单集简介 ...

Tonight, we’ll read an excerpt from 1892’s “The Chemistry of Cookery” by W. Mattieu Williams that we titled Count Rumford’s Substitute for Tea and Coffee. Snoozecast first read this excerpt back in 2020.  Benjamin Thompson, also known as Count Rumford, was an interesting fellow. Born in Massachusetts in 1753, he charmed and married an heiress from Concord, New Hampshire, then called Rumford, NH. He was a British loyalist when the American Revolutionary War began. When a rebel mob attacked his house, he abandoned his house and family to join the British side of the war and conducted experiments on gunpowder. Then he moved to Bavaria, and among other things applied his scientific skills to establishing workhouses for the poor and inventing the method of cooking called Sous Vide. For his efforts in science and society his awarded the title of Count. He chose the name Rumford for the town he was married in some twenty years earlier. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
