TIME WARP MUKBANG: EATING LIKE THE 1920'S

2020-08-13 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 28 min

A Time Warp Mukbang in which Chantal (Foodie Beauty) cooks and eats 1920s-inspired recipes: a hot, cheesy "Prosperity Sandwich" (a take on the Hot Brown) and an Icebox (Zebra) Cake made from chocolate wafers and whipped cream. While eating, she discusses 1920s culture (flappers, jazz, Prohibition), the origins and ingredients of the dishes, and the convenience-food innovations of the decade. She drinks a gin and tonic and closes by inviting era suggestions for future videos.
