasteless if so, as it came out as stating a fact...
It's a reference to vampires in Transylvania... I hope.
Seriously!! Romania!! Think About IT!!! It's a vampire joke!!! If you have to struggled with it, so sad for you!!! 🤠👍🦇
Kykeon is also thought to have contained a psychedelic, such as mushrooms or ergot. These both can grow on barley. Wine was often combined with various plants, across the ancient world.
The word Kekeon describes and defines the mixture of certain ingredients to a brew.A herbal tea mixed with ginger and lemon can be called kekeon.
As far as it concerns the kekeon used in the Eleusinian Mysteries in order to prepare the indivdual for the ritual the fact that it might contain psychedelic ingredients is bassed on the attempt of certain individuals to put into context what they read about said mysteries of the very few refferences they found in the ancient Helleinic literature.This theory cannot be proved or disproved so this instantly means that it cannot be taken as an actual fact.
To put it simply the suggestion that said kekeon included psycedelic is the attempt for someone that tries to describe something he doesnt even grasp 1% off into his lifetime and cultural context.
@@moutsatsosa @moutsatsosa Everything I stated was clear & correct. Your note was rude & meandering to say the least. Perhaps this is a reflection of your personal insecurities & insecurity in your mutterings.
First, the accepted spelling is Kykeon. Clearly, I'm speaking about the Kykeon of the Eleusinian mysteries. There are clearly several kinds, as Homer himself mentions two. One with barley & goat cheese & another which he says was drugged by Circe, making the men into swine. The evidence for a psychedelic ritual Kykeon is circumstantial, that's why I said it's "thought" to have contained it. However a recent discovery of ergot in a vessel found at an Eleusinian temple in a Greek colony in Spain lends some physical evidence, as do other artifacts.
After institutional Christianity spread many rituals were wiped out. It would not shock me if many cattle herding societies used mushrooms. As you must know the Greeks were only one branch of a wider linguistic & cultural tree. There is overwhelming evidence for mushroom use in neighboring Egypt (with barley as a substrate) & throughout the world, including in Greece.
The Greeks definitely spiked their wine with opium & other psychoactive plants.
I don't know what ails your soul but I recommend 7 or 8 grams of mushrooms. Afterwards I doubt you will leave such arrogant & ignorant notes for simple statements by strangers & we will both be on to better things.
@@S.J.L What are you on about?
1.Stop suggesting trips on the brew.Stop suggesting for people to go tripping in general,it is immoral.
2.The colony you refer to in Spain was not of the Megarians.It was of the Corinthians.The other one that was excavated was of the Phokians.The Megarians colonized Byzantion and Celebria in Thrace,Celinunda in Sicelly,Astakos,Mesimbria,Silibria and Halkidon in Bythinia(North west part of modern day Turkey).
3.I dont know what rude means to you and your culture but i can do rude if you want,just lower yourself a bit more and it will be good enough reason for me.
4.Personal insecurities and bitching?What are you on about dude?Every time someone tell you something you perceive to be against what you believe in you instantly insult them?Thats how you been brought up?Shame dude.
Now for psychotropics and opium.Lets start with opium.Every Hellin cultivated opium in their garden.It was used as a sedative and painkiller.Depending on the city therefore the culture it was used in different ways for example the Lakedemons mixed it with honey to reduce the bitterness and digested it before the battle in order to,well to keep butchering even when they where butchered,gota love those guys.The Athenians and the Thebans used it mainly for medical purposes.I havent found any reference in the Hellenic literature about using opium to get high in fact there was a reference about it in Dioscuredes but he doesn't mention getting high purposes.
In general if you even read the Hellenic literature and understand their civilization you will realize that getting high was something demeaning to them.The point was to get happy and lightheaded enough.Thats the reason they mixed wine with water.Every other addition to that mix was for extra flavor.The Athenians for example considered those that did not mix their wine with water barbarians not because they were so but because of their inability to control their carnal desires and force their logic prevail over them.
As for psychotropic mushrooms in the broad area of medi-tera there are Liberty Cap,Psilocybe Serbika,Psilocybe Gallaecide,Fly Agaric and Psilocybe Fimetaria.Liberty cap and Fly Agaric were documented as psychotropics but there is not further mention of them been used anywhere even for experimental purposes.Like i ve mentioned "feeling good" was not in their philosophy in general.I understand how hard it is for a modern person to grasp the truth in that sentence but that's how it is and they 've written it themselves.
To dive further into that,cause its more important that everything else that we discuss here,from a theological point of view you need to understand that they believed that a person should never be blissful and the person that was sooner or later was doomed to live a great calamity.
So you see the person that comes out and says that they tried to get pissed or tripping balls doesnt fully understand them and therefore looks to them from his point of view and not from a window in time such as the one they have provided.That way said person would be able to come up with many theories that he will be able to make convincing enough to make them believable.That doesn't make them true.
@@moutsatsosa "Me thinketh the lady doth protest too much."
@@S.J.L calls someone rude and meandering then proceeded to insult the person.
If what you said was correct in your original posting provide period sources.
It's not often a high quality Vampire joke is hidden in a Greek culinary essay.
when i lived in Greece we would eat sometimes stewed dandelions greens & some times we would eat the dandelion in a lemon olive oil kinda broth or soup
Horta is good, also glistrida and mountain tea

