Here is an idea: there is a channel called "Tasting history" where the cook cooks foods using old recipes from centuries ago. Maybe you could find someone to cook those and give them to try ancient recipes for real.
Having exact recipes is a fairly modern thing. Up until about the 18th century, recipes gave ingredients and instructions, but no amounts or cooking times. You'd get things like 'Take a fair amount of good flour' or 'simmer until done'. I follow a channel called 'Tasting History', and the host, Max Miller, often has to make educated guesses about how much of an ingredient to use, or what cooking method and how long to cook the dish. He's made recipes from around the world and throughout history, and he's never made a recipe that was a complete dud, I'm happy to say. In fact, Max recently made an Ancient Egyptian bread, and it turned out very well. He's also made garum a couple of times.
A lot of beverages in the list. From times to times, I drink some hypocras made in a monastery. Very good. But no wonder it was for nobility. Ancient European recipes mostly included herbs and aromatics. Spices came from far away and were very very expensive.
Very cool reaction idea. I don't think that it worked to well as a guessing game, but the information was certainly interesting! A reaction to a video about European medieval food could be very interesting. Shouldn't be too hard to find one. Also, that Hypocras entry and their comments to it made me want to see them try European Christmas marked mulled wine :D (Can, of course, be a non-alcoholic variant, if necessary. With dark grape juice, for example.)
Since we're talking about historical topics, can we show them a video on general history? They would be very interested.
I cooked 2 very ancient Sumerian dishes last year, and they were great!

Exactly the same way my grandmother taught recipes. Q: How much do you add? A: You stop when it is enough...
I think a Max Miller Tasting History Video may be helpful for them
That moretum looks suspiciously like guacamole.
And sounds pretty much like pesto
@@dmschoice2571 "Pesto" is exactly made of herbs (basil), cheese (parmesan), garlic, oil and pine nuts.

BABU IS A LEGEND 🎉🙏
You can do one on historical Indian recipes, there are some recorded on temple walls for medieval votive foods.
Wheat has 3 strands of dna instead of two. They say it was given to to us by the gods, with teachings of how to use it, including leavening.
3 sets of DNA but each set has 2 strands
Is there any video of them reacting about story of india since the beginning to after colonization/nowadays ?
Id love to see it also

Chicha is still made today in many countries.
But you just looked at these recipes. In that case, how can they be lost? 😃
any chance of drafting them into kitchen work?
