If you're in the Sukhumvit area, swing through- I'm not a fan of night markets but the food here is next level- we go because of the first non-Chinatown Ann Kway Teow Kua Gai!- and it's convenient to Thong Lor and Asok) 7.

I think humans as smarter apes experimented with eating WHAT THEY SAW other animals eat (bears wolves ate berries) then teach babies each other and what didn't kill them they kept eating. Watched their hunted or later herd deer bison gazelles sheep goats horses grazing munching on grasses, probaby back into Lucy 5 million yrs ago long ago ripping grass and chewing on it's tops was probably done maybe to calm stomach or rid of worms or loosen stool but then realized could survive for a bit with other plants fruits between meats hunting game. HOT ENVIRONMENT and water around eventually chewing grains fruit and drinking water SAMETIME hungry was tasty like eating modern oatmeal then if stuff was accidentally left to dry and got heated on a rock or near fire BOOM and wild yeast a lump of something tasty proto bread. Just like different humans were considering geometry in building things or later calculus was reasoned by same HUMAN MIND species. Even more than a thousand monkeys with typewriters over a thousand or millions years could type a novel human mind follows similar paths of thought and environment interaction and problem solving for needs.

[@morsuljyn-dm]

@@klyanadkmorr Interestingly, there are remains of worked interlocking wooden beams (heavy beams not suitable for hauling anywhere) found near the Kalambo River waterfall in Zambia that date to 476,000 years ago. That's 176,000 years before anatomically modern humans existed. Our prehistoric ancestors were way more advanced than many experts currently believe. It's possible they made a form of bread (it's probable to my mind - if they worked wood, they used it to cook food; the step from cooked gruel to bread is a short one).

[@samlui3591]

Making a documentary as an excuse to eat is a great idea.

[@OTRontheroad]

It’s always funny when someone says something like “why do you always seem to like the food?”….because we get to choose what we film

[@MrNguyenm3]

​@@OTRontheroadtime to make a deep dive in alcohol

Bread🥖🫓🥐🥞🥯🍕🍔🥪🎂🍰🧁🥧🍪🍩Superb!👌🫶👏

[@Beck-u7g]

Excellent show, as usual! Thanks!

[@leedoss6905]

Eating corn tortillas with Mexican rice as we speak.

[@ericmarciano9857]

No joke I’m 10 minutes in and I say out loud, “Man, when was this uploaded? I’ve been looking for a good bread documentary.” Such amazing timing and an awesome video as usual.

[@Priyanshi-td6sm]

History of RICE and now we have history of bread....I now have two favorite episodes...

[@Kat21524]

For me its noodles and bread 😊

[@kaizerkoala]

Rice, Noodles, Potato, and Bread.

[@Kat21524]

@ mmmm potato was also good. Rice was definitely interesting. Potatoes and cooked dough are just so delicious

[@SaviourSword995]

History of rice is already done by this channel. You can find it

[@kaizerkoala]

@@SaviourSword995 I believe OTR already cover all except corn. Rice, Noodle , Potato, and now bread. They even cover khanom chin which is one of the most important carbs for Southeast Asians.

[@YodlingZeek]

This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels, not just food but overall. Would be genuinely be interested in a behind the scenes episode explaining just how you go about making these. Excellent stuff

[@susangarland6869]

This is old-school National Geographic quality content. So well done.

[@ryancantu2141]

Right down to the cinematography and everything!

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

Do I feel influenced? No. Educated? Yes. Another fantastic and informative OTR video.

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

How about a 'History of dumplings' - a good excuse to go back to that Georgian restaurant and have Khinkali. But also to talk about Gyoza, Peirogi etc. Yum. *Edit / Update* I'm just about to fly home from a holiday to Morocco and Briouats absolutely have to be included in the video too!

[@samjohnsonkb]

Just woke up to see a whole hour's worth of material from you! Great way to start the day. Thanks man! Hope you're doing well.

[@fatmayo2293]

Big shout out to whomever invented toast. They received bread and said "cook it again."

