Townsends family, I'm so sorry to hear about Jim. He started the company that became the channel that so many of us find peace and comfort in. I'm so sorry for your loss.
You all have my sympathies for the loss of James, he was a great man that started up a company that eventually got this channel that brought us all so much joy and knowledge about our past.
Condolences to all the Townsend Clan on James’ passing. His legacy will endure in all the happiness he helped bring to people across the world through his wonderful wares and these delightful videos.
Condolences for the loss of James. That "butter rubbed in flour" is a classic French cooking technique for thickening gravies and soups. The French call it "beurre manie".
I'm so thankful for everything James Townsend created, his spirit will live on through the joy and knowledge he has passed down to millions of us, rest in piece
I saw the sad news on FB earlier. Your heartfelt post and then remembering this past livestream you mentioning that your parents were watching. I am so grateful that his vision fifty years ago has spread the joy and love of history to literally millions of people. Thank you for so proudly and beautifully carrying on your father's vision and legacy.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember you answering and re-answering a question during a live stream you did with your Father about being surprised by the attention Townsends had received. This channel has brought so much to so many and your Father was a part of that. Thank you so much!
This is a drop in the bucket I'm sure you won't see this John but I want to say: truely, truely know that so many people live and continue to live despite being in dark places or high stress because of what James Townsends started. I tip my hat to him, you and your family for creating a little source of light in this Dark and cold world.
My deepest condolences to the Townsend family on the passing of James Townsend. The entire re-enacting community owes a debt of gratitude for the invaluable source and resource that he founded. Ironic that his first product was a lantern, because he and his legacy have been a guiding light for thousands who pursue living history. Rest In Peace Mr. Townsend.
Jon, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you through these videos, and you seem to be a sincerely good man and one can only assume you learned that from the first man you knew. My heart breaks for you and your family. Stay strong, trust in God, and lean on his message during this time of sorrow and reflection on the brevity of this life.
Looks absolutely delicious. I'm from NJ and every week I go to the Amish Market near me they make a pork tenderloin stuffed with sage sausage wrapped with a pound of apple wood smoked bacon marinaded in maple Syrup words can't describe how amazing it tastes
My condolences to you all. I've been entertained by all your work and education for years and years all the way down here in New Zealand. I'm sure he will be proud of you all continuing his legacy
As others have stated , I am sorry for the loss of your father. Before my father passed away a few years ago I introduced him to RU-vid programming and one of the channels we binged on was yours…. As a kid we lived in Portsmouth Virginia and one of our favorite things to do was to tour places like Williamsburg…. Watch your show brought us back to those fond memories
Deepest condolences on the loss of James Townsend. 🙏🏼 He probably enjoyed your RU-vid channel so much as an educational tool. This recipe looks absolutely delicious!
I add my condolences and prayers to the Townsend family and team for the loss of Jim. I missed any news items on that so I appreciate seeing these notes in the comment section. Thank you for all your videos, information, products ... and *_always_* your cheerful energy. Jim will be missed.
My condolences to you and your family John, and I’m not one to comment normally but I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your content and find such joy in what you do. Thank you for adding a little more light to this world.
Such a good hearted person.. making people happy with his historic "shake and bake". I will miss this man. I sincerely use his wonderful show as an anti-stress medicine. His soothing and kind personality is a rare find in the modern world! No wonder he was drawn to a simpler time in history. Rest in peace sir.
😱 So sorry to hear about your Dad passing! I loved the interview you did with him a while back. Take care in your time of grief. Much love to you all! ❤️😢
John, I'm so sorry 😞 for your loss! I know nothing I can say that will make the pain of losing a loved one better! I will pray for you and your family! I lost my Son, age 32 of a heart attack 💔 did not know he had heart problems, October 7th of 2021 and the pain is paralyzing grief 💔 😢 😔. It was the worst day of my life...!!! I pray you can have peace!!! He was very special!
