- The French Revolution in 1789 had a major impact on French society, as it meant the end of an era of absolute monarchy. Old ideas of hierarchy and power were replaced by new ones, including the emergence of the bourgeoisie. Of course, these social changed left its trails in the culinary world. As is shown in this episode, Paris was the birthplace of the first restaurants where the Nouveaux Riches wined and dined.

Wow this is like what the history channel use to play before it became a reality ghost hunter/ancient aliens channel.
I love the shade at the end of this doc. "Dining tables would bear the weight of abundance, quality would often be absent however." as they show illustrations of pre-packaged foods such as Dole. So funny.
the irish famine was manufactured mostly by the english. there was a potato famine but they wouldn't have been hit so hard if not for the english
Don't eat the French fish....
Fantastically insightful. Thank you.
It was "The king of cooks and the cook of kings" ( le roi des chefs et le chef des rois )
Our world today is so used to globalisation that the idea of a certain food being new to a city but common in another city in the same country (the tomatoes coming to Paris) is SO strange!
I doubt that the women sat with their elbows on the table that way.
Those last dishes had my mouth watering.
🤗My grandmother had a 🍅tomato garden. I miss her 🌹
I read somewhere Napoleon had very basic taste in food
all these actors have terrible table manners.
Great video👍
During the 15th and 16th centuries the French were influenced by the progressing culinary arts in Italy. Much of this happened because of Catherine de' Medici (a Florentine princess) Italian cooks were light years ahead of French culinary specialists.
Way to go minimizing the Great Famine (Irish Potato Famine) and British involvement. The absentee British landlords continued to export food from Ireland so Europe had no problems while the Irish starved.
A nicer end to this clip might have been the mentioning of the SACHER CAKE, Metternich had let created by Demel to celebrate the end of the famous Congress of Vienna. The BAVARIAN CREME instead of the BUTTER CREME was made fashionable this way. Yes the SACHER CAKE is indeed an example for your ending remark. After all the Napoleonic Wars had impoverised Europe.
Alcohol before the battle, sounds like a good time, where the weed at?
Yep no elbows on the table!! That would get a not so subtle correction
