The word "corn" was historically interchangeable with the word "grain." Not just grains like wheat--and yes, what we call corn now--but also grains of salt, grains of sand, etc. It wasn't called "corning" because it was corn-sized, but because it used grains of salt in the process. It's the same deal with peppercorns--any collection of small, granular things could have that name.

Same in Australia, what Americans call “English muffins” we call “muffins” as the British do. While the sweet, breakfast cakes that Americans call “muffins” came over a couple of decades ago and usually get prefixed by the key ingredient eg “choc chip muffins” or “blueberry muffins”, which sets them apart sufficiently that everyone knows what is meant. You don’t seem to see the latter much these days, except at corporate catering events and in hotels, presumably as a cost-effective way of bulking up a breakfast buffet, alongside the inevitable sliced kiwifruit and cups of muesli and yoghurt.

@@Dimapur In America at least, "water lily" means Nymphea species (most of which are toxic, certainly almost always if raw) not Nelumbo (water lotus, which was shown & is edible) nor other aquatic flowering plants like Nuphar (spatterdock), water Crinum, or water poppies. I guess it is occasionally used for the giant Amazonian "waterlilies" (Victoria sp.) but those (unlike Nelumbo) are close relatives of Nymphea, and always have the word "giant" attached to them. Perhaps they are eaten somehow where wild; they are absurdly expensive in cold climates, so are not eaten here. My bet would be that the seeds, not the root, would be edible, as with another relative, Eurayle ferox (foxnut, cultivated in India) and consistent with recorded Native use of spatterdock (which is however troublesome to harvest, so rarely done anymore.

@@erikjohnson9223 While you are right that most water lilies refer to a different plant, it is true that lotuses are commonly referred to as "water lilies" in English. To put it simply, most people don't really understand the difference between a lotus and a water lily, so they are ALL called "water lilies" by the average person. Frankly, I don't get why everyone is in a huff about how the narrator said it, because common terminology is still valid as long as most people understand it. Both species are very similar in looks, and the average Westerner is no master horticulturalist, so obviously they wouldn't be able to catch the difference...

@@nomoretwitterhandles Even though calling tomato sauce "nightshade sauce" is far more botanically accurate than calling water lotuses "waterlilies," I don't recommend it, as it can confuse the line between a perfectly edible substance (ripe tomato fruit and sensibly made products based upon it) and deadly poison (the fruit of many other Solanum species including that of the potato or bittersweet nightshade, or of related genera like Atropa that share the same sinister common name). Waterlily (Nymphea) roots are poison, though not as severe as Atropa belladonna. Nelumbo roots are safe (at least if cooked to kill incidental parasites often found in aquatic environments). I agree that it would take knowledge of molecular phyllogeny to deduce that lotuses are related to sycamore (USA sense, probably called "plane trees" in the U.K. where sycamore seems to be a type of maple: Platanus sp.) And Proteiods, but disagree that only a trained botanist or horticulturalist can distinguish between Nelumbo and Nymphea. Urban schools may make people more stupid, but anyone with a 5-yr old's ability to discern patterns will imediately recognize that the leaves of Nymphea are always cleft and always underwater or floating. Nelumbo leaves are never cleft (the petiole always goes to the middle and the leaf is a perfect circle until it becomes a conical cup), usually emergent (arising significantly above the water, just as cattails do). Nelumbo flowers & "fruits" always have a very distinctive "showerhead" female part in the center of the flower which becomes a wooden upturned "showerhead" after the petals fall off. Neither Nymphea capsules nor anything else I can think of looks remotely like that. Not at all difficult, and correct ID is vital in terms of edibility or not. You are right in that common names can become a jumbled mess (but perhaps because I was raised in the South, where idiocy isn't a requirement to become a teacher like it seems to be where I live now, I have *never* heard Nelumbo called a "waterlily"), so using/mentioning scientific names is the best policy. Molecular phyllogeny has been changing some of those in (what I find to be) weird ways, but it still removes most ambiguity. BTW, I am not a trained botanist nor horticulturalist. I studied engineering and a little math, and do mostly basic chemistry for a living. It doesn't take an expert to distinguish between Nelumbo and Nymphea, just basic pattern matching skills that nearly every child has.