[@danielmagyar2028]

If you ever visit Hungary, you MUST try lángos. It's basically a yeasted flatbread which is then deepfried (usually in sunflowerseed oil or lard). The traditional toppings are either garlic oil and flaky salt or sour cream and cheese, but these days, you can find anything on top of them, from ketchup to Nutella. It's a very popular streetfood.

[@ikkue]

Your documentaries of the history of basic staples of human civilisation makes me so proud to live in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. The variety of restaurants serving cuisines from around the world that you can find to illustrate the history of the food you're trying to tell just within city is quite baffling to me even as a native. Keep up the good work!

[@neozoen]

0:31 "it bakes the question" ... now I'll grab my coat and show myself out

[@mylesjude233]

And on a slightly smaller scale, History of Soy Sauce or just Soybeans would be cool too.

[@Kat21524]

I used to hate sourdough until I had it from an actual really good bakery. After that I bought some starter and have been baking it for 4 years now. Its so good 🥰

[@SueK2001]

Just a quick note that Marie Antoinette never said “let them eat cake”, that was something her detractors claimed she said to make her even more hated.

[@warrenjames007]

You were there?

[@leightaft7763]

Proof?

[@skontheroad]

Exactly! And even beyond that, in French, the "Cake" that is referred to is not actually cake, but the hard tops, or the crusts of the leftover breads!

[@chrissiek8706]

And she said brioche, not cake, that's just a bit of a fancier bun, not cake

[@robinpienkowski]

It is so nice to see you rounder and rounder with every episode.

[@BellasBone]

Adam; you were killing me with this one; most of my life has be been very active but the last few years have taken a toll and then lost year I got the dreaded Diabetes diagnosis which has required major dietary changes and specifically, I’ve cut out most bread and have given up my beloved clam chowder in a Boudin sourdough Bread bowl! 😩😫; and it breaks my heart so, as much as I loved the history and the ambience of your favorite bread establishments, watching u eat all that yummy sourdough almost killed me:-) i can’t wait to see what you do with cheese:-)

[@melvinpfannenstein]

I love these deep dive vids on stuff you never think about! so interesting hearing where everyday things come from.

[@nosocomialinfection]

I appreciate everything you do to educate us about the history of food,history and cultures.😊

[@annon231]

Another Master Work. I hope the channel makes lots of dough. Thanks again to the team. As always, I eagerly await your next episode. A few minutes into the view I paused to make two sandwiches with Palma ham, cheddar cheese, and fruit chutney. Delicious when washed down with chilled and spiced tomato juice!

[@weiyanchee4199]

I just realised how amazing this channel and I love your content, but why aren't you available as a podcast because I've a trip coming up and I want to listen to food history for 8 hours on the plane. Please convert your episodes into podcasts

[@ChineseKiwi]

I’m literally downloading this episode via YT Premium right now in the airport to listen to or watch while on the plane 😂

[@adeemuff]

I'm only 20 minutes in, and what a gem it is! Thank you so much for posting this film. Very interesting.

[@spyhunter1]

this documentary is sooooo goood. interesting facts and goood food. i am always waiting for new content. but this is over the top. you outdone yourself!

[@paulbuckle8459]

OTR is so good ,i dont even eat bread anymore but im gonna watch it 😊

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

IKR. Should have at least touched on chaffles! 😂 Saving Americans, one keto meal at a time.... Let's hear it for lupin flour!🎉

[@JPNesker]

I’ve literally been waiting for years for this documentary. Fantastic. Fascinating. Pretty definite . Bravo. Really impressive content.

[@karenc4106]

Beautifully done! I am in a cheery mood from all the ancient carby goodness. Daria being sassy about PB&J …A+

[@antoniosaladin]

Unironically one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this platform

[@highcue]

Bread is life

[@brigidsingleton1596]

Bread is life. Life is Bread. Nothing more Needs to be said. Life is Bread Bread is Life. Baking, eating...yum, no strife.

[@samchapple6363]

Those flatbreads, so simple and yet complex

[@nicholesnow]

My kid just asked about bread at bed last night. Lo and behold, the perfect recommended video appears uploaded just days ago. Amazing

[@dougsinthailand7176]

In a very real way, agriculture built civilization. For nomadic tribes of hunter-gatherers, either you gather and eat wild grains or you don’t. But planting the grain takes an investment and requires a level of organization that is the first step to civilization.

