"You really have big teaspoon." I love that the host called out the chef for being way more generous in using the ingredients than she described.

Thai fish sauce? I thought they were making historically accurate dishes. This reminds me of the chef who made Pomme D’or with pork instead of apple. Pomme means apple.

@OcarinaSapphr- 3 жыл бұрын

Making 'disguised' foods *was* historically accurate, & very common- disguising minced meat as fruit was popular, & making marzipan/ sugar look like things like bacon, or flowers was another trend...

@angelapiccolella1491 3 жыл бұрын

Thai fish sauce is the closest thing we have to roman Garum.

@feloniousbutterfly 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, Garum is quite similar to fish sauce anyway, and making it from scratch is... not advisable.

Bogie man is from bogs. Leathery mummies were found from early times and they were the "bog men" hence "bogie man". So I thought. Green men are confused with that, I suppose. Or maybe I am confused! I do know that the idea of the Bogie Man thrives in America even yet.

Growing up I was never told of “the” boogie man, but rather usually heard it used as an idea. Some sort of scary trope.

Women are not supposed to morris dance because traditionally morris dancing is a fertility rite to ensure good crops.

@Wotsitorlabart Жыл бұрын

Morris dancing has absolutely nothing to do with 'fertility rites'.

@tonytrott6318 Жыл бұрын

@@Wotsitorlabart you know nothing about the history and tradition of morris dancing

@Wotsitorlabart Жыл бұрын

@@tonytrott6318 The earliest references to Morris dancing are from the mid 1400's and it was a dance performed for entertainment at the Royal court (eg in Henry VIII's court) and the upper echelons of society. Later town guilds and parishes sponsored teams and by the 1600's it had spread into the smaller towns and villages with local teams dancing for money. And there were women dancers - in the 19th century they were dancing at Spelsbury in Oxfordshire and Blackwell in Worcestershire plus at least three further instances in the South Midlands. Talk of Morris dancing having pagan origins or being an ancient fertility rite is fanciful nonsense.

@Bella-fz9fy Жыл бұрын

It relates to guise dancing,which is pagan,and it was only documented in the Royal courts,not invented;a similar dance was performed ‘the devils daunce’,and a similar dance going back to the 12th century the ‘Routs and Reyes’ dance!
