Where foods come from, and how they became what they are today is so fascinating to me. American Southern food being based off African food (video idea, how different cultures that geographically lie between two different distinct food styles, and merge them (momos from Nepal, and even the words used is SO FASCINATING. Never change, Adam.

You see, the extra o in macaroon is subtle a hint to the fact that it contains cOconuts while the mac in macaron stands for mac and cheese, the secret ingredient that no chefs ever put in their videos but that I can guarantee makes a difference in the final product.

In French, what you called an 'American Macaroon' is known as a rocher (boulder) or a congolais (Congolese, yes that probably has a racist connotation. Somehow it is thought to have originated in the Antilles, specifically in the island of Martiniques

I grew up calling the french-style things Makronen and the american coconut-version Kokos-Makronen, so basically german for Macaroons and Coconut-Macaroons. I think this is a good thing to have a distinction without needing to use a different language.

As someone who is kind of obsessed with macarons, I've always wondered about their origins and whether they were at all related to macaroons, so I was excited to see this video. Your food science/history videos are awesome, I look forward to them every Monday!

I swear to god, when you did the tick-tock sound with your tongue, waiting for viewers to find the word, macaroni popped into my head a millisecond before the ding sound effect. That was frightening.

Here in the Netherlands we have this sweet called a kokosmakroon (coconut macaroon) which is similar to the ones Adam showed just flattened, but I never made the connection between those and macarons

After years of correcting folks on the semantic differences between macarons and macaroons, it turns out they're more similar than i had ever thought. Thanks for the history lesson, Adam!

From where I'm from macaroni takes the more vague meaning of pasta.
It gets really confusing if you try to explain to people that you're making Mac n cheese and not pasta with cheese
