Coffes's a bit understated that stuff was amazing. Imagine people normally drinking depressants suddenly getting doses of stimulants!

I had to google 'invention of butter' 😂😂😂😂 Literally stone carvings first reference it.

7:41 -- Jean-Baptiste La Quintinie 8:03 -- Nicolas de Bonnefons, Les délices de la campagne 22:16 -- Antoine-Augustin Parmentier 23:42 -- Philippe-Victoire Lévêque de Vilmorin 37:42 -- melegueta

22:00 Should have mentioned that the french refused to use potatoes leading to their own famine.

Just love love this series!

Bouillebaisse was a fisherman's stew made from the fish that were unsaleable. The term "bouillebaisse" simply means "lower the the heat".

You haven't lived until you've seen Ken Burns' six part documentary on butter.

Thanks for uploading. I find it very interesting to see how cooking developed throughout the centuries and all the influences it got, even from politics as the ending shows.

I love the History of Cooking shows especially with the Costumes. Nom nom!

excellent episodes, especially for me as a Chef. though i am glad not to have cooked at THAT times.no freezers, no refrigeration, vacuum machine or. most important for me, no coffee for the Chef...

I am enjoying this series.

Lord Sandwich is known to historians NOT to be a gambler. I rally do wish that these docmentary makers would do proper research and get it right. Lord Sandwich was most likely at his desk working, or at his club having a meeting when he first called for a bit of meat between two slices of bread.

7:35 'Words not taken from a fable even if they were from showing the level-10.' Watching this with subtitles on gives this whole documentary a whole different... taste.

Viva la France

Beautiful place..

Potatoes are originally from Peru and chocolate and other goodies like 🍅 are from Mexico.

Nice documentary

excellent video

Pastries were a 19th century invention so were patisseries I am speaking of flaky type like mille faeulle and such or napoleons which were created for Louis-Napoleon.Cakes with frosting as we know are also a 18th century invention,so is chocolate bars.

I was Louis the XIV in a past life, now I'm The Double Rainbow Guy.

Please make subtitles accurate!! My Prof used this vid to make a reflection and I can't comprehend every word he said. I'm not a literate in listening comprehension and I rely on subs only. Please fix it..... I beg. Thanks to the comments before this. It did benefit those who needed it

Very interesting video. Did the cities people, since they didn't have meat, did they fish? Everything cooked from scratch, wow. It's amazing what plain food was changed into a work of art.

Potatoes are brilliant.

Wheat becoming scarce. Wasn't wheat mostly eaten by the upper strata? And farmers ate bread made on coarser sead like barley and rye? So I have learned. When they couldn't even get those more "simple" seads, they must resort to acorns etc.

I'm only using this series for white noise, but sometimes I hear such ridiculous things like, "Butter wasn't invented yet," and I have to stop and stare at the computer in awe of how wrong this documentary is.

the acting is hilarious

I love your post

Thank you for your personal continual understanding, driving force as well as know-how to benefit my mission to becoming more consciously watchful coupled with spiritually connected.

Louis XIV ruled during the majority of the 17th century, and in fact DIED in 1715 during the early period of Enlightenment. Your main imagery shows many mid-18th century illustrations. AOE 1650-1800.

Very interesting but there are way too many commercials that disrupt this video

3:55 ... spices from the lowlands were rejected ... So the Dutch VOC changed French cuisine !?.

Darn ads!!! But despite that problem this video was lovely ✨

The bowls were certainly filled ti the brim

Did this dude seriously just pronounce thyme phonetically? Bruh..

Moliere was not an 18th century but a 17th century playwright. It's quite a mistake in the documentary, especially as it's referring to the 18th century.

Dude just... polishing a gourd lmao

What would we do if chocolate didn't became famous..

Don’t forget the cork was just recently invented.

О, какой зубастый стол)

The old times was way way better ,and interesting to live..

...But the Earl of Sandwich wasn't an addict of card-playing. He was a workaholic. IF he invented the sandwich, which hasn't been proven, he probably did so in order to eat at his desk.

People in the 18th century must've been bored out of their skulls if all they could talk about was peas!

Don't be fooled by the suave British accent--maybe the fault lies with the person behind this playlist--but Louis XIV is NOT the Enlightenment "au contraire"! Maybe the problem is the video is originally in French. I guess something got lost in the translation...

Mostly about France? 4:33 Bouillabaisse.

