You're going to have to plan things. You're going to have to use some processed ingredients. So that some of this is just a question of shopping more than of actual cooking. But it's also something where people perceive cooking as more difficult. And then who are you cooking for? I think we all lament the fact that families don't eat together as much as they used to.

You know, the teenagers get their own meal and then the parents kind of graze on Other stuff and there's, you know, maybe a big deal is made of having dinner together on Sunday night or one time a week. So that also discourages things like pot roast for sure.

Or it's just entertainment. You know, the key moment of cooking shows is success was not so much the foundation of the food network and, you know, making it 24 seven, but getting away from the instruction model or let's say segmenting the instruction model off into videos, uh, and making the actual programming entertainment.

So, uh, the thing about that is that then it was watched by men and by kids who were not necessarily interested in how to. but simply kind of, you know, they're watching it like they might be watching wrestling or sports.

I'd say vastly different. And that surprised me. Partly because there was more game available. There were more species of fish available. People liked organ meat. The fancy restaurants of the 19th century feature things like pig's feet with sauce poulet or calf's head with brain sauce. And, you know, this isn't poor people's food. These are restaurants like Delmonico's.

the fanciest restaurant in New York and probably in the United States. So some of it is the tastes have changed. Some of it is that species have declined. So there are all sorts of different kinds of wild ducks available on 19th century menus. There are, you know, pigeons, passenger pigeons. There's buffalo meat. All these either became extinct or endangered.

The most popular dishes of the 19th century in the United States are oysters, which we certainly still have, although they've become very expensive. Terrapin, which is a small turtle, now semi-endangered, and obviously people are not, this doesn't whet the appetite of the average person. So yeah, the food is radically different.
