I’ve been watching your channel for years now, and while I haven’t always kept up on all your videos, I absolutely love that you keep making them. This is one I’ll watch start to finish.
"Rice Soup" @ Time 1:35:05 With the ingredients used, this is similar to a recipe my family has passed down. It is thick, unlike soup and is most often served as a breakfast dish. Toppings can be anything; Butter, Cream, Fruits, Nuts & Seeds.
little correction to the deer heart episode. you would eat the pluck first before the good meat is eaten, it spoils SO much faster. innards first, then the good meat.
I think people misunderstand history: the change from "work+survive+gather most of it yourself" to a "work+ just buy what you need" life. It was only a few hundred years ago that a large % of people were still in the prior group, and only those living in cities/towns were lucky enough to be doing some of the latter. Most people today, even if they tried to live like 18/19th century frontiersmen/colonialists, I don't think they always realize the extremes needed to survive: eating the lime peels, offal, expiration dates didn't exist.
Was there preparation for cooking water? I imagine if this was spring water used .. the food would take on some of the flavor of the particulars found in the water. Meaning was the water filtered with rags and then boiled
By the time they get into a cookbook, recipes have usually been around for at least a generation. Perhaps much longer. Hence John using a recipe that's clearly from the 17th century (1600s) based on the ingredients, even though it only appears in a cookbook in the next century.
Yankee Doodle dandy stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni 😂 I wonder 🤔 what they would have thought if a bunch of hippies would have come to town with their bare feet, boho and tye dye ? No doubt there would have been many that would LOLLYGAG and thought the hippies fashion sense TARADIDDLE .😂 However today's fashion preferences are nothing less than CATAWAMPUS and MALARKY 😂 Hopefully fashion's WIDDESHINS will cease and we can get back to comfy cotton and linens but enough of my MONKEYSHINES 😁 I ❤ Mac and cheese , let's eat 😋😂😂
I know you put a lot of time into research, but I find it extremely hard to believe that in the 18th century people didn't have forks. Why don't you use a fork. I know that the people settling this country had to have had some sort of utensil known as a fork.
The British didn't start using forks until the 17th century, and even then, it still took some time for them to become popular. It was adopted earlier in continental Europe, but not much earlier. People viewed forks as delicate and effeminate... It was thought of as a weird Italian affectation. People just used knives, spoons, and their hands to eat. So no, at this point in history, forks would have been a very new thing, and more typically found among the upper classes. I know it's hard to believe that something so common today would be a rarity (and even shunned), by that's the way it was.
Been taking college classes and used one of your many recipes for class and got an A on the assignment. :/ :) You learn a lot in the culture of a society in just the food alone.

You could use any sweetener, maple syrup, molasses, whatever flavor you prefer. Honey would be neat because it would help preserve the peels longer since it’s anti microbial
I agree with you in the fact that this is a lifestyle.. ive been fortunate to have had a hillbilly family who prepared food and maintained animals. Ive been canning with my grandmothers pressure canner and water bath pots since i was big enough to see over the table.. it takes a long time to accomplish security. Im 64 and dont feel like ive done enough yet so i have a goal to do more . I have learned so much and remembered things from channels like your . I.e. Keeping sourdough starter in the pantry. Anybody can make a loaf of bread if you have yeast. But I prefer the sourdough starter because you can do anything with it. I want ramble, just one example. My grandmother used to say I forgotten more than I know. I never understood that until I hit my fifties. And then I realized all the little things that she has shown me and told me along the precious time that I had with her, it was always a lesson for life. Can it Store it dehydrated, grind it. Stock it. Save it. Great video kiddo. Keep it up. It's not as profitable as some people think to be the victim. When you miss out on learning life skills. Lol stay toasty

I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve been cooking outside using the tripod I got from the townsends shop. It works so well. I’ve been using it to cook chili and stews with dumplings. Cooking outside in a giant cauldron is so fun. Thanks for sharing! 😄🥘
Cool! My staple food is actually some kind of stew like people ate for thousands of years, I think. I just fill a pot half full with random vegetables, add a little of wine or whiskey and place some meat on top. Then I let it allone and Cook for one hour or more. I love beef of course, chicken, salmon, not cubed but in a whole. Bratwurstls, pork belly or vegan varieties are possible of course. White, red, ore green beans or peas. Have a good one!
The lime recipe took me back 45-47 years. I think it was based on your lime recipe but it had different twist from the 19th century wars and supplies. Yes, Key Lime is good but not enough peel for this and other pastries. Mikel
Sure glad Micheal is on this bcuz I don't like nutmeg & John uses nutmeg in EVERY recipe whether it calls for it or not. A cow only has 4 stomachs, not 7.
@@KatieCatWalkeryou generally wouldn’t want to do that with non organic limes because of pesticides and wax coating (which is common for fruits to have). I’m sure it would be fine if you gave it a good wash though
I really enjoyed this but sometimes found the music intrusive. You don’t always need it. The content is interesting enough, 🎉🎉🎉 I’m amazed he manages to bake with no apron and no rolled up sleeves. I would be covered in flour & bits by the time the five bread was rising.
Love watching your videos and hearing the history of food and life in the 1700’s The cabin in the snow I’ve watched several times. ❤It’s comforting to me. I tell people I must have been born in a different era. 😂
I like the Jerky, but this would have been done in a much larger operation for any sizable group of folks. Pemican was a good way to do it(mashing berries in with it). would make for a good trail item. :D
master...i watch..all you videos..if you will see..that food is find in all Europe.....at least corn meal..vith potatoes..and a little bit pf smell of beef or pork..that was in territory of Romania...and that mix of meet and all of the things 9f an animal..mix them ..is also im Romania for 900 hy old..to today..
Um, you do realize that potatoes, maize (corn meal), peppers, and tomatoes come from the Americas, right? So there's no possible way those ingredients were being used in Romanian cooking several centuries ago.
I don't even remember how i found this channel because it's so far outside of what i normally watch, but I've been watching it for the last hour and a half and I'm a little disappointed that it's getting close to the end. We need more long videos! Or not, whatever you want, these are just great to watch.
idk if they had a machine for that back then, but you don't need a machine to make tube pasta; a wooden dowel would work just fine for bigger tubes, i've used wooden skewers to make bucatini before.