[@teacherdude]

Thank you for making such as entertaining video

[@rockofeighties]

Just want to reach out and say I adore your segments- very detailed and interesting. Great work!

[@questjoyner5086]

Knowing the history of bread makes me want to try making bread again

[@mcknottee]

Subscribed a while back and really enjoying your channel, especially the history videos. Looking forward to more. 🙂

[@danielmaxwell6676]

I think having Daria more involved with you in this video was a Plus. She appears to be a wonderful person and Just the foil to your banter. Thank you for your fanrtastic videos, I have learned so much from them.

[@gbautista100]

These videos have such a giant scope, and are very well made. Great work 🍻

[@darrenmurray861]

A great, inciteful and entertaining video. This is exactly the sort of thing that I come to KZbin for.

[@AbeSandyWX]

We have a sourdough starter my grandma got when they lived in Alaska in the 1970s and it was already 50 years old when she got it. I have a ton of sourdough recipes including waffles, bread, cake, and so many more. It's something seriously special.

[@KamiJ-xx6qm]

Great content! You def influenced me to try baking more variety of breads instead of just 3 types that I already do.

[@bornfreeprepperthailand]

I just started to make my own sourdough bread here in Thailand 🇹🇭. Great documentary as always. Thanks amazing Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤🙏

[@kamilpotato3764]

There is a bread. And there is one bread the rules them all. Sourdough bread.

[@dougsinthailand7176]

Welcome back!

[@emas5306]

Excellent as always. Thank you!

[@austinhornbeck5060]

Did I just watch an hour long documentary for free about bread? Yes I did.

[@ozelhassan8576]

This was so wonderful and Informative, thank you So much, I really Enjoyed this.

[@jessedyball9751]

That was fantastic. Would be great to compliment with a history of beer.

[@AldenVondyck]

nice!! another knowledge for today thanks OTR!

[@Neiot]

As per usual, your videos entertain me and give me new knowledge.

[@shaentei]

Thank you for making this video ❤❤

[@MasterShake9000]

If Daria is happy, we’re happy. Glad your ancient body survived the breadening, Adam! 😂🤣🤣

[@cratorcic9362]

I had just finished making bread at work when I noticed your video come up… excellent timing!

[@christianeno3879]

Fascinating! Great video and I am sure so much time went into researching it.

[@lgwkevin1]

Genuine respect Adam for being in the mood for a beer after the massive amount of bread consumed in the day.

[@allohayy]

More power to you and your team. ❤

[@lorieunicorn]

My favourite thing to do in the kitchen is bake bread. I knead by hand as I love the feel of the dough. I love the aroma and that it's so alive! Thank you for the video! As always, both informative and entertaining.

[@CAVIAR-i8h]

Next stop Pattaya and shortly after, a trip to Tuscany to sell a Rural Villa. Needless to say, I'll be back on the high-carb diet for a while, supported by salami, cheeses, cold meats (especially the much- loved mortadella ) all washed down with quaffs of regional red wine. Thanks again to the team. Bravo, delissioso!

[@jehhuty]

Content like this makes me grateful and amazed by internet and people sharing their creative vision

[@t0mt0mt0m]

Love it. Wrote papers on bread and the history behind it.

[@kalaysia77]

Brilliant 🎉 thank you for all your hard work and EATING 😂

[@zilWeis]

Fantastic Docu OTR! Bread is Life! Thank You for doing a tremendous job and diving deep into the subject. It was eye-opening indeed. You guys are thankfully not influencers. Brrr... Keep up the good work and always looking forward to your uploads. Cheers!

[@Yusuf-ok5rk]

fantastic documentary. never expected pretzel's history to be this wholesome.

[@psocretes8183]

That was a very informative video. I used to live next to a specialist flour mill in England called Write's Flour. One of the ranges they make is bread mixes where you just add oils and water. I make very small batches of bread I use just three or four table spoons of flour to make a loaf. One of my favourite breads is focaccia. I go kayak camping and I love to make unleavened bread when I'm out camping. It seems to taste so much better in the wild.

