How Civilization Was Created By Bread 

Potatoes, Chiles, Tomatoes, Peanuts, and *a lot* more foods that are now staples in cuisines around the world came from the Americas and are only recent additions.

Ya I went straight to comments when I heard this. Perhaps Trump does his fact checking?

Salt and vinegar. Best natural preservatives.

Beer is basically liquid bread.

Yup. Humans are used to their pov. The idea romans didn't get plastic for their bread and to the romans "indestructible glass that could make films" were polar concepts. As i recall, they burned alive the first person to make "indestructable glass" / Resin polymer. Fearing it'd devalue the valuable glass industry that built their city if a object that never broke was around. You can see it too, use natural yeast and you can end up with a natural sourdough, sakeraut is made from natural cabbage. Most stuff will either go blue with mold or turn yeasty. Wine was discovered before boiling grape juice to make pasteruized grape juice after refrigeration for kids.

@@nathanramstorf1033 And for vinegar you have to find out about fermentation first.

I am picturing a cave woman looking in the back for some stored seeds in the depths of winter and finding them wet and spoiled. But when you are hungry you will eat just about anything. Thus, beer was discovered by cave women and it was good!

There would be special softer rolls for the guests to eat if they wanted some bread.

Ironically wholesome dark ages fact

I had something a little bit different. It was flat but it wasn't filled with anything. Still delicious though!

someone needs to sell those where I live

Interesting that the exact same thing is eaten in India too!

@@KristopherNoronha I do love nahn (I think that's how it's spelt?) bread as well, but I've never had it stuffed. I do love Indian curry and food though.

I love that the video back-ground clips are given recognition!! I had to rewind because I recognized John Townsend's sleeve and yup!!! Thanks for crediting your fellow RU-vidrs, Weird Science!!

Sourdough is actually pretty easy. For the most flavor, all you need is time, for the yeast in the air to permeate the starter.

Sorry, for this SF native there has to be some sourdough, even on Vancouver Island.

Whenever I make bread, it lasts about an hour.

Beer is magical!

Just read that in Ed’s voice from ed edd and eddy, “Buttered toast eddy!”

@@Nagatem you must be as old as me, genuinely best wishes to you and yours :)

Buttered toast is good and I this in Ed's voice from Ed, Edd, and Eddy also.

Quite surprised it wasn't a huge part of the video, or even covered at all.

German dish are literally my type. It is also something closer to Roman food (minus fish and garlic) than I can think of another big Western European country

3000???

Don't forget Germany was dozens of little states before Napoleon, and each had a local identity. Also Germans are good at being specific in defining differences. German bread is awesome. Nothing better than wheat and Rye mischbrot with the bread spice... I raised fennel just to use as bread spice (Brotgewurze)

@@jcarey568 Also there was a (insome way still is) a speciality in learning the business of bakery. For "exam" you had to invite a new recipe. So not only every region but every baker had its own speciality.

Marmalade were good too!

Found the most boring person of the group!

AND the "Tasting History" reference was good too !

Carbs are literally deadly over a whole life time

Eschewing bread and carbs is foolish. Completely and utterly foolish.

So, which came first...🍞🍻/🍻🍞🤔

I wonder if any ploughman ever ate a Ploughman's Lunch... (that's bread and beer, if you're not UK, usually with cheese).

@@binkwillans5138 Sure sounds like a ploughman type lunch!

Beer has calories and therefore keeps you alive.

I should head to my local goodwill for a bread machine then lol.

Yeah whenever there’s a Hurricane people always stock up on bread and milk. It’s a weird habit

I just resurrected my 25+ year old bread machine from my back closet. About $1.20 in ingredients to make a 1.5 lb loaf. 10 minutes prep, and 3 hours later, Fresh Bread. (Of course, you're supposed to wait an hour for it to cool... or a half-hour...) So much better than gummy white bread! 😁

​@@brj_hanAmen!

​@@LumaToSame, lol😁

Bread makers don't count as "baking". A trained monkey could make bread in those.

OMG, YEAH!!!!!!

YES! I must try it. I want to try the dough in a waffle iron!

Make pumpkin bread, cheaper than bananas. There's a recipe with self-rising flour, but just add baking powder and salt and any flour becomes self-rising. You can spice it however you like (I add just a bit of nutmeg), and even the unspiced, unsweetened bread goes well with pretty much everything. Sweet or savoury.

Don't forget that Beer is also part of the reason that we humans survived...lol. Liquid bread and much safer to drink than water back in the day...

“As a kid… I liked that machine with the vibrating up-and-down blades cutting the loaf into slices.“ Me, too! When I was a child our mother used to take my sister and I to the bakery in Utica, New York, that was run by my mother’s Aunt Sophie and her husband. I was fascinated by that machine.

@@thefoxfireworkshop I'm glad _someone else_ remembers that machine!

That's what I thought.

How many times I had to dig that thing out before I figured that out...

Italian-Americans call it a doughboy.

Italian?! Fluffy?! Sounds like ciabatta

@@kirdot2011 nope. It's sourdough...

From what I've read, Sourdough is one of the BETTER breads to eat! (and so I do, and I LOVE it)

​@@josephgaviotaActually, sourdough is not a specific bread type as it could be anything.

@@TarikDaniel I'm not the smartest person in the world, I certainly know that ... and maybe my experience is limited, having only brought bread at the store in the US ... but every time I've ever bought sour dough bread, it was always the white sourdough bread ... even when my mom made sourdough at home when I was a kid, it was the same kind of bread ... and she had the starter in a ceramic jug covered with a damp dish cloth in the back of the refrigerator. What "other" types of sourdough are you referring to?

Agreeing with @tip, bread is _surprisingly_ high in sodium ! (which I have to watch)

If only the world could see how oppressed Western Christians are. Not to even mention the fact that you can't throw a rock without hitting a critical theorist trying to ruin our way of life.

People should just say BC. It’s stupid to try to erase our history in the West. This was done by Jews. No other part of the world does this kind of crap.

Three replies to your comment and all censored. Isn’t that interesting, what they censor on RU-vid.

Well contrary to what you think it is actually real bread.

@@metoo6599 that's why I said "consider"

Americans are a little less fettered by tradition than most other countries so we tend to think outside the box.

I’m American and that’s all I use American bread for. If I’m having a soup or minestrone, I’ll have a baguette or French bread. I think that’s pretty common for most Americans.

@@ryanfowler7944 Thank you for your comment 😊

Some of us don't eat any kind of plants at all. Plants are trying to kill us.

I had to scroll too far down to see this That was easily one of MatPat's best videos

Hopefully it’s as good as it look then

@@sebastianjack7075 It was!

So Bombbb

... and potato ... and pasta ... I guess I love my starches 😕

@@josephgaviota I can go without those just fine, but bread??....heck NO!
