Thank you soooo much for watching! 🔮✨ As you can see, this video was a massive undertaking, and I'm so pleased with how everything came together. Ancient Greek food is super delicious! Which historical food multiverse do you want to see me take the Thyme Machine to next?
Maybe it was the iron in the liver? I was iron deficient and the first time I took an iron supplement I felt great and had so much more energy than I was used to
These videos are so cool😊❤
A polite reminder that organ meat is commonly eaten in many, many parts of the worlds so calling it disgusting, regardless of your own enjoyment of it, maybe isn't the most respectful.
Your channel is awesome and I'm so happy to have so many new interesting videos to watch lol
Night 5 dinner….. yogurt with honey or a honey balsamic sauce would be a great addition!
I was just curious, barley and rye are one of 3 main sources of gluten. Is it because it’s lower in gluten and you have an intolerance? I know some ancient grains like Spelt are very low in gluten but unsafe for Celiac. (I saw in a previous video you were looking for wheat alternatives and mentioned gluten**)
The fact that the dinner after the one that nearly made her cry was the one that was meh is hilarious timing.
Hi V-Birchwood, my Mother used to cook a very great dish, few years after she died a dear friend cooked the same meal, as soon as i put it in my mouth tears came out of my eyes. I love your videos by the way. You are Great 👍
I am a professional video editor with 8 years of experience and I think your are doing a great job! These videos are really good! Subscribed 🙂
Stuffed grape leaves wow I thought it was an Arab thing only that began in Mésopotamia. But this recipe is diff so I believe they r independent of each other
I knew u were turkic love from a Palestinian Arab ( that's Levantine Arab) also love Greek culture I came here to steal some of Greek ppls food 😂❤
A lot of hard to find ingredients can be found on Amazon like barley flour.
11:33 when it comes to chickpeas, pressure cookers are an absolute lifesaver
No barley flour, buy barley and grind it down.
After traveling for 24 hours to get to Japan from North Carolina, I cried over an egg sando from 7/11.
I wanted to see you eat it 😢😂
Do you serve the cabbage salads warm or cold?
So naturally gorgeous omg.
Educational, interesting, magical, and fun! Please keep it up!
This is amazing, lots of dishes would have been cooked in clay pots, no? But every dish you’ve tackled sounds delicious! Spent a week on Ithaka Island trying to picture Penelope and Ulysses living simply
awesome food creativity
You are so lovely in your historical fashion!!
The barely flour would have been wholemeal and the grain a bit like einkorn or even modern oats. Certainly not a high gluten like modern wheat. I have made bread that Roman soldiers ate from einkorn and it was very good. Quite unlike modern bread and had honey as one of its ingredients.
You should spray oil on your knife before cutting onion, it will stop the sore eyes 😊
