No, Montezuma was not consuming a lot of sugar with his chocolate drink. It was bitter and flavored with chiles.

The Earl of Sandwich's version was essentially a steak between two chunky slabs of bread. They kept the grease off his fingers.

[@ridureyu]

Macaroni and cheese as fancy European cuisine is kind of a hilarious irony. James Hemings bargained for his freedom, but still died tragically young. This part is not funny.

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

One comment is plenty.

[@theguynamedgio]

I imagine the original mac and cheese was more along the lines of caccio e pepe where it was basically shredded sharp cheeses mixed with pasta and starchy water or alcohol to get it smooth and coat the noodles

[@BELCAN57]

They had to get the slavery angle in.

It easy to make; just take a hamburger bun and stick your foot in it! You have an Arch Deluxe! 😝😆

[@doughboy-dad]

Fun video, but one thing was wrong: Pot pies. Pot pies are supposed to have the filling cooked in a pot or dish and just one crust on top. If it has a bottom and top crust, it's just supposed to be called a pie. So, all those Banquet Frozen Chicken Pot Pies are incorrectly named. They should just be Chicken Pies. However, as we've gotten so far down away from the original definition, one might as well just throw in the towel on correcting this.

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

Many things were wrong, including Mongolian "hamburger meat." To be fair, Western Europe had misunderstood as early as in the Middle Ages the Eastern, nomadic steppe peoples' practice of putting raw meat under the saddle in order to treat the horse's wounds.

[@thadkarwowski]

And a meatball sandwich being “potable” 😂.

[@MagnusWurzer]

Sausage fact: A guy from Frankfurt"invented" the Frankfurter/Wiener in Vienna. Hence it is called Frankfurter in Vienna (and the rest of Austria) and Wiener in most other places.

[@cameroneridan4558]

A Wienerwurst and a Frankfurter are two different types of sausage though, yeah they're similar but they're not exactly the same. Wieners are knackig and Frankfurters aren't :P

Because of the title, the first thing I thought was how McDonald’s fries tasted better when I was a kid in the 89’a compared to today. I no longer eat there but I miss the fries from the 80’s.

The arch deluxe was the most popular sandwich from mcdonalds the reason why it was discontinued was because legally they had to pay jason alexander 33 million dollars per year in royalties and 13 million dollars to chuck woolery the founder of chuckie cheeses

It's also possible for tacos that the Aztecs had a proto taco for centuries. The Spanish conquistadors then spread this in North America.

[@Alexwhatisit]

2:10 right so, this bit you guys got wrong. Majority of turn of the century immigration from Italy did not come from the north, mainly southern Italy and Sicily. So they didn’t bring the pizza crazy with them as you’re stating. Rather it wasn’t until WW2 and millions of GI’s who fought and occupied Italy came home and brought the taste of pizza with them. What came after was a boom time in pizza shops opening all over the country. I like pizza, so I’ve dug a bit in my time.

A hot dog is not a sandwich, it's a taco. It's a matter of how many sides the bread (or whatever covering) is on. A sandwich is covered on two sides only; a hot dog is covered on three, making it a taco.

I don't mind either one of them. I mean it's kind of retarded to think that the male narrator only gets paid to narrate weird history videos when he probably gets paid to do a bunch of different videos. So obviously they're going to need more than one voice over person

Lovely misleading title you came up with. How does a (possibly mythic) origin story of tea tell us what it "originally" tasted like? Saying what foods "originally" tasted like implies both that they tasted different than the version we consume today and that you're _actually going to tell us_ what they originally tasted like.

[@LiterallyAna]

For real. The history bits are nice, but I would like to know what they actually tasted like. The chocolate bit about Moctezuma could've been great if they had mentioned that chocolate was made with chili and it was a spicy bitter drink...

I don't believe it's fair to say that sushi was "invented." That's like giving someone credit for the concept of eating vegetables. Fish have always been there, we were eating them raw in the first place. Then we learned how to cook our food, and you want to praise the guy who still couldn't make a fire a thousand years later?

Invented in a fair, is just old marketing propaganda. That's why everything cool came out of a fair. 9/10 it was just mass introduced at a fair to people outside of the community.
