> Wikipedia seems to agree it might [0]. I disagree. Wikipedia says: > Onion soups have been popular at least since Roman times.[1] The reference points to https://worldinparis.com/french-onion-soup https://worldinparis.com/french-onion-soup which just says: > Onion soups have been popular at least since Roman times. without references, so the historical references are just 'trust me, bro'. And it's also a confusing handwavy statement. What does it mean? Were the Gauls cooking onion soups or the Romans? Were they cooking it in the geographical region matching today's France? Or was it brought from Rome? These types of statements are triggering my pseudohistorical nationalism bullshit detector.
