Interesting fact about the Macaron it is not French. It is originally from Italy. It was believed it was brought over in 1533 by Catherine de’ Medici’s Italian pastry chefs during her marriage to Henry II of France. #Macaron #food #foodhistory #history

@Aviation_Librarian OK, I'll ask: What are/were "Richelieu potatoes"?
I tried multiple web search sites, and just got mentions of them on old menus. When in frustration I finally tried go*gle, I got multiple contradictory AI answers. So... "ask a librarian" (or anyone else who might know).

Heute wird in #Luzern der diesjährige Tag der #TagDerSchweizerMilch begangen, und selbst dazu haben wir im #Heftarchiv einen passenden Lektüretipp gefunden:

On my medieval food research, I have found an article which talks about almond milk and almond oil with cookbooks that date back to 10th century Baghdad. This coupled with how Almonds entered China in the Tang makes me wonder if any would have consumed it since almonds never gained popularity in China.
Here's a good article on almond milk's Arabic history: https://www.middleeastvegansociety.org/blog/the-historical-and-culinary-journey-of-almond-milk-and-oil-in-medieval-arab-cuisine#:~:text=Egyptian%20cookbooks%20from%20the%2014th,in%20about%20a%20dozen%20recipes.&text=Sweet%20and%20bitter%20almond%20oils,both%20Greek%20and%20Islamic%20medicine.
S'mores are a staple of North American childhoods (and there are more than a few grownups who'll pop a marshmallow on a skewer every once in a while). Here, @NationalGeographic takes a look at their real history, which dates back to 1923, and a British Girl Guide leader with a ridiculously appropriate nickname.

The role of #peacecongresses in these processes of exchange was tackled twice: @LenaOetzel focused on the congress of #Westphalia, while Michael Brauer from Salzburg University looked at the congress of Vienna (1815).
Lena argued that the peace congress didn’t function as a special hub for the exchange of goods between the Austrian and the Spanish Habsburgs; they had their permanent ambassadors at the courts that dealt with this kind of exchange. But nonetheless the peace congress was a place of exchange, especially of food. For the Imperial estates the congress offered an unusual opportunity to get into contact to the greater European powers. Among others there did this by offering gifts, especially food. The count of Oldenburg e.g. gave away huge amounts of meat and fish and other delicacies in order to enhance his interests. (5/7)

The trouble with maps like this is the tendency to oversimplify. Yet, it provides a basic overview and framework for exploring what you think should be added. #CanadianCuisine #foodhistory #foodstudies From @TasteAtlas
I'm nearly finished (at last) my next video, so now seems like a good idea to tell you about my last one! I think youtube wasn't happy about the amount of dick I talked about in it, but at least you can't demonetise a video on a channel that isn't monetised yet, right?
What did we eat in the olden days? Here in this #surffeeds
I share one of my hobbies learning about what our ancestors ate and how it affected cultures.

Auf geht's ins Deutsche #Bienenmuseum #Weimar.
Dort werden wir heute im Rahmen des Lehrprojekts "The Taste of History" verschiedene #Honigrezepte aus dem #Mittelalter nach weitgehend originaler Zubereitungsart ausprobieren. Ich bin schon gespannt, was funktionieren wird.
