Today, we look at the history of coffee. However, we're not doing it in our usual style but in the style of our favourite coffee expert. Just because today is a special day.

"Let's all meet up in the tavern for a tankard of beer"
A common phrase in medieval fantasy and probably spoken at a lot of TTRGP tables. However, would you have done so? We have a look at the Medieval Tavern, Alehouse and Inn in this week's video. youtu.be/5IPQIl-FiCY
January is the month in which a lot of people look to shed the holiday weight. Funnily enough, people have been trying to get rid of the extra flab for thousands of years. Our latest video has a look at the funniest, most interesting and weirdest diets throughout history.

New video! Today we have a look at what the poor were able to eat in Victorian England. In order to properly experience it, our cook lived on a workhouse diet for two full weeks.

One of the most daring acts of corporate espionage happened halfway through the 19th century. An agent of the East India Company was sent to China to steal the secret of tea. In our latest video we see whether or not he pulled it off.

We promised that we'd make a video on the history of the pizza in America if enough people asked for it.
Well, you did and this is that video. How America changes the pizza! Little spoiler: it's not just the United States!
Go have a watch! #foodhistory #pizza #america

Will it be a goodly morning or evening? Either way, already looking forward to it!
In case you missed it!
A new video has been up since Thursday. This one is on when the people of The Hague decided to have Grand Pensionary for dinner.
Did the Dutch eat their prime minister? sort of, kinda... in a way... they did!

In 1861 Isabella Beeton published "Beeton's Book of Household Management". This book went on to become an empire with various "Mrs Beeton" book being publish all the way into the 21st century.
However, the original publication holds a dark secret.

Monday is "quatorze juillet" known in the English speaking world as "Bastille Day" or simply the French national holiday. To commemorate this we're digging up a story about one of the France's icons of gastronomy, the vol-au-vent.

I obviously can't speak for other jews, but to me the world's richest man tweaking his AI so that it now describes things it doesn't like on a scale of "bagel to full Shabbat" and "Peak Jewish" is a somewhat higher priority than people being mean about the IDF at Glasto.
Today, we head to Liverpool to taste some scouse and ask the question "what is scouse actually?" #foodhistory

I believe you should get lost in a Tokyo station on your first trip. I remember getting lost in Ikebukuro station fondly. It was also my first ever jetlag, quite the surreal day 😁.
@gunnerblog.bsky.social @arseblog.com Looking forward to a very Goodly Morning tomorrow!
Pitch as the Arsenal Stadium after FT.
Scoreboard of UCL match Arsenal - Dynamo Zagreb at FT (3-0).
Last night was fun. We won!
I was at that match, freezing my toes off. Easy to say that (as an Arsenal fan) this video was more fun (for one, my feet are warmer). Do you think all the Arsenal panic is justified or was this just a bad day at the office vs a side in great form?
It's the most wonderful time of the year (according to some) so that calls for a brand new video. Why do we (we being some English speaking countries) like plum pudding for Christmas? youtu.be/qv4CS7QpJSY #foodhistory #toomanycaveats
I found texts from 18th century British "Grand Tourists" (i.e. before the invention of lunch as a concept) in which they very earnestly write about "having a second breakfast around noon while travelling". In my mind they all immediately morphed into hobbits. 😁
That's the thing though. She had the food but not the break!
I'm just going to leave this here for no specific reason (apart from shameless self promotion)

Pretty sure it's real. After the early vanguard (pretty much you and @samfr.bsky.social ) now everyone I like following seems to be coming over. There are even football analysts on here now, it's great!
This month's video in about croissants. That should be enought to get you to click right? No? Okay! We explain where it actually came from. Now go watch!

As promised, two videos in the months of June. After learning about puff pastry last week we turn to the Maid of Honour tart this week. This treat is surrounded by many stories so we ask if any of them are true. #foodhistory #maidofhonour #historyintaberna

We're back and we've been making dough. Not just any dough but puff pastry dough! Do use a plate because the crumbs will get everywhere!
