most of the people I know still call the last meal of the day supper. probably has a lot to do with the area that grew up. when I hear people call it dinner it still feels strange to me.
@metatronyt 15:32 you mention olives from Gaeta. I will be visiting Rome again for the Jubilee in a short time. I don't think I will have time to go there, would you recommend some place I can go to in Roma or Napoli where I can buy them? Last time I was there, I was looking to see if I could find you in the streets of Rome and say hi 😂 oh wait, you live in the US now, don't you, nevermind
@@Kelnx It depends on what is your goal. Do you want to do a medicinal/historical crossover "how ancient diet influences your health and growth?"? If so, then yes - you should choose a particular time period, geographical region, social status etc. of a person you are reenacting and then keep their diet for as long as possible while constantly monitoring your vitals. But, if your goal is to see what ancient food would taste like it is good to reenact a person who has the most choice i.e. a wealthy person and take advantage of the possibilities. In the end rich people could have eaten poor man's food if they chose to. Also, if a historical reenactment is your hobby you don't want to do anything that has long-term consequences.
@@Kelnx I'm pretty sure rich people could choose their diet even in ancient times. Even hunter-gatherers in the summer had at least few options. But assuming you're right and it is a modern concept. She's a modern girl. She only reenacts the past. She can't possibly reenact everything. She HAS to choose.
Yeah, but Roman Pizza would have lacked Tomatoes and Chili Pepper and was probably just - Flat Bread, Cheese, Olive Oil, and Basil - possibly some Lamb meat on top.
@@legatvsdecimvs3406 it was. I think I remember them finding an ancient menu board from Roman times in a ruins (might have been Pompeii but don't quote me). they had a seasoned Flat bread with olive oil and topped with vegetables. Basil was more than likely part of the seasoning, and then whatever local veggies were in season. They still eat it, its called a Pizza Bianca (White Pizza)
We used to have a wheat sandwich bread in the US called Roman meal. It's my standard for what a grocery store wheat sandwich loaf should taste like. Wish they still made it.
I always love when totally different RUclips channels I follow come together. I’ve been following her since she first started her channel. Thanks for featuring her!
Her work on her grandmother's heritage (Volga Tatar) was great!! Really, all of her work is wonderful and it's great to see her getting this recognition!
She'd make a good wife and mother. If she can cook.. and if she can make her own clothes! It would save tons of money on clothes and for takeout for her husband, for herself, and for the children- all being homemade, and teach the children how to do 2 useful skills. Very good! She's a keeper.
I think the combination of Tasting History and Modern History TV led me to her channel when I was watching content about medieval food, and I watched her video eating medieval food for a week. Even Max is a fan of her channel!
I've been watching her stuff for a long time, I really like her stuff. Also, she hand sews all her own historical clothing and films her stuff herself at her house, she isn't part of a company.
I love her content. She doesn't just research and have opinions, she lives her subjects as closely as she can, and that really brings her approach alive. Great stuff.
Ah, so happy you focus on the wonderful V. Birchwood channel. Her video's look so great and she really has heart for history and how people were living in the past.
Well actually as a Greek living and being from a Greek island ( Rodos) that's not very different for what we still eat 😂 Greetings from 🇬🇷 Greece/ Hellas ❤🎉( wow you slayed those Greek words, so good pronunciation 😮🎉)
A virtual Christmas present across the centuries watching a Metatron reaction to V Birchwood. She does a fine job introducing foods and fashions of earlier cultures.
I can't believe i just watched a proud Italian microwaving a mail delivered meal to consume! I mean there are things ppl do for money we all have a price but this might be unforgivable. I'm shocked! Pesche in coolo che fai?
About 15 years ago I ended up no longer able to digest tomatoes and any dairy, and that has proven to be the most depressing change of the course of my entire life 😭
In America, the whole "breakfast, lunch, supper, dinner" thing is basically regional in which is considered "dinner". The basic way to remember it is that "dinner" represents the most important meal of the day. This can be lunch or supper depending and this is why when you say "let's go grab lunch" it means something subtly different than "let's go grab dinner". Dinner stresses a bit more importance (and generally a bit more food) even if the words can be somewhat interchangeable. Same goes for supper/dinner. Lunch and supper stress a time of day for the meal. Dinner stresses importance/size. Again, regional differences occur but this is a basic way to remember it.
