You’d probably be more in to it if you were interested in the history of food.
For me personally, I do find it interesting to consider what people did for food, in an age where you couldn’t just pop to the supermarket and buy literally whatever you wanted, or select from a plentiful choice or restaurants and takeaways.
My girlfriend loves Jane Austen, so she would have been interested in this video in particular.
It’s a well presented and well made video, even though the interest could be considered niche, as you put it, it saves me from needing to go through several pages of Wikipedia 8/10