Tasting History with Max Miller featured a few recipies from ancient greece.
The tiganites still exist, like loukoumades and I remember my farmer grandad eating bread dipped in wine for breakfast to wake himself up, it is traditionally called "krasopsychia", which means "breadcrumb wine". I have been given by my grandma tiganites (with honey) and olives and bread for breakfast too. It amazes me that some things didn't change in thousands of years.
Hello from Greece, Love the skewers.
One of the best videos I have ever seen about ancient food! Thank you for posting this wonder!
I simply love Greece!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"Melas Zomos" also available here in the Philippines we called it "Dinugo-an" same ingredients like what ancient Greeks eat
Really? I didn't know that, thanks for the cool fun fact!
But with chilies for extra torment. Paired with puto (no, not prostitute, for the Mexicans that might read this).
How does it taste?
Melas zoumos is still a traditional food in Greece, called Paspalas. Up to the 70s people raised their own pigs they added the blood too.
I think the Scottish call it black putting.
I think it was literally last night, as I ate my meal plan that I wondered what ancient Greeks ate. I was curious if they had pasta yet. Great timing.
You ate your... meal plan!?
@@edmundironside9435 if you can't defeat em join em
all our favorite foods prob originate in asia, india, and the Americas. unless you only eat pork, fish, bread with pigs blood and wine : P
Q
Yes they had pasta, they even had made machines to press dough into strings and of course Hilopites
Glad to see some Greek stuff
My squirrel phase in high school didn’t end until I cracked my tooth on a nut, the fake tooth just couldn’t crack the nuts as well, and I forced to return to humanity
"human blood is considered a delicacy in some parts of romania" lmfao
Can you Believe I've Actually found a couple of threads where they had Problems Comprehending the vampire joke!!! 🤠👍🦇
Excellent stuff. Will click on a Fire of Learning video for subjects I usually might not, knowing I'll learn something interesting, presented in an unshowy but engaging, thorough and articulate delivery. As good as they come, thanks for the work.
Absolutely love this channel it's very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this with us that watch your channel.
Hello! Having seen your documentaries on England and Germany, I was wondering whether you could do a documentary on the entirety of history of Greece. Your narration and explanation of historical facts was very honourable to the accuracy of events and situations as they had unfolded. Also, the description on your behalf of the peoples in each period was astonishingly detailed! It would be an honour if you made a proper doc for my nation's history. Although it's recorded by everyone, I'd like to see your take and explanation.
Very informative video. Thanks!! 👍
Excellent video! Thanks!
Fascinating video. I'm constantly thinking about the origins of food, especially in the Mediterranean. Thank you for your research.
Thank you for another awesome video
In Indonesian Batak tribe, there's a food that almost similar with the Spartan black soup. It is roasted pig, using the blood as the sauce in addition of the andaliman sambal.
I’ve tried British black pudding before, and did not hate it one bit
We still make it in Greece, it's called Paspalas
@@aokiaoki4238 i Need the recipe
@@alessandrogini5283 In Peloponese they butcher a pig, Monday after Easter and collect the blood and mix it with vinegar so it doesn't thicken up. They add this to usual Paspalas at the end and call it Skotopaspalas.
Wonderful historical gastronomy...
They actually may have discovered sylphium in Turkey on two remote mountains that were once greek exclaves. The species only has 6000 individuals but a professor is successfully cultivating them but it was very dificult and required techniques the ancients would not have had. It basically matches all of the descriptions.
What's the name of the plant?

