History of Curing Meat

It’s almost like magic. Whether we know it or not, chemical processes are happening all around us. While we usually thinking of cooking at the primary process that drives our food consumption, there are other factors at play. What does a war-hungry Roman Senator have to do with it all? More than you’d suspect.

Man I just wanted to know how people made bacon and it somehow transitioned to the assassination of Julius Caesar

Wow this is a really informative video. Not quite "the history of curing" but that bit about Cato writing stuff down will stick with me.

And a perfect example on how new things aren't always better, refrigeration, 80% more infrastructure at a fraction of preservation length.
Not to mention the drastic loss of taste

This was the first video I watched for this channel. I really liked this video so much I wanted to watch more. It took me a second to realise the channel has less than 10k subscribers! This is crazy. Underrated channel. Maybe they should improve thumbnails or get a more American style editing. I’m not sure why this channel isn’t getting much attention. Probably why they stopped making yt videos. I feel real sorry for them. Definitely deserve my sub and I will continue to watch some of their videos, to find any secrets that nobodies knows. (Much love from CA)

Curing venison comes from the Paleolithic prehistoric China Scotland in America...very comon...and more simple than this history lol. Js.... far older than 20, 000 years

Why does everything on YouTube have to be so sickly cute.
