- Today on Weird History food, we examine a most familiar food - PASTA!! Whether your first encounter was grandma's spaghetti, some spaghetti-o's from a can, or whatever the case may be, do you think you know pasta, really? Who invented it? What do records suggest? And exactly what is this magic made of?
#pasta #spaghetti #weirdhistoryfood
We were poor as shit growing up so I lived on buttered noodles, usually bow ties or shells. Little salt and pepper and that's one of my ultimate comfort foods 40 years later
Ah buttered noodles, hard to beat!
Nothing quite like buttered noodles. I agree wholeheartedly.
According to an April 1957 episode of BBC Panorama, spaghetti grows on trees and is harvested in both Italy and Switzerland.
You can find that on TH-cam, too. LOL
Still laugh at that video!
April 1st to be exact.
The funny thing is that tomatoes are from South America, and they didn't exist in Italy in Pre-Columbian times. Italian pasta was usually in a broth.
And the cream sauce pasta popular in modern Rome came along later, maybe 18th Century?
Don't forget about the spaghetti trees of Italy
Tomatoes came from the new world.
South Ameerica
You don't need tomatoes to make pasta
@@PatGunn Except they mention tomato sauce on pasta in the video and then they mention going to the new world.
Our seven year old granddaughter loves "Bacon Noodles", aka spaghetti carbonara.
Boiled wheat paste, not surprising it's common in a multitude of different cultures.
"I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0." - Sophia Loren. 😋❤️🍝🍾🍷
Easy to say when you’re hot
And thank God for that !
Aaaaaand how.
The fact that Grandma Sophia is still in the business while designers and clothing brands that criticized her are either dissolved or dead speak for itself.
Drink pasta and eat wine
Now I want Mac and cheese.
2:08 BBC viewers on 1 April 1957 were treated to a mini documentary showing a family in Southern Switzerland harvesting from their spaghetti trees.
Well done, well informed and well edited.
Fantastico.
My favorite pasta dish so far is a lobster/shrimp ravioli with a white wine cream sauce. The fancy ravioli is just an excuse to enjoy the white wine sauce, it's the star of the show!
Paired with a salad of spinach, avacado, grape tomatoes, cucumber and blue cheese dressing it is a dish I make from scratch so I can enjoy it 5 times at a fraction of the cost it would be at restaurants.
I love seafood ravioli - much more than I do just a scampi or something like that.
Just finished eating and the pasta is already making me hungry
Spahgetti & Meatballs and Chicken Alfredo are my favorite!
Right on time! Its 10.31 pm in my timezone and i always play your videos before bed. I love them so much!
Not sure how accurate this is, but it was fun to watch.
Well considering if you look up the history of pasta itself online all the articles that I found say pretty much the exact same things that this video said in regards to its histories and Origins so unless all the online articles are lying probably easier to just assume that they're telling the truth but who knows nowadays😅
I think Spatzle should have gotten a mention.
No! It's the principle We're going camping and we're NOT making Spatzle!
I certainly liked the original narrator; but you are definitely my second choice!!
Lol Barilla is not a spanish name
Send Noods.
I'm hungry.
DID YOU KNOW?: The three most popular pasta dishes are Spaghetti Bolognese, Macaroni and cheese, and Lasagna. 😋❤️🍝
How do I block commenters who flood comments sections on TH-cam
5:08 Twin films are "films with the same or similar plots produced and released at the same time by two different film studios." (wikipedia)
Immaculate and The First Omen are Twin Films, and they are awesome!
"Evidence of Etruscans making pasta dates back to 400 BCE.[3] The first concrete information on pasta products in Italy dates to the 13th or 14th centuries.[13] In the 1st century AD[dubious - discuss] writings of Horace, lagana (sg.: laganum) were fine sheets of fried dough[14] and were an everyday foodstuff.[15] Writing in the 2nd century, Athenaeus of Naucratis provides a recipe for lagana which he attributes to the 1st century Chrysippus of Tyana: sheets of dough made of wheat flour and the juice of crushed lettuce, then flavored with spices and deep-fried in oil.[15] An early 5th century cookbook describes a dish called lagana that consisted of layers of dough with meat stuffing, an ancestor of modern-day lasagna.[15] However, the method of cooking these sheets of dough does not correspond to the modern definition of either a fresh or dry pasta product, which only had similar basic ingredients and perhaps the shape."

Thanks for this! 🍝 As a quarter Sicilian, I'm all about the pasta.
"If you can boil water, you can make pasta!"
Great to see I'm a dismal failure with the very first fact.
Except that it should be "If you can boil water, you can *cook* pasta" -- actually _making_ pasta is more complicated.
