I rolled my eyes when I saw it was a video talk, but actually I was talking with a friend about aphrodisiacs last week and wanted to know more about beliefs about them, so this really is scratching an itch. I also find it interesting to hear about how people in distance places/times think/thought about food/cooking (I'm a Levi-Strauss fanboi). Only a few minutes in and he's already relating everything to the theory of the four humours in a way I hadn't heard of before. Don't know if I recommend it as such, but the audience can probably select themselves ^^
Edit: jeepers, it's really dense with facts - really nice to see lots of examples of medieval food-logic worked through.
