This is how DISGUSTING the food at the court of Versailles really was

Описание: This gripping and deeply shocking script tears down the glittering facade of the Palace of Versailles and serves the audience the nauseating culinary reality at the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Instead of fine French cuisine, viewers are met with a nightmare of spoiled meat, deadly bacteria, and unimaginable gluttony. The video begins with an architectural disaster: because the kitchens were located 500 meters from the dining halls, the food always arrived at the King's table cold, dusty, and covered in rancid fat after a long journey through freezing corridors.

But the temperature was the least of their problems. The dark, unventilated kitchens were swarming with rats and blowflies. Lacking running water and refrigeration, the meat rotted rapidly and was drowned in aggressive spices by the cooks to mask the stench of decay. Since the drinking water from lead pipes was toxic and often contaminated with feces from cesspits, the nobility drank massive amounts of wine instead, leading to gout and stomach ulcers. A special focus is placed on the grotesque gluttony of the Sun King and the resulting medical treatments, such as daily, painful enemas.

This horror trip is crowned by the catastrophic dental hygiene: due to extreme sugar consumption, the elite's teeth rotted away. The King himself had a hole torn into his palate during a tooth extraction, causing wine to shoot out of his nose when he drank. All this repulsive disgust culminated in the "Grand Couvert," the public show meal where courtiers watched the toothless king eat. The script impressively shows: the kitchens of Versailles are the perfect metaphor for the absolute monarchy—glittering on the outside, rotting on the inside.