Forks weren’t used at this time in fact when Louis 16 dauphin tried to use one at dinner,Louis grabbed him and slapped him in front of court also all foods and desserts were placed on the table and everyone reached for what they wanted it is called a la francaise the modern method where you serve yourself from a presented plate is called a la russe and did not come in use until the 19th century; as to court food being sold it was often a perk included with the position of high noble servants to sell the unused food down the way,the used food sold to the poorest.Look up the Dutch plot planting methods of the 17th century and Louis 16 promoted the use of the potato and even had contests held to promote new methods of cooking the potato but the French peasant refused to try or to eat it therefore they starved and blamed the king Louis even though to promote the potato he had it served on the royal table every night but the peasants refused and preferred to starve such is stupidity and he even promoted potato bread.k

in the very end it mentions that eating out in restaurants will never go out of style, fast forward to 2023 where uber eats is probably the main way to eat, just crazy to think

Moliere-1622/1673... sorry ,but it is seventeen century..🙄

All through the eyes of the French, even when talking about other countries. Skimming over the potato use in Britain, saying they were fed to pigs and Irish .

many dates are inaccurate.

layers of remarkably fresh steak...? I think he might mean layers of skate lmao

Thyme is pronounced like time. The aitch is silent

And a famous play writer who was born and died in the 17th? Did he travel to the future as well, to write his play?

How did people in 1658 re-enact a play from the 18th century ?

Came to think about the Swedish king that eat to death during this time.

And out of the whole thing came thee sandwich

Well, can someone kindly explain to me how was it possible that a group of actors, in the year 1658, in the 17th century, rehearsed a play written by a famous play writer of the 18th century? Did they travel to the future and brought back that play with them? ; )

Love this documentary, but I am puzzled as to why there is so much reference to the 18th century when most of what you discuss about Louis XIV and Moliere happened in the 17th century.

Its a bit haunting, looking back at these primitive civilizations compared to our own, I begin to notice how far we've fallen from nobility. I feel as a society that we are turning backwards, maybe its just that point in an aging empire of modernity.

I came here because I searched it. I got curious how gravy sauce was invented XD

Umm... I'm pretty sure Moliere was 17th century, not 18th century.

OK

Hold up anyone notice in these stories that we never hear people having an allergic reaction to seafood like some people do now a days? Someone explain why our bodies are being programmed to reject things?

Wrong. King Louis XIV ruled at Versailles during the 17th century. It was Louis XV and Louis XVI who ruled at Versailles during the mid and late eighteenth centuries

I always think how twisted it was that at a time when men felt that a "woman's place was in the kitchen" they also felt women didn't have what it took to be chefs.

This is the French history of food beginning in the late 17th century, and a not very accurate one at that.

talks about the potato ignores the existance of the nation existing in between ireland and england the potato was readily used by the welsh as most welshman were about poor as any irishman back in the day maybe a bit better off but they certainly didnt ignore the potato

I really hate the fact that their not even saying thank you or looking at the person giving them the dish on the said coarse😤

Makes me wonder what the poor people ate 😔

Enlightenment is not the period of Louis XIV!

people today: the croissant and French fries are a delicacy !! Austria and Belgium who invented them: Am I a joke to you?

First Im descended from royalty

Timeline, I love the content but I’m not fussed on this narrator’s style.

I just learned that beauty marks were placed to distract from less attractive parts of the face or body, such a pock mark that powder couldn't cover up, if it was extreme on the right face you'd put the mark on your left, if your neck was scarred you'd put it on your breast

... and now we know why heads got chopped off - food would make a mass population do that - it's called survival - I would have planted public farms for peasants and given the leftovers away.

This cooking created huge amounts of cholesterol. Heart attack cooking!

I hate peas.

Too many commercials

The soul of a gourmet may be in his palate, but the 2 star woman chef at the end of the program has only left some strands of her hair in your food.😰 i love the video, its a great documentary otherwise, but shes got to tie her hair back🙇‍♀️💆‍♀️🙅‍♀️

this series good but what the point of doing suicide for not geting delivery of fish on time????

Way to many ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the broccoli is historically inaccurate

Are you kidding me ? Butter ? A new ingredient? Also, automated spit roasting machine one of the first in the world ? Get your facts right.

Way to get rich off commercials

Of course the americas helped so many. But still where the savage,right 😒

how can you have actors in 1658 act out a show from the 1800 s , you git your years backwards

Boboess

Two voices are too much.

urgh isnt this all stuck up and snobbish with the french pronunciations and 3 syllable english words in this documentary. seems like the rich are showing off as usual and think they are untouchable and ordering the working class around.

They ate peas from the curved side of the fork?? Gross, by (possibly later) British standards.

10 ads in a 50 minute video? That's an ad every 5 minutes! Shame on you. And don't go on about ad block either. Your videos aren't good enough to merit an ad break every 5 minutes. That's worse than television.

a load of factual errors and a fair bit of patronising of women. Still watched though.

Браво...!!!
