Winter Cooking From the 1820s |Fried Mashed Potatoes & Duck| Real Historic Recipes 

Yup. Old Farmers Almanac and Yankee Magazine are full of them. We still eat many recipes from 200 years ago

You remind me of an Early American Julia Childs love to watch you cook all those old time recipes. Very interesting and enjoy the history behind them. Thank you so much! Happy ducky 🎃🦆

Where is mine LOL 💚

I grew up in a Hungarian household and my grandma made a similar version of the 200 year old receipt for fried mashed potato balls using leftover mashed potatoes. Her version was "potato cakes". Instead of breading the outside, everything was mixed together and fried in a skillet. She mostly just used onion, salt & pepper and parsley for her version as far as seasoning, omitting the rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. And of course we had duck or goose depending on what my great-uncle was able to successfully hunt.

Forgive me for asking but do you have any running water nearby-I guess what I’m asking is how do you wash your hands? Between the raw meat and eggs and just the mess of mixing butter with your hands or the potatoes, I keep wondering! Thanks.

Definitely helps my anxiety....but not so much my grocery budget....which in turn adds to my anxiety. The circle of life in this recession. 😄🙄

Who would have ever thought that nearly a million ppl would be interested in watching a 200 yo “how to” but we all love it!

@Filthy Peasant Don’t go off on HER about it.

They were good !

@@EarlyAmerican were the fried potato balls almost the same consistency similar to that of hush puppies?

Look for a pond.

Ducks shouldn't be made into food.

@@hannahduggan3599 why not ?

@@solitaire5856 Because back in August of 2022, me and my little brother Seth were watching The Wiggles Racing To The Rainbow. We saw Murray and Captain Feathersword singing Five Little Ducks together. Right after the song, there was a duck swimming in the water, looking very peaceful and beautiful while the instrumental version of Five Little Ducks was playing in the background. It broke my heart to realize that ducks, just like that one, were being hunted, shot, killed, plucked, and made into food.

Nutmeg in savory cooking is fantastic! It is an unlikely combo in modern cooking but in classic French it’s used in sauces, especially cheese sauces because it brings out the flavor. Much like adding salt to baked goods!

Correct 😁😁😁

You said it sister

😳 WHAT ! you should try an Asian dish : Duck with Straw Mushrooms ✌️♥️🇦🇺🇺🇸

@@mattfraser3452 Maybe I will try it, because it sounds delicious too. But I will cook it with a chicken😉😉

Duck is delicious, but can be a bit fatty.

Duck is delicious, my favorite, as it is all dark meat. 😊

@@iluv2worship I probably wouldn't like it. My favorite is white meat and it being greasy is a no-no. I hate greasy meat. To each his own they say😁😁 Have a blessed day.

Ducks shouldn't be made into food. It's because when I watched The Wiggles Racing To The Rainbow back in August, Murray and Captain Feathersword were both singing Five Little Ducks together. At the end of the song, there was a duck swimming in the water. The duck looked so peaceful and beautiful, but my heart was completely broken when I realized that ducks just like that one were being killed and made into food and other things.
