An old Cartoon Network show called “Marvelous misadventures of flapjack” always depict candy as drugs and alcohol in a universe dominated by pirates. Now I learned it wasn’t that far off. Great video!
Your videos do a great job of portraying the actual day-to-day living (dare one say 'lifestyle'?) of not only pirates, but the various populations of the Caribbean colonial period. We must keep in mind that the Caribbean was the literal center of global trade, with Asian products carried across the Pacific, then across Mexico or Panama, then loaded onto Atlantic fleets for shipment to either North America or Europe. Thus pirates had access to goods from all over the world. The fact that they liked, sugar, alcohol and caffeine isn't too surprising, after all, who doesn't? What I find most significant is that while many people think these freebooters, corsairs, pirates, etc. suffered deprivation and barely survived, that was not always the case. Of course, ocean travel involves certain risks, even today, but those risks were shared by anyone who was traveling a long distance, even on land in so-called 'civilized' countries. It's perfectly reasonable to think many men (and yes, the occasional woman) who had a sailing background might be a merchant, a smuggler, a privateer and, sure, the occasional pirate. These occupations weren't seen as seperate at that time. British Royal Navy captains were known to transport cargo for personal profit, and if they captured goods or an enemy vessel, received a portion of the value as a reward for their service. After all, the British dispatched a Royal Navy ship called the Bounty to transport breadbruit trees from Tahiti to Jamaica, not exactly what you'd call a military mission. Business was frequently done at the point of a cannon (or two), and smuggling was an ancient occupation, well known to European sailors. Many fishermen supplemented their income with smuggling, why not? You've got a boat and the fishing stinks, got to make a buck! I've ovned boats (definition: a wood-lined hole in the water into which you pour money) and one day you go fishing, another day you take a few friends around the Bay, if given the opportunity to make a buck transporting cargo, I'd have done it. A lot of illicit drug traffic is carried on private vessels today. Returning to the subject of sugar...all of Europe went mad for the stuff, which isn't too surprising if the only sweetener you'd ever tasted was honey, and most didn't even have that. Plus they were getting coffee and cacao, both sources of caffeine. Got without any caffeine for a month and then drink a cup of coffee, it will hit you almost like a bit of cocaine (yet another New World drug!) Along with opium and cannabis, the Indies, both East and West, got the rest of the world hooked on all sorts of new, mind-altering substances! Sweet revenge.
Great stuff as always. I love the conclusion image of the more accurately portrayed sea rover - a big, hot chocolate-drinking F-you to Hollywood pirates.
Sweet. An interesting video once more! Perhaps it would have been interesting to learn more of the buccaneers and their relationship with the plantation economy with examples. Anyway, good content. Cheers!🏴☠
barbecuing or boucanning was only possible on land, and sharks were fished out at sea, so it's less likely but not implausible that they could've been barbecued
i love that my childhood fantasies of hot chocolate pirates arent actually too far off real pirates.. except.. that they were mainly female and didn't like to be murderous, and wore fancy dresses (i was 9 after all)
In a few months i'll play a pirate-based LARP, should i tell the organizers to serve us hot chocolate at the event? It will surely help the historical accuracy
Like commented this was a very interesting video. I think it would have been interesting to hear more of spices as they would have been valuable pirate loot (especially in the East Indies but more broadly too) but perhaps another time. If I recal cinnamon and the like would have been used for drinks alike perhaps. Pepper for Spanish cocoa and the like. It had been the European need for spices that led to the discovery of America by Columbus. Anyways Cheers! 🏴☠️
I remember there was an account in a book how tons of spices like pepper and clove were abandoned by pirates on a Madagascar shore (Perhaps Pirates by Richard Platt). Not sure if based on primary sources. Anyways topic for another time perhaps. Cheers!🏴☠️
@@GoldandGunpowder the Spanish took over receiving cacao as "tribute" (aka taxes) after the Cortez conquest. Cacao beans were used as money along with reales, and seen in markets up until the 1850s. Note: cacao beans were never used to buy cocoa (the drink)!
@@GoldandGunpowder No worries. I’m writing a history book on pirates & chocolate. Will let you know when it’s ready. I appreciate your videos helping me learn about pirates.
Be careful using Blizzard entertainment copyrighted material in your work my friend. It would suck to have your channel built up only to be struck down because of that.
video games don't copyright strike usage of their music since they depend on streamers and creators making stuff about their games and thus using their assets, essentially I exploit a loophole
@@GoldandGunpowder I think you just said it right there...if they saw your content has absolutely nothing to do with their game and your getting millions of views they might come down at the worst time. Just a thought.
Here's my pirate meme (only transformers fans will understand it) : A conversation between Charles Vane's lieutenants be like : Robert Deal (in Skywarp's role) : I say that Vane's plan was brilliant!😀 Calico Jack (in Starscream's role) : And I say that the attack on Rogers' flagship with the fire ship was a waste of gunpowder!😠 Robert Deal : You waste more gunpowder with your mouth!!!!😡 Calico Jack : Why you little.....😡😡😡 (And the fight begins) The two pirate lieutenants to each other : 😡😡😡👊👊👊💥💥💥

