Making the 2000 Year Old "Pizza" from Pompeii

pizza is just pita with a lizzp

Bro babbling on about Babbel.... interesting. (BTW nice video)

Great music, too

I love how you have a pokemon plushie in the background

Actually cracking up at the trigger warning for the video sans beard

I'm definitely voting for the baker ngl

And what you thinks the pineapple is corbezzelo

But I’m still pretty excited to see early version of pizza form over 2000 years ago

I know this is a year old. But I love your channel. Much love from Australia. Keep doing what you’re doing

The Golden Ass was actually one of the world’s (at least in the west?) first novels. Not a poem :)

Your finished bread with all the fixings looked like a still life by a master artist. Stunning! But maybe Roman garlic was smaller? My cat and spouse would ban me to the sofa!😵‍💫

Mentza or Menza is not a table in romao, it means table setting . I'm Romano , trust me. I heard it coming out of my mother's mouth for 10 years. " Nichola metti la mentza" " si ma".

Looks like the roman invented Döner kebab and sahwarma

nono, you're supposed to eat people in Mensa for being obnoxious elitists

Reminds me more of the german breakfasts bread with toppings then pizza to be honest.

...

thank you for the rue warning for pregnant women, not everyone would think of that

American motto came from a pizza recipe. Very African 😂

Congratulations! I'm spanish but I am watching this video right now and I understand many of the words you say .The history of the roman ancient pizza is amazing ,and the scientcists too , if I were scientcist I couldn't dream that the ingredientes that the pizza has! Greetings from Spain to USA from a spaniard that remains to write this message with the best form of the language .Sorry if the text could have any errors😅

Qué canal tan interesante, ameno e instructivo. Gracias por los subtítulos 👏👏👏👏

its crazy how good you are at pronunciations from other languages

Pompeii. My familial name comes from an inland village near there. Probably had family die in that event.

Its interesting to know that some of the current top world leaders were actually survivors of the eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Trump, for instance, was preserved in volcanic ash for 2000 years until he awoke to find the real Trump when he was around 25. That is why the current Donald Trump was so different compared to the Trump of age 24. He brought the Roman militaristic behavior to the modern age.

The "moretum" poem got me wheezing because in my head it sounded like a roman version of "mom's spaghetti"😂

I wonder if he is single…

AYO THE PHALUS PHILLIS DEEP CUT REFERENCE LOL

Italian Elitists are probably in shambles now after finding out their ancestors always put fruit on their pizza bread.

It's wild to consider that the world existed without tomatoes for so long... that even after the discovery of tomatoes in the "new world," people in Europe grow them as decorative but not for food... worried about poisoning.

the chicken vendors request you like the video, and subscribe

Hello, I want to ask something, I would be very happy if someone could help!
But pls, don't laugh at me :D
Since we were in italy (Naples) we try to figure out, why the pizza does it taste different (just the dough). We ate in a simple, small pizzeria in Bagnoli, not in a famous, popular restaurant, nothing like that. We ordered a marinara with mushrooms, and another one with ricotta. Everything was good, (the taste of the ricotta was awesome) BUT the most shocking thing was the dough. It was a little bit yeasty taste, but totally different, what we ate anywhere else. And we don't really know why.
I asked about this in many places,people mostly laugh at me, or say "oh, it's taste different, because you were in a vacation....or he has been doing this all his life, that's why this better than yours ...etc".
So we started to test it....

Firstly, we thought maybe the ingredients, like yeast, flour or salt. We bought the same brands, tried it, but we missed that specific flavor. (with caputo, there was a little bit in it, but not that much).
Next time, we tried a longer poolish (not just 3 hour, it was maybe 40+ or 72 h., but we still miss that flavor.

The only thing, what we can't change, the water. And because it's a really big part of the recipe, Maybe that's the "secret" ingredient?
We heard a lot about how different the soil due to the proximity of the volcano and the sea...maybe the water different too? Maybe there are more minerals, so when you poolish, mabye effect the dough more?
(we checked the official data about Neapolitan water, nothing special compared to other European cities - officially)
But, as the waster taste different in my city and another cities, maybe there is something about that....

Has anyone tried to make pizza with italian water vs. another county's water? Or someone can anything about this theory?

As a Neapolitan, thank you for this video.

For the pizza dough, however, use very little yeast and keep the dough hydrated when growing.

For the ingredients, I think that garlic was way smaller then than today is.

Yeah. Just dump all the pomegranates and fruits on it. If the things were shown together in a picture to show opulence - they definitely ate them together. So nice to get pomegranate, garlic, cheese and bread in one bite.

I like strong garlic flavors ❤some people have a sensitive palate yet with eating pungent things often one can be accustomed to it and the stomach becomes stronger. Ancient people had strong stomachs and bold tastes that were considered luxuries and garlic and herbs were cure alls for many ailments . Romans used strong amounts of herbs for Devine abundant health and mental intelligence

The Babbel plug was pretty smooth. First time im sitting through an ad on one of your videos ✅

Are you saying "e pluribus unum" comes from a cheese recipe? Because that would be the best piece of trivia I've learned in 10 years. lol

i find it hard to believe, so garlicy and the vase of fermented fish, something feels a bit off about the about the history

You are an absolute delight! So happy to have found this channel.

When you blend garlic it becomes bitter, when you crush it with a m&p, or chop, it makes it sweet but takes longer. That will make a huge difference.

It's also amazing that the color of our dollar bills is neither green or white but come together as one color.

Also that phrase is used to describe our 13 colonies. But i also can hear it talk about the different color of races living/coming together as one nation.

This Pompizza is a literal Explosion of Flavor!

Please tell me that you did not miss the double entendre potential of someone recommending a politician because he gives good bread.

I love the channel and everything I am learning.
This is a bit random but you sound like one of the Latin voices of Duolingo :')

So in addition to "Roman Breath" because of the garum, now we got "Pompeii Breath" because of the garlic.
Can I just get a shrimp cocktail, pease?

Idea: Moretum using black garlic.

How is mixing dough automated 2000 years ago, I need to see this!

Kummerspeck can actually mean several things

It can refer to the weight gained from the emotional eating, but it can also refer to the act of emotional eating, or the food eaten when emotionally eating. The result, the verb, and the noun
