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

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

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)
Something is wrong at 2:55 . Wok didn’t appear until the Song dynasty since iron was still a stated owned resource and it was VERY expensive to get iron ores. Things changed at the Song dynasty due to a significant higher wealth among civilians and that was when both the wok and the food delivery service started in China

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?
Not surprised, quality of content he's producing seems to have plummeted, so just went for clickbait/fast stuff. This was evident in the completely moronic excuse of him not acknowledging how gadgets can help people with disabilities... seems like he can't do research / make accurate content anymore.
We also have proof carbon dating can indeed be wildly inaccurate. Just as much recorded history is severely lacking. You can thank the idiot that destroyed the Great Alexander Library, it's believed it effectively reset humanity in a bad way. In short those guys have to justify their grants and lately last 20 years shown to make it up in papers. Peer review process has become a farce and every guy/girl is aiming to get a publishing it seems.

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.

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.

I admire you very much. You are always a source of ideas and motivation for me to learn to cook and develop my passion for cooking This is the number of people who also admire you and consider you a driving force for development 👇
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. Hence why we crave such sweet foods that has high sugar.
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
Might be a common sight and taken for granted for a chef at your level . But being someone who tries to cook every once in a while , I could not help but appreciate the level of precision and control over your culinary works . It is a work of art.
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)
16:24 In the interest of historical accuracy, Ray Kroc did not open the first McDonald's in 1954, that's when he discovered the restraunt. The first McDonald's was opened in 1940 by the McDonald brothers, Maurice and Richard McDonald. In 1955, Ray Kroc made a contract with the brothers to start franchising outside of the local area where the restraunt was founded, later that year he founded the McDonald's Corporation and in 1961 he finally bought the McDonald's name and brand from the brothers. They made a movie on it, The Founder, depicting the purchase of the McDonald's brand by the McDonald's corporation as a hostile takeover, but that portrayal has been disputed.
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!
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
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!

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
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.
Oldest known use of stone tools - 3.3 million years ago Oldest known use of fire - 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. We have been bbqing for THAT long, God I love that!
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
this would actually be a really cool tv show for you. like making and trying foods from different periods of history and then you could make your own modernized version of it
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
point at the end was beautiful, i think the fusion cuisine thats become popular recently if anything is paying homage to what makes certain cuisines special, kimchi quesadilla is a perfect example of that. some might prefer being rigid in tradition, but in order for a lot of these "new" ideas to work they need to pay attention to how the rules work to know what to do.
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.
I used to be a chef, 90% of my meals are made from scratch. That being said, I LOVE the Hungry Man Fried Chicken TV Dinner. Pro tip, cook it in the oven instead of the microwave so the chicken gets a little crispy.
Funny thing with T.V. dinners: My grandma would get the family sized Salisbury steak T.V. dinner, and instead of microwave it, put it unwrapped, on a baking sheet, in the oven on low. Would make mashed potatoes with the potato flakes, and green beans from a can. Homemade salad. Best thing ever. Something about the Salisbury steaks being cooked in the oven versus the microwave change the flavor, and then she would use the gravy on the mashed potatoes..... She is a wizard in the kitchen!!! ❤
I think uncle Iroh said it best. It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you only draw your inspiration from one place, the style becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements and other nations will help you become whole.

Bro went from eating dirt to fried rice like Sumeria didn't exist. Skipped Tuh'u. Josh is the Ea-nāṣir of youtube chefs.
... They definitely had tools to hunt during the Ice Age. Bro wasn't bringing down a mammoth with his bare-ass hands!
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. Hence why we crave such sweet foods that has high sugar.
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
Might be a common sight and taken for granted for a chef at your level . But being someone who tries to cook every once in a while , I could not help but appreciate the level of precision and control over your culinary works . It is a work of art.
I love to see the different food throughout the years!! The kimchi quesadilla and the pasta look amazing😊

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.

In the interest of historical accuracy, Ray Kroc did not open the first McDonald's in 1954, that's when he discovered the restraunt. The first McDonald's was opened in 1940 by the McDonald brothers, Maurice and Richard McDonald. In 1955, Ray Kroc made a contract with the brothers to start franchising outside of the local area where the restraunt was founded, later that year he founded the McDonald's Corporation and in 1961 he finally bought the McDonald's name and brand from the brothers.
They made a movie on it, The Founder, depicting the purchase of the McDonald's brand by the McDonald's corporation as a hostile takeover, but that portrayal has been disputed.

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
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.
I really like the McChicken sandwich from McDonald's xD
I love how you take a massive joint of meat, perfectly frenched it and even carved the meat before glazing it and baking it to perfection just to make it look like something Fred Flintstone would have for dinner 😂
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.
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.

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.
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.
Ray Kroc did not open the first McDonalds - the McDonald's brothers did. He just franchised their concept.
3:55 why are the shield pizzas 😭
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.

He has a great way of encouraging appreciation for modern inventions rather than only pining over historical times due to the authenticity/simplicity.
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.
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

A good cook you are, a historian you aren't.
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.

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
Sorry Josh, this time you were not accurate in almost every recipe…

you care so much about Italians but not us Korean :( why kimchi quesadilla. Thats more than putting pineapple on pizza
point at the end was beautiful, i think the fusion cuisine thats become popular recently if anything is paying homage to what makes certain cuisines special, kimchi quesadilla is a perfect example of that. some might prefer being rigid in tradition, but in order for a lot of these "new" ideas to work they need to pay attention to how the rules work to know what to do.

I used to be a chef, 90% of my meals are made from scratch. That being said, I LOVE the Hungry Man Fried Chicken TV Dinner. Pro tip, cook it in the oven instead of the microwave so the chicken gets a little crispy.
few things make me proud of humanity...but this..this makes me proud to see
Funny thing with T.V. dinners: My grandma would get the family sized Salisbury steak T.V. dinner, and instead of microwave it, put it unwrapped, on a baking sheet, in the oven on low. Would make mashed potatoes with the potato flakes, and green beans from a can. Homemade salad. Best thing ever. Something about the Salisbury steaks being cooked in the oven versus the microwave change the flavor, and then she would use the gravy on the mashed potatoes..... She is a wizard in the kitchen!!! ❤
Really enjoyed watching this!!

Mentions Ceaser Salad was created in Tiajuana, shifts map to western hemisphere yet just barely leaves Tiajuana out of frame.
Quick tip, back in the 6th century, salt was very expensive! They mainly used soy sauce for flavor.
Shoutout to pioneers of food, because of them we know what to eat and what can kill us
I think uncle Iroh said it best. It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If you only draw your inspiration from one place, the style becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements and other nations will help you become whole.
The perfect video for people who loves to learn about cooking and have a short attention span, and enjoys history lessons.
fun fact: Itrriya is known in turkish cuisine as "Erişte," which is eaten with yogurt similar to "Mantı," although not eaten as much anymore with the rise of pasta
