Video Description

Until the late 1800s, there was no such thing as the standard daily three-meal schedule, and few on the planet began their day with what we'd now call breakfast. And yet- every element that we now take for granted, from bacon and eggs to oatmeal, congee, and coffee- all of them have their own fascinating stories as to how they entered our collective culture and how they ultimately became the linchpins of the "most important meal of the day". In this video we're tracing the history of the morning meal, exploring the signature dishes and diving into how different cultures throughout history have approached the idea and food of breakfast. - Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - 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 - 0:00 - Introduction 1:12 - The Most Important Meal 4:40 - Community 6:26 - The World's First Breakfast 8:15 - Ful, Falafel, and Bread 11:54 - Breakfast Foods Take Shape 14:35 - Eggs 17:14 - A Tamil Breakfast 21:41 - Greeks, Romans, and How We Get Our Words 26:52 - A Trip Around the Old World 29:06 - Coffee 30:08 - The Ethiopian Ceremony 33:56 - Cafes and Catholicism 35:55 - Morning in The Americas 39:58 - The Aztec Specialty 42:05 - 18th Century Breakfasts 43:48 - The Spy 46:19 - Colonies and the Industrial Revolution 50:08 - A Breakfast Crawl 52:26 - Madison Avenue Mornings 56:24 - Diner 1:00:00 - Credits and Post-Credits - Video Credits: https://youtu.be/aRRS_56FTYg?si=aGAaRYNUkyKPmNBP https://youtu.be/Feu-DN-UleE?si=89_XcK6LtDnv7exs https://youtu.be/i7E2E-MTUPM?si=qcg6x1jb_rJzr-H- https://youtu.be/jJM1NmEm8Pk?si=3TVQyM8fT82sxMnW https://youtu.be/V_M3Jw3zoPY?si=d029LhPaGCqfbGqb https://youtu.be/R5_pP_A9xx4?si=wloatNfqVGS_x4xs https://youtu.be/-6Wu0Q7x5D0?si=vuw8HP6EBiHqsheC https://youtu.be/-SDGh2hJplU?si=-ew6akrXbpOg44_c https://youtu.be/8SS14S7vLdg?si=5Tq81oP3p7fyjhB- https://youtu.be/vVOCh1aLumU?si=zElPVBiziTkPTgJb https://youtu.be/GylVIyK6voU?si=R-YkiuzLGYETycsH https://youtu.be/NeB_krB7sbU?si=gn79J3arCeSYRtCd https://youtu.be/ELmaiW7LteA?si=NVLDjhjP0986Sp_3 https://youtu.be/Ydiz1Hzfx5s?si=4OD1kpVaoTEIXa2q https://youtu.be/964CtRXJVck?si=mvkNMCwMNguoPzTz https://youtu.be/0ftTzHE6jXo?si=tqPhzz2yF9ojIfdw
