    I AM SO HAPPY THIS IS BACK! I was so worried it wouldn’t be renewed for another season but it’s great to see new episodes 🤩🤩🤩

    I love to see Sohla argue French fries aren't French based on the same logic that got them called French fries in the first place: they're called French fries in America because WWI soldiers ate them in the French speaking parts of Belgium/during a time when military higher ups were expected to speak French.

    The type of fries popular in NL are Belgian style frites, and most of the touristy spots in Belgium outside Brussels… Speak Dutch.

    Belgians are generally very proud of inventing the French Fry! Part of Belgium speaks Flemish, which is a variation on Dutch. (The other part Walloon region speaks a variation on French.) Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands. Flemish-speaking Belgians do not consider themselves Dutch. However, to an English-speaker, their language might sound Dutch & their Belgian neighbor's language could certainly sound French. …Maybe a Walloon Belgian introduced English-speakers to French Fries then?

    We really need a separate channel for Ancient Recipes, I only want to watch this so I don't sub cuz I don't need the other videos to clog up my sub page, and I didn't even know about this new season, sigh…

    @15:25 French fries? It's right in the name! 🙂 Reminds of that John Cusack movie, "Better off Dead" where the mom cooks a "french" meal of french fries, french dressing, and french bread.

    I'm disappointed that I can't subscribe to Ancient recipes without getting my feed flooded with Ancient Aliens.

    History Channel can't fly Sohla out to Japan to take this class? 😉 This looked so fun, and even the ones made on camera had a certain charm.

    So many things we have were invented in Belgium but commonly believed to be from another country that it's an ongoing joke that Belgium never gets recognised for anything.

    This is a wonderful video! The archeology/history of food is something I have not seen before and I am amazed! How delightful that Sohla actually prepared the recipes so we may follow and experiment! ⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐

    This series has been my current obsession, and I will talk to anyone and everyone about. I love her content; Mixing cooking and history, my two fave things!
