A New YouTube Channel I Like

If, like the Old Curmudgeon, you are a history nerd who also likes to cook, you might like it as well.  It's called TastingHistory. In each episode, the presenter picks a recipe from a historical cook book, prepares it, and, at some point during the preparation, pauses to explain a facet of the history of the dish.

To give you a 'taste' (pun intended!), here is his latest offering. The History of Tomatoes | Pomodori Farciti all’Erbette (1773).

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