Capellini is my favorite type of spaghetti
Yeah, if you go to Italy, don't choose Dry Pasta. Go to a local Restaurant where they make their own fresh pasta. You'll love it!
I've been told you'll never find one around tourist areas. You need to leave the main streets for the hole in the wall where locals and civil servants gather, but you will get to eat the best pasta dish ever made by mankind if you do find one.
"Pasta doesn't make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat." - Giada De Laurentiis. 😋❤️🍝
Indeed fat people are rare in italy compared to any other country. There are also in Italy fastfood restaurants where tourists are only
white pasta also is horrible for some with Diabetes. It always spikes my bloodsugar.
1:15 I have had an outrageous amount of Barilla pasta over the years!
I have probably had it between 200-500 times!
Can werid history food do cornbread please
Growing up, my younger sister wouldn't eat much more than spaghettios all the time.
You mentioned noodles from China, but nothing beyond that! Will there be a video about noodles?? 🙏🙏
Dont wanna be 'That Guy', but wouldnt Macaroni Elbows be more widely known for Mac n cheese? Rather than shells. (I mean shells are fine, but elbows were the OG).🤔
I like orzo & cous cous
I weighed 110 lbs before I watched this video. Now I weigh 114 lbs. I better go for a run.
Video title: pasta originated everywhere at once.
Video: except evidence points to China first
good video
Italian names pronunciation is not simple. Many Italians ears exploded while watching this beautiful video 😂
Italians are excitable…
Well, this vid made me go make a bowl of spaghetti.
I loved pasta so much that I got cirrhosis from it without the assistance of booze.
So sad for you; if you are going to get it, at least you could have gotten plastered once or twice!!
@@kevinschmidt5881 🤣🤣 I did enjoy the spaghetti and garlic toast though. To be honest the idea of being out of control never appealed to me. Just a flaw in my character I suppose. 😊
My brother ended up getting a fatty liver simply from the amount of soda he's consumed his whole life he's had maybe three shots of alcohol his entire life.
Its gotta be goulash, with extra cottage cheese
Meatballs are also ubiquitous around the world. Someone should make a restaurant called "World of Meatballs"
damn. now I need to go cool myself some pasta
I like cooking pasta dishes, but I've gotten over the taste. Since i cook them all the time for my family. I just eat the meatballs or chicken Parmesan at Italian restaurants now.
Gotta do rice next
My favorite pasta is angel hair pasta witch is used for spaghetti I think it’s the best pasta in the world
History of Rice Balls, please
The origins of pasta are known. You see, they came from
Want to trigger an Italian?
Tell them pasta was invented in China.
My fav. is basically any and all. I'm 68 and have yet found a pasta I didn't like! Female 6ft size 8.
Pasta!!!🎉
I never had a fake ID, lady.
9:27 The double L is pronounced as a hard L in Italian, not like a Y as in Spanish (which is how the narrator pronounced it).
Lady and the Tramp came out in 1955, not 1995.
That's a spiceya meataballa...
I guess when you have one food in hundreds of shapes and every variety of every shape is given its own name, you're going to start getting desperate when possible names start to run out.
Another weird pasta name...
Orecchiette
(Means "little ear".)
Everyone knows that the Pastafarians invented this.
I see small servings of various pasta on a plate in this video. Frankly, I eat at least less than 250 mg of spaghetti or carbonara
3:46 *Etruscans*
"You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling." - Agnes Varda. 😋❤️🍝
What about ramen or soba noodles, and all the Asian forms of pasta that’s been around forever?
There are videos on ramen - mostly on the instant product.
For the rest, Wikipedia has good articles on soba and ramen.
They mention in the video that the first country to invent pasta was probably China.
Pasta comes from Pastafaria.
pasta was invented in china but some other say pasta was invented in italy is its just a coincidence
6:37 For Youth Group fundraisers for our church (United Church of Christ) in Burwell, we would sell tickets for Spaghetti and Meatball dinners.
They were a hit and looked similar to that picture!
Nothing beats penne
You mean the ETRUSCANS? Which is pronounced "eh-TRUS-kenz"
What’s the difference between pasta and noodles just the name or something else? Italian pasta and Japanese noodles for example what is it?
One uses wheat flour the other uses rice flour. I'll let you guess which is which. LOL 🤔
What do I think? I think I’m hungry. I’m not gluten free but my wife is so real pasta is quite a treat!
Angel hair with pizza sauce. No meat. No cheese. Just straight goodness.
It would be a whole hell of a lot better with meat AND cheese. And a different sauce.
@@MatthewTheWanderer
But, then it wouldn't be my favourite pasta dish now would it?! 🤪
@@BarbaraBylow Um...
Did you just say "VersItAlity"?