Alfredo in the US is basically what chefs would call a Bechamel sauce or any sauce or rue with a cream base. So it may not be authentic Italian but go ahead and stir it up! My favorite sauce is Pesto with Italian basil not Thai basil that is a spicy variety called Queen of Siam. Falling in love with sauce is nothing new a wonderful vortex that may captivate you. In French cooking they gave us the Bechemel type sauces and a specialist chef call the Saucier! You too can be as possessed as Ratatouille the little chef. I like to get my little Basil plants and put them in sauces it feels very fun.

I love basil and pesto! I first tried pesto from a TV dinner (it was a dark time..), and I fell in love right away. I knew that there clearly had to be better pesto out there, considering mine was just a frozen dinner, so the next time I went to an Italian-style restaurant, the first thing I looked for was a pesto dish. I do wish Italian eateries weren't so Americanized, because their food is so heavy and I typically avoid "Italian" food altogether (never liked chicken alfredo, if you can believe it). However, no matter which Italian place I eat at, pesto is so much lighter in comparison, making it way easier for me to enjoy pasta. Sometime I hope to grow my own herbs so I can make my own pesto at home. (Side note, I absolutely love Ratatouille, that movie has always captivated me lol.) Thanks for sharing your love of sauce, it's nice to see such passion every now and again!

Pasta existed in Italy well before the 1200's . Giving credit to The Chinese for pasta is insulting to us Italians. It is the Won Ton and dumpling that inspired the raviolo. We already had pasta.

A Japanese migrant came to Mexico in the 20th century, he made a nut candy that he called Japanese Nut and became associated with Japan in Mexico, in Japan this types of nut candy is called “Mexican nut” instead.

@@jessicab9660 "Japanese peanuts" sold as a beer snack in "Mexican" and often other grocery and convenience stores in Chicago are a peanut encased in a hard shell that somewhat resembles crunchy, fried batter (but isn't crumbly; it is as solid as the wax-based? candy shell that encases M&Ms). I suspect this is the same product that became popular in Mexico. Mexican marzipan, by contrast, was probably European/Hispanic-derived, since it is identical to European marzipan with the simple substitution of peanuts for almonds.

The modern "Italian food" Americans are so familiar with are adaptions of original Italian recipes from Italian immigrants between the 1880's and 1924, especially in the northeastern USA. In fact, the modern tomato and ground beef pasta sauce likely was developed from these group of immigrants.

For your information: Did you know, that the song at 1:03 is the banned verse of the german anthem. It is banned because it is the verse wich was inventet bei de nazis. It says "Germany, Germany above all" and it was fundamental at the propaganda of germany being the world-dominating nation. In Germany the public usage of the 3rd verse of the german anthem is punishable by law.

No, not according to Wikipedia.This line originally meant that the most important aim of 19th-century German liberal revolutionaries should be a unified Germany which would overcome loyalties to the local kingdoms, principalities, duchies and palatines of then-fragmented Germany.Only later, and especially in Nazi Germany, did these words come to imply German superiority over and domination of other countries....It is discouraged, although not illegal, to perform the first stanza.

The 'corning' salt was so called (back in the old country) because the crystals were the size of wheat or barley grains and 'corn' has always been the generic name for 'whatever grain we grow locally'. In the early days of the New World settlements they used the word to apply to the dominant local grain/starch which was maize ( 'Indian corn) and it became the US defacto name for maize

@Weird History Food, you have use the "forbidden" part of the German national anthem at minute 1:03/1:04 and minute 1:11/1:12. It is the part starting with "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, über alles in der Welt" which means "Germany, Germany above everything, above everything in the world". After WW II and the Nazi's regime, we do not use this part of the national anthem any more to represent our country.

you used the old german anthem in the part where you were covering the german chocolate cake.

@@Spirit451 I am German too, so I can confirm what Mike says. The anthem nowadays starts with "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit", while here they used the beginning of the first stanza "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles". "Since World War II and the fall of Nazi Germany, only the third stanza has been used as the national anthem." from the Wikipedia article, search for "Deutschlandlied".

Didn't noodles evolve separately in Europe and Asia? There is evidence of noodles in Europe from 500-600 AD and in Asia from 200 BC to 200 AD. So noodles existed in both far before the 13th century.
