Beside the point, but repeat experimentation is a perfectly logical origin story for a successful dish.

Instead, food history is full of spontaneously perfect creation stories, cooks who just happened to whip up something great. Most stories like this turn out to be false.

Book cover. Text in Fraktur print on a dark brown background surrounded by a decorative frame topped by a stylised artillery shell. It reads (in translation): Bowls and punches for field and exercise use by the German army.

Illustration from the book. A black-and-white engraving shows a tall cylindrical glass and a tall stemmed glass. Both are filled with crushed ice and decorated with fruit. A spoon and straw are stuck in each. The cylindrical glass is labelled "a fully garnished sherry cobbler", the stemmed glass is labelled "champagne cobbler"

No revolutions, nothing medieval - a friend sent me this awesome resource about what German officers drank in 1910 and it probably explains a few things about the #FirstWorldWar

Granaatappel: voedzaam en vruchtbaar Je struikelt bijna over de granaatappels in de tentoonstelling gewijd aan Paestum in het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. Gauw gaan kijken hoor, want het is een leuke, informatieve én vermakelijke expo. Althans, wie op eten let, zoals ik, zal die granaatappels op verschillende manieren tegenkomen. De voedselhistoricus wil meer weten natuurlijk.

Daar blogde ik een tijd geleden al over. #foodhistory lizetkruyff.nl/granaatappel...

Olive oil dominates Corinthian trade by 624 BC, shipped in stamped amphorae that double as early “branding”—a kitchen staple turned export commodity, shaping how the Greek world cooks and profits. #FoodHistory

A panoramic view of Stalinallee (today Karl-Marx-Allee) in 1953. The photograph shows a street lined with tall apartment blocks, dominated by a state of Joseph Stalin in the centre. This was one of the most prestigious rebuilding projects in East Germany, and the workers there were among the first to go on strike and protest the increase in labour quotas.

A Soviet T-34 tank in a Berlin street on 17 June 1953. The photograph shows the tank moving past a group of people on foot and on bicycles. Old apartment blocks can be seen in the background.

East Germany claimed the uprising of 17 June 1953 was about revanchism and counterrevolution. West Germany said it was about national unity and democracy. Really, all they needed to do was pay people enough to live.

Eight pieces of Hevva cake. Two green sea floats. On wooden surface with linen cloth to the left.

The criss-cross pattern on the surface of a Hevva cake represents a fishing net. The cakes were baked by the wives of fishermen returning from catching pilchards.

Vintage Photos: 19th & Early 20th Century NYC Street Food Vendors - Untapped New York A collection of vintage photographs showing the origins of food trucks, wagons, pushcarts, automats and other street food vendors in NYC.

New York City's street food culture goes back to the 1600s — when oysters and clams were sold to working-class New Yorkers from pushcarts. Untapped New York traces that history through stunning vintage photos.

Part of a sixteenth-century an altarpiece painted in 1518 by Quinten Massys. The entire thing is fairly dull, but in this section we see a dog bringing St Rochus a small round bread loaf that I am fairly sure qualifies as a semmel. This is a decent guide to the size, colour, and style we are looking for when we reconstruct them.

A piece of woodcarving from the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum. It is a small part of a larger altarpiece, a Nativity scene showing Mary in bed, Joseph cooking, and two angels serving the meal. The work dates to between 1513 and 1519 and this is how a wealthy woman was served at the time: wine poured from a decorative pitcher, warm food in covered dishes brought by a servant on a napkin. On the side table, we can see two small bread loaves, perhaps one wheat and one rye, as is described in a poem on table manners, or differing in some other way, and a plate that may be holding fruit or some other dish I am not sure about. Soups, cheese and hard custards were recommended for women in childbed, but this does not look particularly like any of these things.
