Kinda funny. Ah, the nobility, all exquisitely familiar with each other and their ranked bloodlines going back hundreds of years. But they were all dead. so restaurants were invented to introduce members of the rising moneyed class to each other. Because prior, they were all nobodies coming from nowhere who needed introduction so a new nobility could be formed. People are just people after all. History repeats. Meet the new nobility, same as the old nobility. or it will be given a little age it can brag about. So silly. but DO bring on the wonderful food.

Finally another revolution, non-violent for once, the Industrial Revolution LOL.
Who's behind this poppycock?
Do they know nothing of the misery brought about by the Industrial Revolution to people all over the world (except for capitalists.
OK! It did, unlike current late capitalism, lead to an eventual increase in social wealth thanks to its destruction of feudal fetters and its alliance with science and technology, but let's not be silly!

Lie by omission - This documentary casually passes over the real reason for the Irish Potato Famine: Ireland was brutally exploited by the English. Even at the height of the Great Famine, the Irish were forced to export wheat, meat and other produce to England. All that was left for the Irish was potatoes and cabbage. No more potatoes? The English oppressors couldn't care less.

The irony of using Millet's The Gleaners (Des glaneuses, 1857, to illustrate [production methods that] meant better food for the entire population, beggars belief! (22: 05) It is pure ideology, and rather illustrates the need for a repetition of a second Jacobin revolution. cf wikipedia: The painting illustrated a realistic view of poverty and the working class.

The narrator with the oxford accent smoothly glosses over the Irish potato famine as if it hadn't deliberately worsened by English policies. The rest of Europe hardly noticed. The English gentry certainly did and profited by it. I'm not even Irish, and I find that bit offensive.

Funny how this is the fanciest eating docu I've seen in a while, it explains well the differences before and after the revolution but in the end food is still a way to display status and (new) wealth nvm the peasants and their revolution: D

Interesting series, especially for the semi-professional this particular episode helps us see that even though French cooking has that cache nowadays. it's a late-comer. next to Italian Greek and Mediterranean and so forth going East.

I like the classical type of music used in these. It inspires me as I myself like to compose that type of music for fun. For example that music at 24: 25 made me think of super mario or some kind of RPG. :)

The only reason that restaurants came about was because the aristocrats in the elite and those days were the only ones with food and you couldn't trust anybody they could be poisoned so we all got together

the Irish didn't starve to death because they relied on just the potato. they died in droves because the british took their food. animals, veggies and grain. still a great video.

There's a lot of misinformation in this video. Don't watch it. For example: bran is what makes bread brown, not chaff. Butter had already been invented for thousands of years.

The supposed dishes they are showing by Careme at around 6: 00 in are hilariously lacking in his style - they are obviously made by modern day amateurs.

So they beheaded a king got rid of aristocrats to just become as snobbish as them and have a emperor. How did that help the real poor people.
