Preparing a Feast in 1820 - A Thanksgiving Feast - I’m Tired Now 

Had to they did know Amy other way a coal stove was a luxery

That s what they had those days

@@francesodle6069 You need to proofread before you post.

@@francesodle6069 they didn’t even have coal stoves back in the 1820s

I'm more impressed that they could eat all that between the two of them.

Yes its also called a dutch oven

My grandma made several dishes at the cabin in the fireplace. I was too young to really learn anything

I thought it was very clever. I didn’t realise that hearths were used in this way and it makes so much sense.

Not exactly but close 😀

after all, the saying "home is where the heart is" originally was "home is where the hearth is" a hearth warms the ambient, allows you to make basically every type of cooking (boiling, stewing, frying, if you have a dutch oven even baking...), heats the water for your ablutions, even provides light in the evening.... a Hearth was truly the heart of the house

love it!

I was thinking the same thing!

Well said! 👍

Exactly

I watch it to fall asleep

The only problem with cooking on a hearth is that everything you eat is basically smoked. It's hard for me to imagine now since I love the taste of real smoke flavor, but I can imagine that many people got worn out by it.

When I lived in rural Montana, I’d see the old cabins falling back into the earth & always wondered about their history! Loved photographing them! Have a beautiful day!🍂🦃🍂

Same here in northern Michigan (Harbor Springs), I love wondering back woods of old trails and come across old sawmills and homesteads.

I lived in the Ozarks in Missouri as a child our closet neighbor was two miles away. I lived with my mom my auntie and my five cousins we were all close in age . My grandparents lived a bout a half a mile away up on top of a big hill we lived in "the cottage" an old two story three bedroom house. I was in kindergarten and would take schoolbus. Neighbors had horses and cows. We would go exploring and play til started getting dark. We loved the frog ponds and empty barns the creeks and climbing the tallest trees we could it was really wonderful. I lived there in Rogersville til I was in second grade then my mom got married and we moved to Springfield. I don't remember ever going to a grocery store the whole time I lived there in Rogersville. I only went into town to go to school. I remember a lil gas station my mom would stop at and I'd sometimes get a piece of candy. Even though I was only there for a few years it was most definitely the best time of my childhood it was wonderful.

@@THX-vb8yz Detroit, Michigan 🥰

@@deannrose274 Detroit has some of the BEST places to visit for history and adventure.

We bought a meal at a re-enactment cooked by a couple who attended different venues. Everything was 100% authentic as grown, smoked, cooked in 1860s, except for one minor exception I can't remember. I was totally unprepared for how DELICIOUS that food was. It was all cooked over the fire, including the raspberry pie, tarts. Just thinking about it makes me so hungry!

She's the REAL cooking ninja!

If you want to shake things up a little and cook 18th century foods but only have modern equipment then you might like this channel if you haven't seen it: ru-vid.com

@@BloodInTheStrawberries Yes, I follow Townsend and Son, too. Thank you! Edit: I have 19th century pioneer cooking equipment, handed down in the family. Cast iron skillets, dutch ovens, some later enamelware, wooden butter churn, things like that. I can cook pioneer food, which was very plain--and traditional Native American meals--all over a campfire. Not reenacting, just life, camping, hiking, etc. I think of the main part of my ancestry as Earlier American. In our daily lives we garden, forage, fish, hunt, and sometimes prepare meals like nut soup, pine bark flour flatbread, acorn cakes, roasted cattail roots, succotash, venison stew, and masa tortillas. There is a video on RU-vid of a woman processing acorns the traditional way. I use modern gadgets whenever I can. I like to understand the origin, history, availability, and preparation of all foods.

Closest I come to cooking like that is my brick firepit. But yeah. In the kitchen I use electric griddle, an electric skillet, I had a manual egg beater/mixer, oven, stove, pressure cooker, and deep fryer but can never imagine doing a whole dinner like that. Although watching this channel I would like to try it on my fire pit.

And she doesn’t have kids😅

Thank you for spending Thanksgiving with us Delories! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

I’ll bring the wine 🍷

@@Brianj69 I will bring the chocolate!

Same here.

I really want to visit St. Genevieve one day! I live in rural North West Missouri! A trip will definitely be on my bucket list

Plp

@@jvbpt what???

I fail to understand how anyone could exchange a home-made feast from recipes passed from generation to generation for some store-bought crap, but if it makes you happy, who am I to judge.

@@YamiKisara First of all you don't know my life. I work full time. Actually overtime since my company is very understaffed right now and I am exhausted when I come home from work. I worked on Thanksgiving and the day before and the day after. My parents don't celebrate the holiday because they are Polish immigrants so I am in charge of buying the meal. Stop judging people.

@@YamiKisara I cooked as part of a Thanksgiving dinner this past holiday--I made the yams, mac & cheese, dressing, homemade cranberry sauce, and more and I wish I HAD just bought a ready-made meal! I was wiped out by the time I was done and was so tired, I could barely eat, LOL. Not everyone wants to cook their guts out (or is able to) on the holiday.

We will love whatever you two put together. Planning on watching and relaxing.

May the Lord keep everyone in good Health, may there be Peace, Joy and Love in everyone's heart in this world. Let us pray for those who are struggling with minimal to no food, homeless, fear, etc., Lord please open their hearts and/ or hear their prayers. May we be generous and give joyfully when panhandlers ask, for the Lord our God sees and knows all. Please let us remember Thanksgiving and everyday is about giving our Lord Thanks and Praise for all His Goodness and Blessings. May we never take anything for granted, lest we find out the true feeling of being ungrateful. Peace, Joy, Health and much Love to all. Happy 🙏Thanksgiving 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣-November

I'm a mama of 3 and recognized that right off the bat! 😆 Great minds!

