Sinopse

"Weird Food History" takes readers on a fascinating journey through humanity's most unusual and misunderstood culinary practices, revealing how our ancestors' food choices were deeply intertwined with their cultural values, scientific knowledge, and economic circumstances.

 
The book masterfully weaves together archaeological evidence, historical documents, and anthropological studies to challenge modern assumptions about what constitutes "normal" eating habits, exploring everything from ancient Roman garum factories to Medieval butter towers. Organized around three fundamental themes – preservation techniques, status-driven eating habits, and medicinal culinary practices – the book uncovers intriguing historical practices that shaped civilization.

 
For instance, the sophisticated burial fermentation methods developed by Nordic communities demonstrate remarkable food science understanding, while the Victorian obsession with jellied dishes reveals how food presentation reflected social hierarchies. The examination of Medieval humoral theory-based nutrition provides fascinating insights into how past societies understood the connection between food and health.

 
Through a blend of scholarly analysis and engaging storytelling, the book makes complex historical concepts accessible to both casual readers and culinary professionals. Each chapter includes practical applications of historical techniques for modern use, making it relevant to contemporary food enthusiasts while maintaining academic rigor. The interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from economics, chemistry, and sociology, offers readers a comprehensive understanding of how food practices evolved within their historical contexts, while challenging common misconceptions about historical diets.

  • Wise Men not so Wise - Investigation into the Constitutional Council - cover

    The Constitutional Council is the embodiment of wisdom and is responsible for defending the rule of law and the individual freedoms of the French people, by censuring a law if it considers it unconstitutional. Discretionarily appointed by the three highest authorities of the State for a non-renewable nine-year term, its members are nevertheless the subject of much controversy: - This Institution is in fact the watchdog of the Head of State, and not of the rule of law; - Since its creation by General De Gaulle, its 92 members, most of them in their seventies, have been appointed based solely on political criteria or reasons of simple cronyism, old friendship, in gratitude for services rendered or simply on a whim. The General, Georges Pompidou, François Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac and Emmanuel Macron have appointed their close friends, often even their confidants (such as Richard Ferrand in 2025), to head the Constitutional Council. A pinnacle of insiders that does not bode well for the impartiality and independence of the nine judges. - To facilitate “the constitutional passage by force” or to validate campaign accounts that have been greatly exceeded, the head of state relies on the “Sages”. A reading of the archives of the minutes of the plenary sessions of the Constitutional Council now makes it possible to state that the nine “Sages” have regularly flouted the law for 67 years. France is the only country in the world where former heads of state sit on a Constitutional Court as ex officio and life members. Three parliamentary attempts have mysteriously failed to put an end to this incredible tradition. Nicolas Sarkozy, still “Wise” for life, is now wearing an electronic bracelet because of his multiple convictions. It has also come to light that the remuneration of the Wise Men, whether or not they sit on the court, has remained illegal for 24 years. The “Sages” perform a moderate job with a comfortable income (22,000 to 32,000 euros), which they can combine with several pensions, completely illegally. This serious journalistic investigation, written by one of the most renowned journalists in this field, reveals an impressive number of worrying and aberrant dysfunctions of this supreme and very “political” regulator of our democracy. Protected by a court spirit violently hostile to any transparency, the “Wise Men” dangerously fuel the ambient populism and the growing lack of confidence of the French in their elites.
