The song ‘There’s a Hole In My Bucket’ originated in Germany in the 1700s. It describes a deadlock situation where the character, Henry, faces problem after problem all due to a hole in his bucket. Henry attempts to find a solution through his friend Liza’s advice, but he is unsuccessful in coming up with a solid plan. Harry Belafonte and Odetta, two prominent American singers of their era, recorded the song in 1960, it reaches no. 32 on the U.K. Singles Chart.

In France in the 1600s, King Henry IV is said to have wished that each of his peasants would be able to enjoy “a chicken in his pot every Sunday.” His altruistic vision seemed to have been taken seriously, since coq au vin was a French peasant’s dish, which later became popular all over Europe.....traditionally made of chicken braised in a garlicky, mushroomy, bacon-lard sauce; with plenty of wine added. However, it was chef Julia Child who really made coq au vin popular in the U.S. thanks to her seminal 1961 cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. Along with other mouthwatering classic French recipes, Julia Child is credited with introducing French cuisine into American kitchens all over.
