@Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam Even further back in Japan, upper class people would make the kitchen an entire separate building to cut down on fire risk.

I'm like yooo I'll take one of those, please. If anyone needs me I'll be cooking up a storm in my fortress of solitude 😂

@sidereal @Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam

Kitchens in Europe used to be separate as well for that reason.

The kitchen at Versailles is so far away, the royals' food was always cold or at best tepid

@CorvidCrone @Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam And this is why they had to invent those pneumatic tube delivery systems that some banks still use in their drive-thrus. Please support my "burrito delivery tubes as physical infrastructure" utility startup

@CorvidCrone @Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam Also for context in Japan, these buildings were like, tiny, and right next to each other. It was sorta like if you had a separate kitchen cabin in the backyard. Short, rain-covered walk to the dining area

The kitchen at Sanssouci (Germany) is huge and was super modern at the time, but in the same wing as the STABLES and coach house.

@CorvidCrone @Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam lmaooo "don't shit where you eat" should probably also be extended to include "don't let your animals shit where you cook, either"

@sidereal @Survival_Is_Insufficient@ni.hil.ist @cam

Also, "let's shove the kitchen away due to fire risk. Sure put it next to the horses, who cares if it catches fire"
