I'll be back, just starting the sourdough segment and excited to watch. I love these marathons. Some night when I have trouble going to sleep they are perfect to play. Good wholesome content that removes my mind from the troubles going on. Thank you. Happy New Year everyone. May peace and joy fill our hearts in the coming year.
Hi Jon, I want to thank you so much for your years and years of incredible videos. I am a longtime subscriber and my husband and I love your videos. We find them very soothing and we learn so much. Also, totally off the subject but it occurred to me that you look very tall and I never pictured you being very tall. Am I right? 😆
enjoying this series. maybe I missed it, but what was the recipe you used in the rich man's feast for the tart dough? I love making different pastries from the time period. thank you!
Jon, whenever I hear you put down the way this or that recipe looks when you finish making it, I'm always thinking "well, it probably looked better in the period when the people who actually knew what they were doing were making it!" Just because it looks unappetizing when YOU make it doesn't mean that that's what the finished product looked like in the 18th century!😃
I love these marathons! But you didn't mention bayberry in the lighting section, which made me wonder about other lighting made from vegetable sources - all the sources covered in the video were animal fats, from whales to bees. Were there candles made from bayberry or other vegetable sources in the time, either at home or in a candlemaker's?
John if I could ask you, could you (for the future videos) put recipe down in the comment section or video description for non native English speakers? Sometimes its hard to follow exact numbers and amounts just from the video, especially when you often read full recipe and then cut ingredients in half or one third because you don't need that much of it :/ Exact recipe used in the video put in video description would help a lot :)
@allthingsbethie That's kinda beside my point 🤷 I don't want a cookbook, especially when I aim at only one particular recipe, I don't need a whole book 😂🫣 Full recipe in the video description solves that issue just fine + not everybody can afford said book 🤔
During "The Spice that Nobody Wanted" it is stated that New Englanders would take advantage of the spices from their kitchen garden, among them garlic, yet later when speaking of the Friar's recipe with lamb, you state that garlic is rare in English cookery. Which is it?
@townsends Jon, regarding candles 🕯: did anyone in the 18th century or before (that you know of) think to use scented candles by making them with essential oils or some sort of perfume?
Still the most wholesome channel on UA-cam.
I can't sleep unless I have this on in the background.
It's a contest between this and Vice Grip Garage.
Thank you, Townsends, for another fantastic year!
So cool, I'm 1/2 through the marathon. Love this show.
💛...best channel ever... no profanity... no inappropriate comments or videos... best channel ever...
What a beautiful Christmas gift for all of us.
Thanks and God Bless to everyone at Townsend !
Only channel I'll watch for hours! Love the other presenters just as much as John. Love the honesty even when the food is terrible, I laugh so hard
Wow what a video. Totally amazing wealth of content here. Thank you.
This is the perfect video to watch casually as I slowly recover from the flu. I love the hearty recipes. They look cozy and delicious.

When the world ends, I'm going to live in this guys community
So early in this lovely icy rainy weather it's like I stepped off a longship 😹😻

Discovered this channel from a short yesterday and I already know im gonna watch a lot of videos of yours

Smoking tends to usebthe formaldehyde in the wood to preserve food. Cedar doesn't get used for smoking because the formaldehyde content is too high.
Brilliant
I appreciate the talk about the smoke house but i wish we had a more in depth look at its use.
Well would you look at that? No sleep time

They do sell the cookbooks they reference, at their website. 😊

Pay up
@@Red100Dragon Yeah, I get it. I've often wished for just one recipe too.
@Red100dragon, if you go to Townsends page and type in the subject of your search, you can find recipes that way.

England isn't New England.
@Pygar2 Ah, did I conflate the two in his meaning?
@@glasshammer291 Apparently. No biggie.
Boiling your sourdough starter kills off molds and competing yeasts and germs. First yeast to colonize the starter, wins the race!
Awesome
I did it! The whole video!
A colab between you and The Woodland Escape would be awesome
You amaze me with all your knowledge of the 18th century. Have you thought of having your own television channel or show?
I’m so early it’s like I stepped off the Mayflower :D
😂

Where is Townsend located ?
Indiana
what happens when i add sugar into the base fluid of yeast
if i intend to keep the yeast alive
Fishing vessel crews catching cod and salting it off the coast of Nova Scotia in very early colonial American history is interesting. 🐟 🧂 🤔
❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, 5 pounds of nutmeg! 😂😂😂
