How did people make dishes which require blending before the invention of blenders? Potato+Leek Soup is a dish which vastly pre-dated the invention of the blender, yet nowadays I can't find a single recipe that doesn't involve some form of electronic blender.

It's not needed, but the blender really speeds up the process.

food mill, masher, mortar and pestle, and/or sieve. Apparently fish quenelle were pureed in mortar and pestle originally

Sieve with pestle would be the professional kitchen. The bigger the batches, the bigger the sieve.
You could press items through a colander with the back of a spoon too. Potato masher for a rough smashup of soup in the pot.

Since the 1950s, home cooks could mash potatoes in the pot with an electric mixer...my Mom does that for whipped potatoes on Thanksgiving.

>go to baptist uni because close and cheap
>Apologetics courses are a req to graduate
>my baptist, marine veteran professor teaches us that the sun did in fact exist before the earth did (thus matching the scientific dating), but LIGHT did not until God said let there be light
>So the sun was just sitting there chilling, totally chemically and physically active, but not really producing light because God had not invented the concept yet

He also taught us that before God flooded the earth (Noahs Ark etc) it had never rained before, so people were understandably panicked

To each their own. I heard there was a 'dark age' of the universe where it was opaque and light had to make it transparent. But it wasn't the time of our sun, which apparently belongs to the thousandth generation of stars. I don't see why life would have appeared on our planet only and not on an earlier one when there is LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) and some microbes can safely travel through space.

These are correct. And they are still common in modern kitchens. The amount of fucking chicken mousse I had to pass when I was starting out is criminal