I've watched a few of her videos in the past for worldbuilding research. Great stuff. Also, bread and olives is absolutely a traditional Greek snack. Cheese too, if you're lucky.
all around the mediterranean. we like olives and bread and of course cheese here in the languedoc too. just bread dipped in olive oil is pretty good lol
I've always been surprised that someone hasn't done an ancient equivalent to the Renaissance Fair that many areas have. Greco-Roman foods, clothing, plays. Mock gladiatorial games etc.
Well, they do... I found at least 4 roman festivals in Switzerland and Germany on one quick web search~ and there are usually markets and reeanactment days on the old forts and roman sites every year.
I was at the one in August Raurica once. It is hold in the roman ruins and the roman Villa there (don't know if is a restored original or a modern replica) is a museum. It has many activities for kids.
@@aleisterlavey9716 sounds cool. My city has a Neptune festival every fall, but they just use it as an excuse to party. I would have used it to be more authentically Roman.
16:43 The Arabs and Persians eat with their hands, too. And in the Czech language there is a saying: hands are the cutlery of kings (you would hardly find a Czech who eats pizza or burger differently). 17:50 Little towels or dishes with washing water may be fine, but the biggest thanks to the cook for a tasty meal is to lick your right hand clean. 😉 (In India.)
Who eats pizza and burgers with cutlery? Lol...I think that's a universal thing, if anyone is out there that uses cutlery for them, then they must be possessed by a demon 😂
I believe the rule is there because before soap you used your left hand to clean 🧻 yourself with and greet and eat with your right head. But as soap is now widely used I am sure they will not think you are eating with your filthy hand.
The Greeks weren't using the fork not because it wasn't invented yet but because it was very similar to Poseidon's trident and it was concidered a blasphemy to make use of it for the sake of the needs of mortal humans.
But do Greeks ever stop eating? Breakfast, snack, brunch, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack…lol! But I guess that constantly being on the go burns enough calories that the snacking is necessary. lol! And the fact that we talk too much burns calories as well. 😂 (My mom is half Greek, but she and I have the full-Greek gift of gab and always keeping busy.) 💙
In the former Confederate states of the USA, dinner can also be used for the main meal of the day that is served between 11am-2pm, sometimes as late as 4pm. Supper is used for any meal served after 5 pm.
No offense, but don't you mean "the Southern United States"? The Confederates didn't exactly stick around long enough for there to be any real divergence from typical Southern culture.
Lmao why would you mention the Confederates and not just say "southern US"? It's weird and adds nothing to the convo...it's like trying to say "in the former Spanish province of Tejas" when referring to Texas 😂
Oh yes, I watch her channel too, and I really like the thought she puts into each video. Fun to hear your opinion as a Roman historian. Thanks for the positivity 🙂
7:51 thats interesting. Growing up it was common to say breakfast, lunch and tea. Tea and dinner was used interchangeably, and supper was a light meal you might have later in the night it was never used very often. These days dinner seems to be making a comeback, probably the internet intruding on our customs.
Late dinners is a mystery for us swedes. At half past eight we can have a small evening meal but not dinner. Dinner is pretty much as soon as we get home after work.
I have watched several historical videos presented by this young lady. They are all very good,well researched, and well presented, by an attractive lady. Love the videos and presenter.
17:22 Its the right hand..well left if you are a lefty (but that's in recent times). Traditionally it is right as no one was a lefty back in the day 😂. But you're supposed to eat with only one hand as the other is the one you use after the toilet..
What would be interesting would be finding surviving 2400 year old cultivars of various vegetables. From what I have read on the subject, some plants, like cabbage derivatives, have changed radically.
Pre my deployment to Iraq i had to attend a class on "local culture". It was "disrespectful" to gesture with your left hand. Its what they used to wipe their ass.
Somehow for a moment you zoomed out of youtube, and I thought it was my own account, I was so confused until I realized that it was yours, and we both listen to dance with the dead! Great taste BTW. Just threw me for sec😂
She’s a sweetheart.❤ I was skeptical when I saw her channel a few weeks ago, but then after watching her videos…I subscribed. Could we see a collab with you 2? That would be awesome! You could have a little Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman food tasting party. lol! Full-on ancient clothing required.
