I Tried 1,000,000 Years Of Food

Shoutout to this guy for living 1 million years to film this

Okay, I get this is kind of an extremely dumbed down version of everything for YouTube, but honestly, you should try doing a collab with Tasting History or Townsends or something. It would be fun to see them make a historical dish, and then you do a modern hoity-toity version.

Dude accidentally made the best luffy meat on the bone of all time. Never seen one closer.

“Respect traditional recipes, but learn how to break the rules” may be my new favorite cooking motto. You should collab with tasting history for another video about this subject! I’m sure he’d have a lot more to offer you on this subject :)

Fun fact: Hollandaise might only be a recognized mothersauce because of a mixup. Alex did the research and concluded that mayonaise should hold the title according to Escoffiers original work. I would wager that western cuisine is using more mayonaise based sauces then hollandaise sauces nowadays too.

Dude who discovered fire, such a bro for that.

fun fact: hollandaise isn't one of the 5 mother sauces, it should actually be mayonnaise- It was a typo in the translation of Escoffier's book lmao

Josh, one thing that your great channel video collection lacks is a perfect Persian dish. We have lots of delicious recepies; you can make a research for yourself; I suggest maybe start with the most common Persian stew: Ghormesabzi.

Fun fact: Korean red pepper originated (like all chili peppers) in Mexico. Then traveled to Japan through conquest of Mexico and then trade via Portugal. And then moved to Korea by a failed invasion by Japan. Fast forward a few centuries. Now we have the Mexican tortilla meeting back with its old friend the Korean red pepper in this wonderful quesadilla. Your welcome. (Also, Mexican Korean mixed foods are amazing. Me (Korean) and my brother in law (Mexican) come together and make combos we think of all the time and it’s amazing)

If tasting history with max miller was in this video it would have been goated

Josh, you provide some of the most entertaining material on you tube, or tv in general anymore. Just tuning in to anything you put out there with your fun personality makes me smile!

Fun fact, there is no year 0 in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. It goes from 1 BC to 1 AD. Other calanders do include a year 0 though.

For the TV dinners, if they are available you should find the ones in aluminum trays and bake them. That was a huge childhood relief for my Mom during my childhood.

Joshua, I think you have your early timeline way out of wack. Hominins/hominids were using hand axes and other cutting tools as far back as like 1.75 million years ago. There's evidence of stone spears going back half a million years ago. Heck, by 100,000 years ago we became what's known as anatomically modern humans, and absolutely had mastery over stone tools. And, as one last thought, humans really emphasized the gathering part of hunting and gathering, as much as 90% of calories came from things like fruit, nuts, tubers, edible greens, etc. This made me a little dubious of the no spices part. You think early humans didn't think to eat combine things like onion grass, wild garlic, etc with meat?

I love to see the different food throughout the years!! The kimchi quesadilla and the pasta look amazing😊

It's obvious you put a lot of effort into creating your videos. You deserve the success Josh! Love your content and your humor, keep up the great work!

Ray Kroc didn’t open the first McDonald’s. The first was opened by Maurice, and Richard McDonald in 1940 and revamped in 1948. They franchised in the 50s but they were around for 15 years before that.

Bro went from eating dirt to fried rice like Sumeria didn't exist. Skipped Tuh'u. Josh is the Ea-nāṣir of youtube chefs.

I liked the video idea and the execution was even better and I respect the dedication. Keep going man

"shoutout to farming practices that are questionable" literally had me in stitches.
