The Epic Story of Rice: Gods, Conquests, and a Food Trip Through History
OTR Food & History
@otrontheroadAbout
The story of food is the story of people. And our mission on OTR is to document the dishes, recipes, and chefs that push boundaries, preserve old traditions, and most of all, deserve to be recorded. From our home in Bangkok, OTR is following the road wherever it leads, as we unwind the stories of what today is called "cuisine"- because when it comes to food, our shared history unfolds on every single plate.

If the story of food is the story of people, then the story of rice is the story of food. From the first agricultural "big bang" to the present day, following the path of this simple grass leads to the founding of cities, the construction of empires and the creation of the dishes that would become culinary icons. And it also leads to myths and legends, wars and rebellions and even musical battles. Every culture that cultivates rice has its own origin story, so today our mission is to find the truth, trace its spread and learn the roots of some of history's greatest dishes- and try them, too. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going. http://www.patreon.com/OTRontheroad Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offtherails/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D FB: https://www.facebook.com/OTR-106170292218693 - 0:00 - Introduction 1:18 - The World's Most Important Plant 4:56 - The Breakthrough 6:58 - India and China 10:32 - The First Rice Recipe 13:37 - Kheer, Sushi, and Rice Noodles 15:08 - Hanom Cin 16:56 - Mohinga 18:45 - Origin Myths 22:47 - Rice at the Market 25:08 - Cooking with Rice 29:12 - Rice Moves West 32:16 - The National Dish of Jordan 35:42 - The Other Breakthrough 40:44 - Making Fufu 43:37 - Nigerian Lunch 45:52 - Across the Atlantic 49:05 - Thomas Jefferson's Obsession 53:29 - Jambalaya and Gumbo 55:57 - The Vietnam War 57:51 - Conclusion 59:43 - Credits and Post-Credits - YouTube Credits: https://youtu.be/eHsCLKaBDYM?si=-71ReuunF1A0Z6hk https://youtu.be/7YgQKuAdJ0g?si=0uNUzMCk8EbGundC https://youtu.be/J_mMS3EkHok?si=wfTsmOIz2BL-PEu3 https://youtu.be/V6fREh0m6gM?si=vM6R_BcWoFT5xZWp https://youtu.be/5BJv_6t2Q4k?si=Idrwv8md03yoWEZ9 https://youtu.be/gChx5jEnmh8?si=mft4PQ3lWri0g8Z8 https://youtu.be/pXW5Oq3spEE?si=RFV_zrD2eE33zN5g https://youtu.be/oXQm2Tgpebg?si=pa-odTMlGcDaYO5n https://youtu.be/5w8h2Pysulw?si=jgax792XVdHemD2Y https://youtu.be/yKOjcBIcz6w?si=AL_7a1D0sehxID_w https://youtu.be/JqAQywnhvCA?si=pOD9aMiU4LrexzKA https://youtu.be/_rmxa_6f8HE?si=eYr3o09FJp891iqB https://youtu.be/7LqAJoD-PpA?si=yCNy-NwBHgFOIJ6w https://youtu.be/Eg8Wv_HMtLM?si=E__MKwVV-4PX5poK https://youtu.be/7xAzLyzd2h8?si=pzBcxqzd6A6LoLvf https://youtu.be/g5Qq_w7hLR8?si=YVgmjQmaXPEERThi https://youtu.be/mzpiPtks_Lc?si=oeyEAh8Z56Tfm18h https://youtu.be/pqbfbFXkTHE?si=G7tq8EF5gPKcw6Pv https://youtu.be/dqA5qr2MGRU?si=XxpG1SBprXsSLpaQ https://youtu.be/-HQgjAe3bEM?si=QrLAnlu_bpUDXFWZ https://youtu.be/56_Nm2ly2pg?si=zFbC_GJ0sV2HP5mD https://youtu.be/8RqW6WwNEkQ?si=rz9VURfYIWwaoOGI https://youtu.be/LcXbR5LAouw?si=n0yjFInyNJpnF8j- https://youtu.be/F9Gxlb-zN7A?si=gDFeHrjLndR-J5mK https://youtu.be/c8SlDdzv1Tc?si=pwFwA3nqA4uwr36b https://youtu.be/3x_3_BctV_0?si=6Uwpndjq4r0hlW-g https://youtu.be/yUSywfEti7U?si=kmkJQm5jDZzczIhy https://youtu.be/vpQs03CFZUo?si=uVQV2efsGoPLHS5J https://youtu.be/DCJKyKjH1kg?si=ywQGxNzzJSoCSnPK https://youtu.be/ekk9SXE6oWc?si=dQu0F5enjEmhN6Vt https://youtu.be/qJUMeMu07Ic?si=ptySigu93fPXcFAB https://youtu.be/og6bi3cgf5g?si=5PjLYYJvTLp6hX3v https://youtu.be/voKDPqRVDxQ?si=vuV91sc2hqoI-AmN https://youtu.be/kT1R7Hkps5M?si=EecuFCgiiE7Y7r8m https://youtu.be/6AL61z1zOLc?si=WDdX5gVMJbFS-vIv https://youtu.be/CfxEcHExiVY?si=o4KSgzbluHmJpoS2 https://youtu.be/Z6IQ7VTJInM?si=AnjmXbSRTrUo7s_z