What an amazing reenactor! Can't believe I have never come across one of her videos! If you do end up looking into getting your wife some ancient Greek garb, feel free to reach out as myself and our group would be more than happy to help out!
4:29 Strong agreement. Arming doublets look great on men, I have no idea why it fell out of fashion. Even an otherwise slovenly looking man's appearance is greatly improved by a simple arming doublet.
Thank you! I appreciate your pronunciation on language. I always wonder if Duolingo is accurate. I’m on day 105 in Greek. I love the words for fox and delicious/tasty. Yes I am bating you into saying them since I can’t spell them off the top of my head yet (my keyboard doesn’t have the right letters either). Strangely enough I’m having an easier time learning Greek vs Latin, not sure why. I’m American and mostly Irish so I can’t even claim that it’s in my blood because I’m not sure it is. I suck at Gaelic too, ironically. Thanks again and have a great day!
The Spartan king after taking over a person Camp asked the Persians "chefs to produced a lavish banquet composed of multiple courses, served on golden plates and topped off by the most sumptuous cakes and delicacies. The Spartans’ grub was barley bread and pig’s-blood stew. When the Spartans saw the two meals side by side, they burst out laughing. “How far the Persians have traveled,” proclaims Pausanias, “to rob us of our poverty!” The Spartans did not see the feast as some great reward. Their focus was on honor, not rich foods. Their self-discipline was so great that the greater pleasure came in rejecting the feast."" Interesting "rob us of our poverty!" Spartans focused on "honor, not rich foods" or lavishness.
Spartans also detested the possession of lots of money that's why their coin was made from iron so iron being of much lower value compared to other metals someone would need significantly more coins to be rich and it would be a lot harder to hide how rich he was therefore he'd be ridiculed by the Spartan society who disapproved of greed and he'd be a social pariah and that was also a way for them to keep humble
@@GothPaoki Spartans were in the job of making sure the Helots didn't revolt. It was basically about 10,000 Spartan citizens trying to keep about 100k Helots in slavery.
It's Our understanding that the Right Hand/Left Hand thing is a holdover from when modern plumbing was less prevalent, if you catch Our drift. We'll stick to utensils.
Bread and olives or bread with cheese and tomatoes sometimes or eggs even , used to be traditional breakfast in greece for most farmers or workers . In 1970s onward the modern coffee cigarette and maybe some pastry from a bakery became a common thing especially in cities . When i used to visit my grand parents as a kid , who lived in a village , i remember i had a slice of bread with olive oil as breakfast that sometimes i would like to add a bit of fresh cut lemon juice on and my grandmother would make me some green tea also. I remember my grandfather liked to have some traditional coffee after he woke up from his afternoon nap.
I'm glad you're giving attention to V. Birchwood. She's a wonderful experimental historian with loads of great videos. Such an underrated channel; I hope she gets loads of new subscribers from this video!
15:10 The besr olives that I've ever had ib my life where in Mt Athos. Where i had gone to visit a monastery for the weekend. Beat olives I ever had or will probably ever have
Yeah I like it when people add different kinds of olives and mash them into a paste with a little bit of herbs and garlic and olive oil and then you spread it on to the freash bread is so freaking good!
As a spaniard I can confirm, just give me bread and olive oil and I'm happy. Also, a particularly from modern Spain is the "almuerzo", a meal between the breakfast and lunch (maybe around 10h30 - 11h00). Man I loved having almuerzos out with my friends, olives and / or peanuts are mandatory, they would serve them to you even before ordering anything (for free of course) and then we would eat some sort of tapas or sandwich (tortilla is my favorite) with wine mixed with soda or beer (and yes... it is absolutely normal to drink soft alcohol at that time in the morning)
15:30 Fun fact, the state of Texas just so happens to have the perfect climate to produce olives. We don't have to import our Olives from italy, though we do sometimes, because we can just make them here. My favorite way to have an olive is with pimento innthe pit. Its just, muah! 👌
I‘m craving bread and olives right now. I‘ve went to sicily (catania, taormina, cefalu and collessano) a month ago. And I had such great olives in Catania, they were made just with Salt, garlic and spicy pepper - sooo delicous.
