I love a week or so ago during jerma’s “here’s the shit im gonna start doing now” where he added “food reviews” as something he wants to “start” doing because honestly reviewing or talking about food is no less than like 12% of his total existing content
His whole "Things I'll do in retirement" stream was basically "Nothing changes, but now I feel less obliged" and I hope it makes him feel less stressed and happier
mayonnaise having a tier *on its own* is so fucking funny. not even condiments. just mayonnaise. this man is singlehandedly keeping the mayo industry alive
If Jerma made an actual food podcast with STER Jerma would be fawning over some kind of food and all ster would say is "I disagree" and then play the gigachad soundbyte. I would still listen to every single episode
To answer your question about when humans cared about taste, we've cared about taste for all of our history. It's biological that things taste good because it showed that we probably needed it. Take for instance honey, sugar is extremely important in our diet and honey became a necessary luxury resource. Modern day hunter-gatherers seek out honey despite not having a regular abundance, religions and mythos have formed from good tasting food - or food generally. You can look up bees in mythology. Scarcity is also an amazing reason to have sauce, as explained in the video, just like seasoning. Chili - for example - was so spice heavy so that it would hide the flavor and smell of rotting meat. Sauce also goes a long way, using surprisingly little ingredients for a lot of flavor. Think about pastas, you don't really need an insane amount of sauce - often times it's actually just very strong flavors (especially in lemon heavy pasta meals) - to flavor it. If at any point a historian is able to say "hey that's wrong it's actually this" - though I feel like this is a pretty good account as to why sauces became a regular thing - I will gladly take that criticism and edit this comment with that correction. TL;DR - We have cared about taste forever for very good reasons, and there are many examples of this. Edit 1: A small correction made by me
its because sauce preserve stuff and kill bacteria. example like coconut milk stuff extend shelf life spicy stuff kills bacteria, acidic stuff prevent bugs and vitamin c, etc etc
i have been scrolling through the comments trying to find someone who acknowledged the amount of times he said it and this is the only comment i've found.
7:40 For anyone curious about the question "Why would you want sauce" it likely came from an accident (Garum is fermented and salted heavy in an attempt to preserve it, so it was likely a failed attempt to preserve fish) and a natural craving for salt "Sauce" loosely was likely as soon as we started cooking in any way that isn't boiling/grilling/cooking on embers If you cooked meat, then cooked something like onions after, and then added water to scrape off any cooked on bits, you've made sauce. People probably tried it because they liked the crunchy bits for being salty, and then they tried the liquid, and liked that more, so now you've got pan sauce, and now people have something to experiment with. That and cooking a thin salty water mix with something like onions and aromatics, reducing it, and then going "Wow, salt, I like that." Human history is basically us finding salt and water and then growing around sources of salt and water. The sauces to conceal near off flavors is something that only happened after, obviously, you're not going to take your gross almost spoiled meat and just invent a sauce using stuff you'd never think to use. Depending on the culture, their sauces probably stemmed from boiled meals being reduced, especially in areas where meals are a lot of "Just throw everything together and cook until the pot's reduced halfway" they often developed the types of sauces to then cover off foods.
5:13 I guess he’d been considering this for so long. Jerma has to understand that we watch for him and that whatever game or activity he is doing is just a vehicle to seeing what weird hysterical shit he ends up saying or doing.
Dude, every single time I watch his food pyramid I’m fucking doubled over laughing. I always lose it when he just exclaims “fuck, that’s a lot of mayonnaise”
it's funny how jermas discussion on the "origins of the first sauce" is almost all the opposite of likely reality. It wasn't the rich, it was the ultra poor, and it came incredibly early on but not from abundance, instead an absolute lack of it. The first sauces were derived from stocks which were made by the poor with the remaining bits of animal and plant material available to you, the rich got to eat the best cut of beef, the poor have to take all the scraps and find a way to use it, boil down the bones? Tough meat, useless parts of vegetables and you have a stock that will taste pretty good, and do that for longer and you have a sauce. Additionally sauce can easily be done by hunter-gatherers. You can at the end of the collect all your scraps from hunting and gathering and add them to a container with water over the fire to simmer down overnight. That makes a stock and then you do that longer to get a sauce. Lastly we didn't seek out a delicious sauce, it found us. Like all our other preferences like animals we are "imbued" with taste buds that tells we are on the right track. There was likely no experimenting, just "knowing" your stock/sauce was good because it tasted good. The ungulate you killed and ate tasted good so we threw the rest of it in a pot and it obviously tasted good too.