5:08 The arcade game Asteriods was released in 1979 (my birth year).
In 1998, the year I graduated high school, we were gifted two asteroids movies!
0:45 I do prefer a definition that doesn't include sperm
"Once you've cooked pasta properly for the first time it becomes second nature." - Gordon Ramsay. 😋❤️🍝
Hearing Americans call any kind of pasta “noodles” is still so jarring ahaha
All the information about pasta is taught in culinary school to everyone regardless of what they are there which type of cooking is taught to them.
Not all knowledge is culinary schools is taught in the galley or Kitchen. 😡🤬
Marco Pollo brought spaghetti back from China. 😏
Actually....Marco Polo most likely never went to China. The entire journey is a myth.
Yup it's the Arab nomads using the silk road.
His story was embellished, but he did travel there for his family business.
@@Mehenstein Embellished? Well...there are differing accounts. One account says he was in a Venetian jail during the time he claimed to have made the journey.
The Chinese were meticulous record keepers, yet no record of his visit exists.
He made it up to sell a book.
2:13 That Mikey Pasta is as slippery as a noodle...
sounds a tad sus to me
Let's hear your version of the history of pasta.
I am so hungry lmao
You should do a weird history food video on the human centipede for Halloween.
NO!
8:32 On the movie Immaculate, there is a scene that relates to "priest strangler"...I don't want to mention any more because it will spoil it!
You won't forget the scene!
I wish all definitions had the words sperm and moist. Plus the best pasta are the ones shaped like ninja turtles.
Assuming that you you're female; you sound like my kinda gal!!!
"Reciting quotes about pasta is a sure fire way to gain likes" -Real Human.
5000 years ago china invent the noodles. Then Marco polo take some back to Italy and they rename it spaghetti. (They call me bruce)
Nah China made them using rice flour, Italy made them with wheat, not the same
@@careottjuiceExcept China also makes noodles with wheat often, as well as with other grains
@@careottjuice i love how confident you are for being so wrong lol
Yum
8:10 The Dell Dude's Italian cousin would say "Dude, you're getting a pappardelle!
0:05 Spaghetti and meatballs is a significant food for the movie Five Nights at Freddy's.
First off, the fresh versus dried pasta. Historically there was pasta maker in Italy that would door knock or you would book to make dried pasta for you. They would come to your house and you would supply the ingredients and you would pay them to turn it into pasta in bulk for cellar. So you completely dont understand the history of pasta in italy other then some ancient writing and not how the pasta culture in italy worked
They found pasta aka lasagna type dishes is mention ancient Egypt & Babylonians text. As for the claim of china as the origin both ancient Europe and Asia have been trading and trade with each other and the ancient Chinese paddle boat was found to be first created by Babylonian. (this was after the Mongolian empire collapsed and the last son from a Chinese concubine died leaving no children. in the new Mongolian capital of Beijing (the same person china claim all the achievements of Mongolian empire as their own)
Spaghetti and meatballs is not Italian but Greek origin and it Italian heritage comes from the trading / fishing ports/towns.
The Pasta Bible is an awesome cookbook!
It has a large section about the different types of pasta and how they are created.
❤
My favorit pasta dish: tortellini gorgonzola. I love it so much. So I had master that dish. 🤤
by time I learned other ways to make variants from that dish. 🤔🤯
I am from Denmark and can make a Tortellini Dana blue. 🤤
Same dish just with a Danish Dana blue cheese. 🥳
And here is an bonus: Tortellini blue castello. 🤤
again Same dish just with a Danish blue castello cheese.🥳
And I enjoy them all, thick and creamy. 🤤
The voice is annoying Skip
"Life is a combination of magic and pasta." - Federico Fellini. 😋❤️🍝
A huge glaring error. Romans ate pasta. There's evidence of it. Do better research.
There's evidence suggesting the Romans also created the first form of hamburgers and flatbread pizzas. Apparently, there's nothing that is made nowadays it's truly authentic. Everything is just a copy of what the Romans did😂
they also ate snails or the french did?.. also roman soldiers were given specific food rations and then encouraged to avoid certain foods(covered in another wh video)
0:36 Just a little over an hour ago I picked up the book Encyclopedia Brown Solves Them All by Donald J. Sobol.
I read A LOT of Encyclopedia Brown books while I was in Burwell Elementary School!
I snagged it from a Little Library that was just put up the other day!
BCE? CE?
adios ...
I’m not a big fan of this food
Wrong narrator voice...
@@robertmiller2367 oh my god, you’re a loser. All you do is comment this on this channel lmao
A namesmith would be very useful for naming TH-cam channels, and also for re-naming TH-cam channels.
Some of the names I have seen for TH-cam channels are the worst names I have ever seen in anything.