I only was in Southern India but for about 2 months. I learned that you only eat with the right hand and it is oddly satisfying to do so in the right environment. So much that I actually missed it after returning to the West and eating with cutlery again in Indian restaurants. BTW, you figure out what to do with your left hand once you go to the bathroom and find out that there is no toilet paper ...
Tbh she herself says the diet will be varied so the b-v (or rather the bilabial v thing) shift was most likely already happening by the time koine was developed. If I'm not mistaken sewn chitons too were a later development (don't quote me on this lol) so that may even be the preferred pronunciation :v
Holyyyyyyy mollyyyy.... Can't believe my fav youtuber mentioned india!!!. Damn I didn't know ur cousin lived and studied in India. Sir, I was also hoping that u would cover the relation between ancient Rome and india, especially souther india (currently a state called Kerala) , cuz until ig the 1700 ,the only place where u can get pepper which the romans traded for with wine was the land of Kerala . Fun fact :- we were so prosperous with our trade in Roman (especially after augustes took egypt under the empires wing) that we even had a statue of his in our state back then in order to Commemorate our relations with rome.
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return unto the ground, for out of it were thou taken; for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return. It is hard coded into man to love bread. It's my favorite food to and I could eat it all day.
Genuinely amazed you know that in northern England we refer to lunch as dinner. Many people in Britain don't know that, but a guy from Sicily does! We call our evening meal 'tea' but you probably know that too you clever fellow
It is best to overcook chickpeas. In arabic they are called hummus.... If overcooked, you can mash them very easily and a chickpea stew is chickpeas in watery hummus...and ALWAYS drizzled with large amount of olive oil
She had my heart when she started with the mountain tea. The actual meals look very down to earth and doable; they either exist in a similar form today or could easily fit into the existing cuisine with the ingredients.
4:38 Hey!!! You show me some ancient garb that can survive a full year of work on a 50 acre farm and I’ll give my denim up! Ain’t happening though! Also… it has to look good with cowboy boots and a hat and work well in 105-110 degree summer. Joking aside, I got the idea to buy hemp pants and a shirt to see how it felt working in extreme heat with that on. I got a long sleeve to keep the sun off of me. I must admit, while the thread couldn’t survive a full summer, it was definitely a lot cooler to wear than my usual work clothes. It just doesn’t hold up well.
have you heard of the channel Gesibas Gewissa? its a dude from England and he has videos where he builds an house with tools from ~650 to 750, after he made the tools by himself.

I believe the rule is there because before soap you used your left hand to clean 🧻 yourself with and greet and eat with your right head.

I have watched several historical videos presented by this young lady. They are all very good,well researched, and well presented, by an attractive lady. Love the videos and presenter.
Man, you channel has become my favourite one!
I appreciate that thanks!
I love watching this lady. She is so wise and she's so young still. I love her sense of adventure. Talented seamstress as well.
She loved all the dishes and found the stew the best she ever had.
17:22 Its the right hand..well left if you are a lefty (but that's in recent times). Traditionally it is right as no one was a lefty back in the day 😂. But you're supposed to eat with only one hand as the other is the one you use after the toilet..
She's so pretty
And you're so creepy
@@ChristoffRevanHow?
The match i never knew i needed!!!! I love both of these creators and im so excited to watch this video!!!!!!!
What would be interesting would be finding surviving 2400 year old cultivars of various vegetables. From what I have read on the subject, some plants, like cabbage derivatives, have changed radically.
Cute women are cuter in ancient clothing.
I was already a follower of hers. Glad to see you commenting and complementing her stuff!
Pre my deployment to Iraq i had to attend a class on "local culture". It was "disrespectful" to gesture with your left hand. Its what they used to wipe their ass.
Wait till they find out most Westerners wipe their ass with their right hand... 😂
You nailed the greek pronunciation malaka!
Ahaha thanks
I love how excited you are by this.
Somehow for a moment you zoomed out of youtube, and I thought it was my own account, I was so confused until I realized that it was yours, and we both listen to dance with the dead! Great taste BTW. Just threw me for sec😂
She’s a sweetheart.❤ I was skeptical when I saw her channel a few weeks ago, but then after watching her videos…I subscribed. Could we see a collab with you 2? That would be awesome! You could have a little Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman food tasting party. lol! Full-on ancient clothing required.