The idea of a Captain, a Boy and their whale trying to find the legendary Candy Island doesn't sound so far fetched now.
Probably the most accurate pirate fiction out there today😂
Ahh I wish they actually finished the great adventures of flapjack
Well known fact, the real reason pirates loved alcohol is because it's just fermented sugar.
RUM intensifies
I’m gonna use that one
Actually, the sugar creates alcohol, interacting with yeast. The mash of whatever you use is what ferments, whether it be fruit or grain.
Hearing about what a pirate enjoyed drinking the most was a little shocking; you might describe it as a shocklette.
get outta here
I see what you did there 🙃
Now we know why old cartoons always depict sugar as being in the form of "lumps."
An old Cartoon Network show called “Marvelous misadventures of flapjack” always depict candy as drugs and alcohol in a universe dominated by pirates. Now I learned it wasn’t that far off. Great video!
That explains why The Mis Adventures of Flap Jack cartoon portrayed candy as an extremely valuable commodity
Now I'm imagining a pirate cook singing a version of the Hot Chocolate song from the polar express. My mind is cursed.
Make that a drunken edition.
Here we've only got one rule, never ever let it cool.
The way people of that era used sugar by scraping and breaking off pieces of sugarloaves sounds so much more fun that how we use it today.
6:50 "Spanish were espiecially voracius consoomers"

flapjack was incredibly accurate

So there's some truth to the cartoon Flapjack. 🤔

WOOOOOOOH, GNG UPLOAD!
Your uploads are now a monthly holiday to me.
Perfect lunchtime content! Thanks, G&G
Cooking pirate sweets featuring Gold and Gunpowder when????
So this would mean flapjack is partially historically accurate.
I guess the cartoon Flapjack had some truth to it. And I never knew that even sharks are on the menu, and do they come with a barbecue option?
barbecuing or boucanning was only possible on land, and sharks were fished out at sea, so it's less likely but not implausible that they could've been barbecued
I love these videos!! They are so enlightening and it makes me think of all the historic misunderstandings we have
So pirates plundered the same brown gold that's used to make TURRON de doña pepa?
Nice.
Man that STV music is nostalgic
My immediate thought from the video title was "There was a candy pirate captain in Kids Next Door"
You need to do a video of black sam many other famous pirates great video fella
i love that my childhood fantasies of hot chocolate pirates arent actually too far off real pirates.. except.. that they were mainly female and didn't like to be murderous, and wore fancy dresses (i was 9 after all)
That’s so wholesome
this is a great video, learned something today
The Candy Man can. This made me think of a "Willy Wonka" kind of Pirate crew with Gobstopper boats and lollipop cannons.
In a few months i'll play a pirate-based LARP, should i tell the organizers to serve us hot chocolate at the event? It will surely help the historical accuracy
it's a good non-alcoholic alternative
This sounds amazing. What's the event called?
Candy wife? Candy wife??
Love your videos
Wait is the Music from WoW stranglethorn valley or where is it from?
i have to try the pimento with hot chocolate, sounds interesting
Good video, bro. it would be a good idea to make a video about the most famous privateer: Francis Drake.
outside of the timeframe i cover on this channel
🎶bate bate chocolate 🎶
Yo Ho HO and a mug of Hot COcoa!!
Too bad fluoride toothpaste wasn’t invented yet
What is the audio track at the end of the video? It is very pleasant to listen to.

We still love candy.

If I don't say a lot about a topic, it's usually because I don't have a lot of say about it, because the information isn't out there
I remember there was an account in a book how tons of spices like pepper and clove were abandoned by pirates on a Madagascar shore (Perhaps Pirates by Richard Platt). Not sure if based on primary sources. Anyways topic for another time perhaps. Cheers!🏴☠️
you mean to tell me candybeard from codename knd was based off history?
yeah, I met him
06:38 SHOCKLATE

very fun
“Belly timber”???
You left out the part where cacao beans were considered money…aka “brown gold”
afaik that was only a Precolumbian practice
@@GoldandGunpowder the Spanish took over receiving cacao as "tribute" (aka taxes) after the Cortez conquest. Cacao beans were used as money along with reales, and seen in markets up until the 1850s. Note: cacao beans were never used to buy cocoa (the drink)!

What was the word at the end? Belly-something???
belly timber
Shocolate
Here's my pirate meme (only transformers fans will understand it) :
A conversation between Charles Vane's lieutenants be like :
Robert Deal (in Skywarp's role) : I say that Vane's plan was brilliant!😀
Calico Jack (in Starscream's role) : And I say that the attack on Rogers' flagship with the fire ship was a waste of gunpowder!😠
Robert Deal : You waste more gunpowder with your mouth!!!!😡
Calico Jack : Why you little.....😡😡😡
(And the fight begins)
The two pirate lieutenants to each other : 😡😡😡👊👊👊💥💥💥
This is pure gold.
i have a searing and inexplicable contempt for your comments
heiwjwjsiemelwowjdn 👍 👍 😎
Yes
Hearing "shocklate" so many times in a row kinda hurt my head.
if you understand what I'm saying I don't understand what the problem is
The narrator's accent makes me believe he is swedish
He is
