A+ video! I was not aware that fajitas were so new, that the alfredo sauce we get from the store is not like that of Italy, or the origins of corned beef. It really helps to understand and remember these things with the great storytelling and images.
Chop Suey was perfected by System of a Down in 2001.
In 1985, I met a professor from England who told me (and the rest of the class) that prior to his arrival in America, he'd never heard of English muffins. Stunned the hell out of me.
Is it just me, or could anyone else listen to this announcer read the phone book and still be impressed? What a voice!
At 8:20 when you refer to water lily roots, you put up a picture of a lotus root, which is what we typically eat in Chinese cuisine. Love the video as usual! :)
I would LOVE to see an episode on the history of Greek diners!
GRAZIE <3 finally a channel that explain to the world that "alfredo chicken fettuccine and spaghetti and meatballs" are NOT, a product from Italy. Great channel, BRAVO <3
it would be interesting to see a video about the history of the cuban sandwich and the dispute over where it originated.
The word "corn" was historically interchangeable with the word "grain." Not just grains like wheat--and yes, what we call corn now--but also grains of salt, grains of sand, etc. It wasn't called "corning" because it was corn-sized, but because it used grains of salt in the process. It's the same deal with peppercorns--any collection of small, granular things could have that name.
Haven't been tuned in to WHF videos this early! I love Ethnic foods
Awesome video
My dad explained to me long ago that corned beef and cabbage was an immigrant food. He gave me a cookbook from Ireland in which a recipe for this dish was nowhere to be found.
THANK YOU for telling the correct story of corned beef! I wrap myself silly telling people that corned beef and cabbage was invented in New York.
Just recently my family and I had corned beef and cabbage on Saint Patrick's Day. I remember reading that the dish itself did not come from Ireland.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent still-motion photography pictures/drawings. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing-!!!😋.
Alfredo in the US is basically what chefs would call a Bechamel sauce or any sauce or rue with a cream base. So it may not be authentic Italian but go ahead and stir it up! My favorite sauce is Pesto with Italian basil not Thai basil that is a spicy variety called Queen of Siam. Falling in love with sauce is nothing new a wonderful vortex that may captivate you. In French cooking they gave us the Bechemel type sauces and a specialist chef call the Saucier! You too can be as possessed as Ratatouille the little chef. I like to get my little Basil plants and put them in sauces it feels very fun.
Hey @brianlagerstom, you have arrived! Thank you for another fantastic video, Weird History Food! LOVE the narrator!
We appreciate your effort and hard work, God bless you.
Every St. Patrick's Day I make a cabbage boil. Which is potatoes, cabbage, and bacon boiled in broth and a bottle or two of guinness. While it isn't pretty to look at, the taste is fantastic! 😅 Also best served with some soda bread.
