It becomes even more fascinating when you realize that making bronze is horribly complex when it comes to the materials and required a very robust trade system to even make. Its speculated as to why the bronze age was so notable to begin with - massive amounts of trade so people could get bronze to make weapons and likewise, and thus creating the many empires associated with it (at least one possibility/reason). Its a whole lot like how rare earth minerals and electronics are so important to global trade today, as well as oil and the associated plastics all of which are found in large quantities in only select regions of the world at high enough levels to make it cheap enough to use and build a society out of. The history of art, food, and trade is basically the true history of the world in my opinion - everything else is either a reflection of it or reflected by it.

Just in case it wasn't mentioned already. Sorrel is not bitter. It is, instead, rather tart, depending on where and when it is collected - might even be overwhelmingly so. So if you want to swing somewhat closer to the original, but still can't find sorrel itself, i would suggest substituting it with a mix of spinach(for texture and basic taste) and lemongrass(for freshness and tartness). Might work better, or at least pleasantly differently :)

Tomatoes really vary in taste. The flavor difference seems to be tied to the acidity of the soil and in some cases, the fertilizer used. I worked on a hydroponic tomato farm years ago and the liquid fertilizer we mixed had sulfuric acid in the recipe and the flavor of those tomatoes was so much better than any other store bought tomato I had tried. The soil in our gardens may provide more acidity than most greenhouse tomatoes, the flavor will always tell the story.

Variety also makes a difference - most modern supermarket tomatoes are bland because they've been bred for ease of transport rather than flavour.

In North America, you can probably use wood sorrel in its place (the stuff you see growing as a weed that looks kinda like clover with small yellow flowers).

In Europe you do not have to be afraid of raw eggs, bad eggs are rare. You could have covered your frying pan with the lid, that would make sure the entire tomato reached a high temperature, do not close it off but give it some ventilation, or use a lid with a small opening in it so steam can escape. You can use the same recipe and add boiled rice to fill a red pepper.

I made this recipe tonight. I had to do some substitutions, but it came out really well. I used large tomatoes from the farmer's market, so instead of stuffing them from the top, I cut in half and stuffed each side (each half made a serving). I used fresh mozzarella, diced ham, asiago, flat-leafed parsley, chives, basil, arugula, and thyme. I did not pan-fry the top of the tomatoes due to having to stuff each half and they also took longer in the oven...maybe 25 minutes. Very light and refreshing. Would be excellent with steak and salad. We served it with spaghetti. Thanks for the wonderful video and recipe!

I just discovered this channel and love it! Just watched the “pizza” video and was like, who the heck is this!? OMG it’s the same guy without the beard. 😳😅 Yeah definitely keep the beard babe.

Mom made a version similar to stuffed peppers with ground pork and lamb mixed with rice, basil, oregano and cheese (some other spices or herbs too, but I was a kid and didn't notice). It was baked and then broiled at the end with some ricotta on top. She just called them 'Tuscany Tomatoes'. We were German-Swedish but got to try all cuisines.

The USDA used the Supreme Court ruling on tomatoes being a vegetable to classify ketchup as a vegetable in the National School Lunch Program.

the tomato and the potato are probably some of the worst vegetables nutritionally, but fries and ketchup is better for you than not having any vegetables at all. if only marginally so...

Hi, loved the recipe and the fact that it is still a common one in Italy, with slightly few changes. But I wanted to point out a detail about the ham broth because at first it seemed odd to me that it implied such a strange ingredient. So I read the original recipe and the word for ham broth is "Colì di prosciutto" The real meaning of "colì di prosciutto" might have been mistaken in the translation, because colì is not a broth, more like the juices and the sauces that you have at the end of the ham's cooking. I think it might have drizzled on top of the tomatoes like a sauce. I apologize in advance for my english, if there are some mistakes. Btw love your videos and the re-discovery that you give to this ancient recipes

My god, that sounds good.

My grandmother emigrated from Finland in 1907. Through circumstances she missed her boat in England and had to take another that took her to Canada instead. It was summer and she spoke no English (all her English speaking friend had gotten the fist boat) and Canadian were meeting the cross country train selling and selling fresh fruit and vegetables to the passengers. People started offering her tomatoes. She though they were rotten apples and refused them. The only word she knew that translated into English was Salad so that is what she ate crossing Canada. Apparently tomatoes had not made it to the Finnish countryside where she had lived.

I love all of the Tasting History episodes I've watched. Max has an adventurous spirit and a palette that allows us to experience these historic foods. I cant believe that I'm the only one that finds the little guy on the far right in the last picture of the opening to be quite creepy!!

Really loved the note on the etymology of "tomato" and the Italian "pomodoro" in today's episode. If I can add one more, from learning Hungarian, I can tell you that their word for tomato is "paradicsom," meaning "paradise," as well as being shorthand for "paradicsom almája," meaning "Apple of Paradise."