What an amazing reenactor! Can't believe I have never come across one of her videos!
If you do end up looking into getting your wife some ancient Greek garb, feel free to reach out as myself and our group would be more than happy to help out!
She is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
She's okay but looks like a surprised puppet.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick wtf
The historic fashion certainly suits her very well
Slow down, Casanova! 😅
@@Gravuun the orange dress
Watched her for years- I love her work so much, she’s a fantastic channel
4:29 Strong agreement. Arming doublets look great on men, I have no idea why it fell out of fashion. Even an otherwise slovenly looking man's appearance is greatly improved by a simple arming doublet.
I never knew you’d cover V. Birchwood! Love both of your channels 😁
Thank you! I appreciate your pronunciation on language. I always wonder if Duolingo is accurate. I’m on day 105 in Greek. I love the words for fox and delicious/tasty. Yes I am bating you into saying them since I can’t spell them off the top of my head yet (my keyboard doesn’t have the right letters either). Strangely enough I’m having an easier time learning Greek vs Latin, not sure why. I’m American and mostly Irish so
I can’t even claim that it’s in my blood because I’m not sure it is. I suck at Gaelic too, ironically. Thanks again and have a great day!
Great video again, thanks, Metatron!
I’m obsessed with a BBC show, older, The Supersizers. They eat food throughout history. It’s not pretty, but it’s fun.
That video has been on my recommended for a while now. I’ve been meaning to watch it. I certainly will now.
The Spartan king after taking over a person Camp asked the Persians "chefs to produced a lavish banquet composed of multiple courses, served on golden plates and topped off by the most sumptuous cakes and delicacies.
The Spartans’ grub was barley bread and pig’s-blood stew. When the Spartans saw the two meals side by side, they burst out laughing. “How far the Persians have traveled,” proclaims Pausanias, “to rob us of our poverty!”
The Spartans did not see the feast as some great reward. Their focus was on honor, not rich foods. Their self-discipline was so great that the greater pleasure came in rejecting the feast.""
Interesting "rob us of our poverty!" Spartans focused on "honor, not rich foods" or lavishness.
Spartans also detested the possession of lots of money that's why their coin was made from iron so iron being of much lower value compared to other metals someone would need significantly more coins to be rich and it would be a lot harder to hide how rich he was therefore he'd be ridiculed by the Spartan society who disapproved of greed and he'd be a social pariah and that was also a way for them to keep humble
@@GothPaoki Spartans were in the job of making sure the Helots didn't revolt. It was basically about 10,000 Spartan citizens trying to keep about 100k Helots in slavery.
This is like, every history buffs dream girl...my wife is sitting next to me and agrees
It's Our understanding that the Right Hand/Left Hand thing is a holdover from when modern plumbing was less prevalent, if you catch Our drift. We'll stick to utensils.
Supper and dinner are not completely interchangeable. Dinner is the largest meal of the day. Often it was at lunch. Supper is the evening meal
Bread and olives or bread with cheese and tomatoes sometimes or eggs even , used to be traditional breakfast in greece for most farmers or workers . In 1970s onward the modern coffee cigarette and maybe some pastry from a bakery became a common thing especially in cities . When i used to visit my grand parents as a kid , who lived in a village , i remember i had a slice of bread with olive oil as breakfast that sometimes i would like to add a bit of fresh cut lemon juice on and my grandmother would make me some green tea also. I remember my grandfather liked to have some traditional coffee after he woke up from his afternoon nap.
I'm glad you're giving attention to V. Birchwood. She's a wonderful experimental historian with loads of great videos. Such an underrated channel; I hope she gets loads of new subscribers from this video!
That transition into the ad read was SEAMLESS! Well done!

The besr olives that I've ever had ib my life where in Mt Athos. Where i had gone to visit a monastery for the weekend.
Beat olives I ever had or will probably ever have
Yeah I like it when people add different kinds of olives and mash them into a paste with a little bit of herbs and garlic and olive oil and then you spread it on to the freash bread is so freaking good!
As a spaniard I can confirm, just give me bread and olive oil and I'm happy.