[@weiguo9887]

Such an underrated channel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@vidyareddy4691]

I'm always so sad when your videos come to an end. Fantastic work!❤

[@isakahlqvist6888]

I got to say, you’re incredibly charming in the way you speak. Combine that with very interesting topics and trivia, and amazing shots of various restaurants and dishes, it makes this is one my all time favorite channels! I watch every video as soon as it’s released!!! Keep it up, love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@Weep1214]

I love this as I just started baking my own bread! I can’t wait to continue my bread baking journey 😁

[@msha4578]

Best video on this app

[@FRodrigues2589]

I've been looking for a video like this about Bread! Great Documentary!

[@beyondborderfilms4352]

The fact that he makes such good videos and his channel being less than 250,000 subscriber feels criminal.

[@MaxuelPereira1981]

What an incredible documentary, as always. I was surprised it did not mention "Casabe," the Amazonian cassava bread made by the Indigenous people for thousands of years. That means a "History of Cassava(Yuca, Mandioca, Manioc)" is next. 😁🙏

[@nigelcooper4285]

Very good once again, well done

[@thomassmith462]

Bae wake up!! OTR posted!!

[@tarjei99]

In Norway, hard flatbread was a necessity because bread was made in large batches. Leavened bread would not last long enough. The best baguette is made with mayonnaise instead of butter, then Ridder cheese, meat and tomato slices. A lettuce leaf is optional.

[@testdasi]

OTR: Sweet bread is cake. Subway: tell me about it! VAT accountants nod heads in agreement.

[@EarthCamper]

OTR... videos are literally "Food for Mind"..

[@abbottabbott1120]

I just finished learning about the village of Van Cu and thinking it'd be a while before another such in-depth video yet here we are… amazing. Thank you!

[@Get-A-Life]

Awesome vid as usual guys, very comprehensive! I've got the bread book out ready to make something for dinner tomorrow. Still waiting on the history of Sate/Satay and that amazing peanut sauce. Cheers Simon

[@Dontpanic88-22]

Blessed by another oTR video

[@cameronoconnor5364]

Brilliant brilliant. I love it. Thank you.

[@verakishta6095]

This makes me so hungry 🤤

[@necrophadian]

Filipino/Tagalog bread sayings: "Walang matigas na tinapay sa mainit na kape". “The hardest bread does not stand a chance when dunked in hot coffee" No matter how tough someone thinks they are, one can break easily in a situation they're not built for.

[@ChineseKiwi]

Great proverb / idiom!

[@SteveConkie-t6r]

Another valuable and entertaining lecture. Keep up the good work. I'm sorry that you and Daria aren't getting along so well these days. It's unfortunate to see.

[@OTRontheroad]

We've recovered from the disagreement about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. (I hope you don't actually think that was serious?)

[@arliss35]

I work maintenance in a factory. To this very day, I eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, though usually before work instead of afterwards. Don't let silly people outside of the States bully you, they're simply wrong. Pb&j is a staple for a reason.

[@KommandantSpark]

Rice, noodles, salt, potatoes, and now bread. I'm loving these food history videos!!!

[@catprince]

Excellent video, as always

[@aaronbarrera1657]

I was thinking about your channel last night. I remembered watching a rather long documentary on tea, and since I started watching your food history videos I just kinda figured it was one of yours. But I needed to revisit it and couldn’t find it here. And that’s bc it was a modern marvels episode. But if you did a video on the history of tea, that would be spectacular!

[@joesmoe6454]

You're on a roll with these last few videos. History of X foods are so good.

[@Khalrua]

00:10 welcome to the video

[@danika9906]

[@Jocelyn_Burnham]

I loved this documentary! I could tell you had a loaf on your mind :) ❤🍞🧠

[@Niksg9424]

Heeeeell yes. I bake bread for a living. This is perfect to come home from work to. Time for breakfast and another lesson from the goats

[@nosferatuwu]

59:00 Can't believe we didn't get footage of the pup cups and pup crackers

[@deendrew36]

This was fantastic, thank you! I would love a run down of the books you have on your shelves. I can only make out a few!

[@ME2too2022]

If channels could do the Sponsor agreements - not only would the channels get profit but the ads would be so much more appropriate! A win -win!