Ok, someone else said it!! I’ve been wondering because she keeps tying her apron higher likes she’s covering a baby bump!! Now with the fatigue in this one!! They will have to add a bedroom to their sweet little cabin soon!

Yep!

I agree! I was sitting here watching this video thinking the same thing. 👏🥰

I thought that a few videos ago, but I didn't want to assume. ;)

I was kinda wondering the same when the duck came out. How did they clean cast iron back in the day with no running water or steel wool. That would be a Herculean task in and of itself.

You CAN smell how delicious it is!

I would like to see this too as I'm interested in using it but not sure how to upkeep it. Teach me Justine!! 😁

Salt, scrub, clean off, oil it.

@@dcduing3815 that would be an interesting Google. I'm sure they managed we still have cast iron skillets

I was thinking the same thing 🤣

My first thought too

It’s the clothing, it just makes her look that way. When I wore my costume, my mother-in-law would say, “that’s not very flattering”, and I would say, “no, but it’s authentic!” That’s the sign of a good reenactor!

🤣 me too

I love it in the winter when i get to practice!

Many women did. The coals on the hearth and long full skirts were a dangerous combination. Even cook stoves were a problem. When kitchens, cooking utensils, and recipes started being standardized, one of the things they did was put the stove in a sensible place so you didn't have to walk around it all the time as you gathered and prepped your ingredients.

Honeyyy, I was thinking the same thing.

Its a shame most of school stopped teaching baking, cooking, canning, sewing, basic math, cursive writing, grammar or spelling. They don't teach financial responsibility or budgeting. Our schools replaced skills needed to survive, especially in today's economy with gender and sexuality issues. If a war comes to North America today it Will be much worse than the great depression as most Canadians donot know the basic household skills. On top of that butter is 8 dollars a pound, sugar and flour is so expensive. Maple syrup is 15. For 500 ml. Most people hear do not shop bulk, dont realize how much they can save. They could shop in bulk as multi family shoppers. God bless channels like this.

When I was young I used to love the day after Thanksgiving and especially Christmas there was plenty of leftovers and the kids had new toys I could sit back and read a book . Now it’s just myself and husband and that’s not fun anymore 😩. Cherish the little ones because even my grandkids are grown .

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy

Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽. Enjoy your feast you made sounds delicious.

I only did the sweet potato pies today. I'm only responsible for sides this year, mashed potato, gravy and green beans casserole is going to be cooked tomorrow (aside from turkey--that's the hubby's duty). Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy!

She might still end up a chef on food network.

Chef Justine and sous Chef Ron 😉

This show is not actually filmed in the 1820's.

@@Kitties_are_pretty thanks Joshua

Germany is nice, how r u

and we have stoves, ovens, imagine that blazing fire the heat !!! she did a wonderful job though.

Don’t forget chopping wood! Especially with winter coming soon

stocking the larder for the winter ahead as well she needs to do that or they will starve, canning, pickling, whatever what will they eat

So cute!!

@@BrittneyM7777 hehe thank you 😊

I can just imagine the work to clean the pots & pans too. And the ladies must have had such sore backs from cooking on an open stove. Incredible what folks accomplished.

I'm English and also grew up eating rabbit 🙂 I have many happy memories of rabbit stew

@@ktktktktktkt I could NEVER EAT RABBIT! SEEMS LIKE THE FAMILY PET! NOR LAMB FOR THE SAME REASON! "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB WHOSE FLEECE WAS WHITE AS SNOW AND EVERYWHERE THAT MARY WENT, THE LAMB WAS SURE TO GO." FROM OLD NURSERY RHYME

Rabbits are indeed delicious. Roasted with spinach and garlic, with a cream root vegetables sauce or any other recipe. Although if I can have one, I prefer a hare. It has stronger, more gamey taste.

@@irisscott9488 if you'd rather not eat rabbit, thats your decision :). the all caps are a bit much :).

@@everlyw7892 OH, REALLY! SUCK LICKS AND FLY!! HOW BOUT THAT!?? DROP OVER THE MOON! SING A LOONEY TUNE! DON'T FORGET TO EAT A PRUNE!

Not for everybody.🙄

@@Rob774 k

Exactly my thinking...And my 7 year old daughter absolutely loves it too!

NOPE!! No paper of any kind!! I hadn’t noticed that, but that is kind of nice!

Cabins are overrated. Get an old farm house. We got one, best choice we've ever made :)

Lol! 😂

LOL!!!

Try going on a couple only weekend to a cabin. In at one now with my entire family for Thanksgiving and it’s like living back in time. It’s so relaxing. So grateful. Loving god’s creatures and fresh air and beautiful nature.

Just need a really big cabin and a really big fireplace 😉

No you wouldn't. Get over your nostalgia. Unless you were a white male, your life sucked, and you had zero rights. And oh btw, your life expectancy was like 52.

You think they live like this in real life? No way. They have to have a modern home somewhere, right? One thing is certain, they definitely use a supermarket. Who would have that much sugar on hand and so many spices at that time - only the rich. This is a commoner's cabin.

Well of course not. Don't you get it ? They are doing these videos for the public. And how do you know if they don't have the money for sugar ? They said in the video that Ben killed a duck. So just enjoy the video and don't judge.

Prayers for your entire family. PLEASE update about your mom.

Prayers and blessings for you your beloved family and all who are affected in this time

Prayers for your family.

My dad was also hospitalized for a week due to COVID and double pneumonia, he's healing now it's been a few months but we're so grateful. I hope your mom goes home soon and you all enjoy your Thanksgiving feast!

Praying yr mom is better now.

Thank you very much mam!

My Greek mother loved to cook.