Also, a particularly from modern Spain is the "almuerzo", a meal between the breakfast and lunch (maybe around 10h30 - 11h00). Man I loved having almuerzos out with my friends, olives and / or peanuts are mandatory, they would serve them to you even before ordering anything (for free of course) and then we would eat some sort of tapas or sandwich (tortilla is my favorite) with wine mixed with soda or beer (and yes... it is absolutely normal to drink soft alcohol at that time in the morning)

Fun fact, the state of Texas just so happens to have the perfect climate to produce olives. We don't have to import our Olives from italy, though we do sometimes, because we can just make them here.
My favorite way to have an olive is with pimento innthe pit. Its just, muah! 👌
I‘m craving bread and olives right now.
I‘ve went to sicily (catania, taormina, cefalu and collessano) a month ago.
And I had such great olives in Catania, they were made just with Salt, garlic and spicy pepper - sooo delicous.
Fun fact, in Spanish Cena is indeed Cena as in Dinner. It's just pronounced either we Thena in Castillian Spanish or Sena everywhere else.
Grathias 😂
I follow her, she does this with many time periods. I really enjoy her stuff.
Tasting history with max miller is a great channel for ancient food.
I would not eat ancient greek food, it is over 2000 years old.
Victoria's so cool, this is a great crossover.
Looks really interesting. I have taken a look at the chanel and subscribed.
Loved her medeival food video as well. Great channel
I only was in Southern India but for about 2 months. I learned that you only eat with the right hand and it is oddly satisfying to do so in the right environment. So much that I actually missed it after returning to the West and eating with cutlery again in Indian restaurants.
BTW, you figure out what to do with your left hand once you go to the bathroom and find out that there is no toilet paper ...
Tbh she herself says the diet will be varied so the b-v (or rather the bilabial v thing) shift was most likely already happening by the time koine was developed. If I'm not mistaken sewn chitons too were a later development (don't quote me on this lol) so that may even be the preferred pronunciation :v
Holyyyyyyy mollyyyy.... Can't believe my fav youtuber mentioned india!!!.
Damn I didn't know ur cousin lived and studied in India.
Sir, I was also hoping that u would cover the relation between ancient Rome and india, especially souther india (currently a state called Kerala) , cuz until ig the 1700 ,the only place where u can get pepper which the romans traded for with wine was the land of Kerala .
Fun fact :- we were so prosperous with our trade in Roman (especially after augustes took egypt under the empires wing) that we even had a statue of his in our state back then in order to Commemorate our relations with rome.
Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return unto the ground, for out of it were thou taken; for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.
It is hard coded into man to love bread. It's my favorite food to and I could eat it all day.
What I was learning English in school in the 90's, we were taught "breakfast, dinner and supper".
I love watching her, particularly when making and talking about clothes.
It's cool that you found her.
Genuinely amazed you know that in northern England we refer to lunch as dinner. Many people in Britain don't know that, but a guy from Sicily does! We call our evening meal 'tea' but you probably know that too you clever fellow
Nice! I am a fan of her channel, it is interesting to see your reaction to her video.
It is best to overcook chickpeas. In arabic they are called hummus....
If overcooked, you can mash them very easily and a chickpea stew is chickpeas in watery hummus...and ALWAYS drizzled with large amount of olive oil
Love hummus, works so good with pita/naan and vegetables 😋
Two of my favourite channels combined! What a dream... :)
She had my heart when she started with the mountain tea. The actual meals look very down to earth and doable; they either exist in a similar form today or could easily fit into the existing cuisine with the ingredients.
Awwww you're reacting to one of my favs!!! She's such a doll ❤
4:38 Hey!!! You show me some ancient garb that can survive a full year of work on a 50 acre farm and I’ll give my denim up! Ain’t happening though!
Also… it has to look good with cowboy boots and a hat and work well in 105-110 degree summer.
Joking aside, I got the idea to buy hemp pants and a shirt to see how it felt working in extreme heat with that on. I got a long sleeve to keep the sun off of me. I must admit, while the thread couldn’t survive a full summer, it was definitely a lot cooler to wear than my usual work clothes.
It just doesn’t hold up well.
have you heard of the channel Gesibas Gewissa?
its a dude from England and he has videos where he builds an house with tools from ~650 to 750, after he made the tools by himself.
