Fascinating! Was in beautiful Italy, in Rome, Florence and Genoa many moons ago and had pizza in Genoa the size of English muffins. Also had Fettucini Alfredo at Alfredo's in Rome which is like Sardis in New York famous for celebs. I read a fabulous book, The History of Desserts which mentioned the goblets and cutlery made from spun sugar and then they would eat those after the banquets! Must have been a lot of cavities in those days as well due to sugar. Yes, unfortunately, the interrupting ads are annoying! Thanks for sharing. love your great documentaries!

My mother remembers loaf sugar and I lived in Morocco for several years where you can get beautiful cones of loaf sugar or sugar tablets for tea and coffee. The cones are wrapped in beautiful purple paper. The tablets are quite large I brought home a lot of the illegal food things from Morocco and now they've all been used. They weren't illegal but things like sugar and their gray salt for cooking and they don't usually use it on the table but I loved the flavor so much that I had a little saucer with gray salt on it for my food! :-)

There is evidence that the earliest known use of the fork was in China. However, owing to Chinese cooking and eating etiquette, it was considered rude for the diner to have to manipulate his/her food any more than absolutely necessary (plate/bowl to mouth. Hence, the use of chop sticks which were much more readily available and cheap to produce as bamboo grows everywhere there. Implements that I use quite regularly to eat with and even when cooking.

Pasta existed long before that myth about Marco polo. The ainchent romans had pasta dishes. It is thought they even got it from the Etruscans.
Ofc this documentary must also take the myth around Colombus discovering America as truth as well.
There is little proof of even middle age people believe the planet was flat, also a myth, and so on so on.
This documentary should be viewed with a huge portion of salt.

14: 12 It's getting almost scary, when even History documentaries don't know the difference between printing presses, and the practical movable types that Gutenberg introduced, to make it possible to build up blocks to be printed, with one and one letter, instead of a big slab of wood or other materials, carved out to be pressed a limited number of times.
Repeat after me Timeline: MOVABLE TYPES!

The event they're describing, was known as the St Batholomew's Day Massacre; some of my ancestors were Huguenots (French Protestants) from Lorraine, & they fled to England around this time- I only learnt of this heritage a year ago - it's remarkable, & I like how this doco is exploding old ideas of vegetables being basically non-existant, or merely 'peasant food'.

Vulgar little, ill conceived adverts. How sad. I'll look into purchasing the documentary or renting it. The devolution of society and how we are entertained. All in the name of the Almighty Dollar. Interestingly, the products and services in the ads make them items I will conciously avoid. Grubby little hands clamoring for a coin. Discusting.

Hmm. The only real Christian practice my family did for meals was saying grace - but we were faithful about that part. Was there a reason chicken was, specifically, boiled? My recollection of Sunday chicken (growing up, was fried.
If king Henry had ever tasted KFC, he would probably have deemed it to rich for the commoner.

Hang on Introduction, don't let Spain off the hook for the religious wars of the era. Both Germany and the Netherlands would like to complain about that. And I seem to remember SOMETHING about an Armada going to England to toss a Protestant off the Throne.

The fork was invented by the MOORS (who are black) who ruled Spain for 700 years. They were the ones that introduced courses during meals. I KNOW YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN. BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED

The greater world was slowly being seen as being round
Unless this is a metaphor, this is false. The world had been known to be round since antiquity. I don't mean to be pedantic, but some clarification on this would have been appreciated.

I disagree with Columbus discovered America. I know they believed it was true then, but we now know the Vikings were here and possibly the Scottish came here while colonizing Nova Scotia. Then possibly sometime after that Columbus made an appearance.

Ummm, what's this about the fork 'invented' in Italy and other bull?
The fork has been used in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire since the early Middle Ages and introduced to Venice around the turn of the millennium.

Learning about the Hueguenots and Gerard de Coligny is quite interesting, so I suggest people look at the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre to understand the religious war in France - 12: 19 is an image of what happened that day

Civilized eating habits oh dear! So much condescendence, hubris, arrogance, entitlement and bigotry hidden on this seemingly innocent sentence. Suits the British accent perfectly hahahaha.