I enjoyed learning cumin was used at dinner tables as we use salt & pepper today. I'll never look at cumin the same way again. Thanks 😊!
Also, I'm impressed by your use as a background @ 13:20 Caspar David Friedrich's Journey into a sea of fog & mists painting. I've loved that painting (& numerous others of his) for years.
Good job on making quality videos!
I would like to make some ancient Greek pancakes, especially since my wife and I enjoy both modern Greek food and pancakes lol. Thank you for another fascinating episode!
God be with you out there everybody! ✝️ :)
By the way Cheesecake is also ancient Greek sweet. Of course the recipe was different back then
@@georgekoul Μελόπιτα is definitely a very old cheesecake
you can easily find recipes , max miller has one on youtube if you search teganites probably comes first . Of course you can easily find in google the modern greek version of em .
@@evaggelosk.4086 Thank you!
whats with the religious shit lol keep your views to yourself
I haven't made teganites for a while, good reminder! 😋

True rip Byzantine Egypt was good time ;( 27 bc to 641 ad
I'm pretty sure "Tiganites throwing out vapor" essentially means:
"A steaming stack of flapjacks"😉

very interesting, thank you!
9:18 - gotta love depiction of details. none fish could escape artist's view
Interesting! Thank you!
Un autre exellent vidéo et en plus, ça me donne faim.
Great vid!
I love Julius Caesar, but, I prefer ancient Greece and it's philosophers alot more. Thanks for another educative video Fire of Learning.
I love your sense of humor
fascinating .. so far fires of learning is pretty amazing
How fascinating it is to know that our famous "Dinuguan" Dish in Philippines has similarity with theirs. We use pig's blood to cook it
Well done
British/Irish blood pudding is absolutely delicious so blood can sometimes be very tasty
“British” and “delicious” should never be in the same sentence
The Germans have something called Blutwurst, basically a cold cut from blood
Well spoken video with some awesome information.
Shrimp and honey though 💀
Ngl... I kinda want to eat it💀
5:31 thats Agia Galini village in Crete lol i went there on vacation once
I once had a very vivid dream where I visited an ancient city and my mother in law bought a large group of people a tray of the most delicious cheesy bread I had ever had. It was cut into rectangles and I remember tasting it in my dream. I woke up and did some research, and the closest that I could find was white pizza (or pizza bianca). So I think I ate the very first pizza in an ancient city in my dream.
I have very many questions about olives that I think can only be answered PROPERLY by Fire of Learning. Please consider an episode that will quench this thirst for knowledge.
✌😁👍

Great video I just moved to Greece 4 months ago:)
Thx much!
Quite accurate. Well done!
Very possibly the species and cultivars of vegetables, herbs, and spices may have been different and/or been might higher in nutrients, e.g. calcium in leaf potentially over 700 mg per 100 g (though such is only moderate compared to the highest known). Variety and quantity of herb and spice was likely also much greater; such can be found a bit in Apicius and such survived in Europe until a few centuries ago. Many now widely forgotten vegetables such as lamb's quarters (chenopodium album), nettle, in some places thistle, etc. remain used in the Mediterranean. As far as bitter vetch, I believe there is record somewhere of it as vegetable. Centuries of cultivation and changes in diet and much of the world yet not all (e.g. parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America), most have lost the taste for higher nutrient bitter vegetables and less sweet fruits.
As far as silphium, it's often thought to be a species of ferula. In recent years, some have found other species of ferula that is thought to possibly silphium.
I was surprised it wasn't mentioned but silphium was widely associated as a abortifacient and was indeed prized as such, one of the reasons it does not exist now so much is due to Christian laws against the crop.
It's all Greek to me!
This video is making me hungry!