I just love the embarrassed honesty where Jerma admits even as a full grown adult he has no self control if there are Snickers ice cream bars (and various other items) in the freezer.
hearing this makes me think jerma would be a great guest on the taste buds podcast. its a podcast literally about fighting over food (among other things) with Sal Vulcano of impractical jokers fame and his good comedian buddy Joe DeRosa. it perfectly captures this kind of energy
You know, the first sauce was probably a natural progression of cooking in pots instead of pit barbecue or roasting things on sticks. Lots of foods just release liquid when cooked, and if you happen to have any kind of ground grain, adding the ground grain to the cooking pot would thicken it. There you have it! Sauce. Also. The concept of people using spices to disguise spoiled food doesn't seem especially sound--eating spoiled food and getting food poisoning could be a death sentence in a world without antibiotics. People use spices because spices add nutrition to food as well as flavor. Many spices are actually medicines--cloves, for example, which are both tasty and which can be used as topical painkillers. And spices used to be fabulously expensive; nobody would have taken, say, saffron, and used it to season rotting chicken. If anything the bad meat would have been thrown to the dogs, and only the freshest would be seasoned.
I think sauces came from people being like "I have some flour but not enough to make a loaf of bread" so instead they threw it in the stew pot and realized it kept the fat from floating to the top and tasted better.
My theory for sauces is that they started as like a glaze for meat cooked over a fire. Like someone mashed some berries up and added it to what they were cooking. Experimentation is human nature, and common dietary elements being combined like that seems like an inevitability.
The hate boner for tuna reminds me a lot of the way people tend to treat pineapple on pizza, they treat it like it's the worst thing ever, most shows even have jokes about it, but I never thought it was that bad.
Jerma acting like sauce does not contain any nutritional value and ONLY serves to add flavor is insane. It was no surprise when I learned what they fed him in the insane asylum
that thing he's describing about other people making food and it tastes better is so real. a gal made me a basic ass ham and cheese sammy a few weeks ago and somehow it was incredible
Holy shit, the steak part is entirely me. I don’t like steak almost at all, but I love beef and burgers, and I would only get a steak if it’s medium. Goatee takes on food king
I just woke up to this autoplaying, still not sure what I’m watching; what a banger of an episode! Glad Jeremy Hypno-blasted this in to my consciousness
It's become almost a tradition for me to listen to this video while I'm packing when moving. It makes the work so much more bearable. Would love to see an actual Jerma food podcast
Perfect thing to watch after my tooth exploded and the sharp corner of my remaining tooth cut open my tongue a little bit and every time i talk it cut just a little more. Yowch!
jerma's "first sauce" argument does not work, the first sauce would have been made by cavemen on accident because "food go bad quick, but what if put bad plant food with bad meat food make both taste good-er? seem likely."
15:50 I hate people like who Jerma is schooling, but he is not that bad after he realizes his wrongs and wants to grow from them, so that is chill, and its all thanks to the Jermyman
Jerma needs to retire and open up an Ice Cream store, call it Jermazing Freezeria. And when he serves you a scoop, he says "ITS JERMING TIME" and everyone claps.
on the sauce thing, a lot of sauces form naturally while cooking whatever the dish is, but a lot of sauces that are made as things to add to things descend ways of preserving food
Sauces started from the meat drippings. "Oh no my meat juice is escaping, better collecti it and make something with it. Now I have meat juice, let's throw this inedible nice smelling and tasting herb in there. Oh wow, it's *sauce*". It wasn't started by abundance.
I’m not joking. I swear on my fucking life: i fell asleep to this video on loop, and Jerma genuinely saved me from the nightmare i was having because of 2:42:52. Bless you, you little psycho man.
I never understand why he's so hung up on cavemen making the first sauce and then getting confused because cavemen need to make the most out of their food, like yeah no cavemen probably didn't make the first sauce precisely for that reason