We love you guys. Thanks for bringing us the peace of the 18th century. We hope it brings peace to yours as you contemplate the those who are most important to you. Much Love from Dallas Texas
Putting the video out after the family's loss stands as a testament to what He stood for and believed in for so many years. Again, my condolences to the family and his friends.
Condolences to the Townsends family on the loss of James. This channel and the business are an Indiana treasure. You can be very proud of what your father has built.
I think the way this channel evolved is really great, lots of terrific work. I enjoy the content a lot and I am glad I was here to watch it expand. As for the news, I offer my most sincere condolences. The show must go on.
I'm so proud of you for still doing this video releaser in the face of your grief. You guys are so amazing. I'm truly sorry for your loss. I look forward to trying this recipe
Some of my favourite german foods, schnitzle and cutlets. They also make a false cutlet from the leftover breadcrumb mix. With Ajvar or an onion gravy. Mmmmm mmmmm.
Family and food.. Nothing is better for the soul. You and yours have brought that to us and others for many years. Thank you, wishing your father fair winds and following seas.
So sorry about what happened john this channel means so much to so many, please keep that in mind when you feel sad about the passing. He's helped so many people learn about important American history. Thank you so much
This looks so much like the contemporary Japanese dish of pork cutlet curry. In fact the only change would be the spices in the gravy. They even sell curry "roux blocks" that work like that ball of butter and flour, only it has all the spices mixed in as well.
Pork cutlet curry is a Japanese dish of British origin though. So it's not really Japanese. Its a British dish, at least the individual parts of it are.
@@bigfatchubbybritboy9445 It's definitely in the "Youshoku" category of western inspired cuisine, but it's become a distinctly Japanese dish in the way it's served these days. But this happens all the time as foods migrate around the globe.
@@BojoPigeon Yeah, as you say the Japanese version is pretty different from the type of curry you'd get in England. Much sweeter, slightly different spices, etc.
@@bigfatchubbybritboy9445 it is japanese, what it's _not_ is indian anymore. It's japan's adaptation of britain's approximation of indian curry, but at this point there's not much indian left in it.
Japanese tonkatsu is quite different from the pork cutlets made here. The panko breadcrumbs and overall spicing are significantly different, and this was simply pan-fried while a tonkatsu would be deep-fried. That said the preparation here shares a lineage with tonkatsu in the same way they both share a lineage with German schnitzel and other breaded, fried meat cutlet dishes.
My deepest condolences. May God continue to keep you and bless your family as he has for so many decades. May you find peace, comfort and joy just as you have brought to countless people. 🙏🏻
So sorry for the loss for you all. I love watching these videos and learning. They are what got me started into making a lot of things in the old ways, not just foods, but items around my home, ways of working on things, all of the things that help build a sense of fulfillment into what I do. I thank you all for that.
Great video!...What amazes me sometimes is that I watch your channel and realize that many thing we still do today they did back then...many things have changed...but many have not.
The butter rubbed with flour way of thickening liquid is a classical French technique called 'beurre manié', or "kneaded butter". It requires equal parts by volume of softened butter and flour, worked together thoroughly.
Yanno, I've been watching food programming since I was a little kid in the eighties glued to pbs. In this time of loss I hope you can take solace in knowing that in my darkest hours you comfort me as though you were the father I never knew. Oh lord in heaven. I am of no religion, and see the divinity in all of them. May you keep our beloved James close to you for eternity. Rest In Peace James Townsend. Your gift to us will always be cherished.
Sending Love and Positivity to you and your family in your time of grief. Sail On, Sir. Energy is neither created nor destroyed simply transferred. So, we’re never truly apart as long as Love remains in our hearts. Peace.
It reminds me a little of Jaegerschnitzel, except the sauce in that case is a cream sauce, with mushrooms. This would go nicely with a glass of good dark beer.
Are there any other content creators like Townsends? I don't mean specifically cooking related, but channels that explore a more simple and old school time period. I'm really digging people who embrace the ways of old or live off the land.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. Prayers of peace for the family and friends. I have just a small window into this world but it is a beautiful scene. My guess is he has influenced every aspect of what I get to see on this channel.