Beautiful Painting.
🎉Turkish contribution to coffee is that they purified it from cardamom and other spices used by the Arabic countries. Garoum or garos was the bones and interiors of fishes ( mostly anchovies) left to dry out in the sun and then powdered. Bloodsausages are made everywhere in Europe (I amhalf Greek half Swedish) so I can understand the existence of melas zomos. In kerkini north of Greece we 😅 trying to have again buffalos
How old is this Turkish coffee??
@@lou6749 it traveled from Ethiopia to the Arabic countries and then to Turkey and from there to Europe so I guess around 1650 if we assume that it was invented in Ethiopia around 1550.
@@alxx1378 so there fore it's not Turkish coffee after all that's what I thought ..turkey is only 100 years old ,coffee has been around centuries before turkey it's self..

What is good mate, nothing about greek history is good. EVERYTHING is false.
I did not expect this video to be funny 😂
The "squirrel phase" and the human blood 😂
Odd, I just thought to myself. "Oh, I haven't watched Fire of Learning in a long time. Does he still make videos?" Dude has like 300k short from a million subs.
Terrific 💯
Didn't they also have a syrup made from reduced grape juice? Such reduced juices are still used today by some in Germany.
Yes this still exists in Greece and we make cookies with it. It's called moustos in Greek.
@@Bakerygo It's called Epsima or Petimezi
Do you have a video on silphium, thoughts about its supposed rediscovery?
I second that motion!!! 🤠👍
Ferula drudeana is the most likely candidate for sylphium. It's a variety of fennel that grows wild in parts of Turkiye.
I would’ve never thought they ate Dinuguan 😂 got it down to the vinegar.
Finally someone that knows that kebab is actually Greek
@Fire of Learning could you please make a video about The Food of Ancient Rome
I have a book titled Medicinal Plants of Greece, has some great info in there.
Ancient Greece ends with Cleopatra's last breath.

As a Greek this is very interesting.
“Human blood . . . In parts of Romania . . . “
Well delivered and tasteful joke 😂😂😂
Wonderful,
Θαυμάσια, νόστιμα
6:32 im kinda surprised because we also have a pork blood stew here in the Philippines which is called "dinuguan" i wonder if theres some sort of connection
10:51 a simple Greek tip for all of you food lovers out there, next time you have eggs for breakfast try adding some cumin on your seasoning. I promise you won't have them any other way afterwards.
I don't like cum on my food unless I'm eating dick
"Human blood is a delicacy in parts of Romania"... Whoosh!
Could you do a history of Poland, Ukraine, or any of them since it would be interesting to learn more about their past conflicts and the current issues apply to them today?
Did they eat a lot of pomegranate? And if so what age? Just seems to be referenced a lot but im unsure if it was actually eaten or more for show as some other fruits in history
My favorite Greek food is the one shown at 0:29. It's called Kywek Kywek.

I have tried Greek food but modern Greek food I gave some to my adopted grandmother and she loved it

I find it hard to believe the Cyclops had time to make cheese! Rumor has it they bought it at Costco!
Cyclops cheese... Well, cool, that's ALSO gonna bother me forever. Thanks.
So many foods I'm never gonna be able to try!
Thank you for the video on Ancient Greeks food.👏👏👏👏 What do you think about the food of the Greek gods, as it appears in the legends?
I have made Athenian cabbage and it is very much like a Mediterranean colesslaw, quite good.
There is nothing wrong with cooking with animal blood. I’m 63 years old and was raised in Quebec Canada. I helped my mom making blood sausage and we used the pig meat the intestine and the pigs blood and it was delicious.
fire of learning q&a when?
A very common meat product in Ancient Greece was tarichos, which seems to have been highly salted fish jerky. Some of the comic playwrights describe it as being cheap enough for poor people to regularly consume.
Greetings from that certain part of Romania where human blood is considered to be a delicacy 🙂
