Today's recipe is a little different: Cheese-curd fritters from Eliza Smith's 1758 cookbook, "The Compleat Housewife." We found it a bit challenging to make cheese curds in camp, but we managed to pull it off. If you don't want to go to those lengths, you can often find cheese curds at your grocer. Either way, deep fried and topped with sugar, you can't really go wrong! Enjoy!

4:58 The man is hanging a bag with cheese on a tree, and he does it with a big smile on his face. Truly one of the best hosts of a show i´ve seen in many years
I noticed that too.Jon looks like a guy who really enjoys his life.
He truly loves what he does. Cheers.
@Sarah Nyb Yeah, me too.
He lives his dream, that have nothing to do with America. The USA is a parasitic nation. He lives like the landrobbers, nothing more.

"Blood Warm" will be my new go-to descriptor for lukewarm or body temp.
"Blood warm" is slightly warmer than "finger warm". =)
Ok, "finger warm" is now my favorite adjective.
Jason Fritz And now you have two different descriptors, so that you can be more accurate when you need to describe something that's about body-temperature.
_Are we really aware of the temperature of our own blood?_
*We?* No. But 18th century housewifery wasn't for the faint of heart; they'd have known exactly how warm blood was. Now, just stick in a thermometer and watch it rise to 37C...
I'm pretty sure that farmwives in the 18th century would have ended up slaughtering a calf or two, or delivering a babt in their day. blood warm is blood warm.
as a former resident of Wisconsin my heart began beating faster just reading the title of this video. i better calm down, just living in wisconsin has raised my cholesterol to the point of being basically dead.
jhendka p. Yikes there must be alot of unhealthy food there we dont have alot down here in south
KarniClown cmon, the south has food just as bad for you. Be real.
MoistTowelette not where im from maybe NC and the other states but none that i have seen here in florida
Nice I'm from Wisconsin too. Been here all my life. Cheese is definitely a food staple here lol
@@roberttaylor698 Florida isn't in the South, they will not have you and I live in Wisconsin, but lived in Georgia for 2 years so I know.
As a young boy hanging out in my grandma's kitchen I only ever saw use the palm of her hands for measuring ingredients and her goodies were great. She baked on an old wood cook stove.
Townsends: "You don't find cheese curds in recipes very often these days."
Canada and Wisconsin: "Are we a joke to you?"
Sad part is I come from California which has amazing different cheeses especially since we have the Mexican cheeses and then you have the people who come from different states and we are one of the largest Multicultural States outside of New York in the country yet we have not really celebrated our Cheese's until recently. In the last few years cheese production in California not imported has begun to be important. And you don't have to go to the specialty shop to try and find it it is starting to get into the regular stores. So it's sad that curds were never and still are not available even in the specialty shops not sure why not maybe because there wasn't anybody from Wisconsin Utah which is where I found them. Or any other state that might have had a good strong farm community still making good strong Farm food in California that could push the marketing or have a good Farm Stand those all died in the 70s out here. Our farmers markets are not really farmers markets the predominant thing with them is a few organic farmers that really do grow food on their own farms and then people who go to large markets in the major hubs purchase the vegetables fruits whatever and then sell them at the farmers markets pretending to be farmers as well as allowing non-farm Goods to be sold at these markets it's sad it's a black mark on our reason for having these markets
Ha! Thumbs up!
there are stores without cheese curds?
@@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678 seriously, all the Canadians I know stock up on cheese when in California.
Quebec is more accurate than all of canada....historically speaking
I ended up making these, and changed the recipe slightly. Instead of cane sugar/crystal sugar I used powdered sugar. I also salted the curd slightly more and they came out amazingly. Next time I'm probably going to experiment with a more savory route, or try to incorporate corn into them.
Great, thanks for sharing your experience!
scrooglemcdoogle that was what I was thinking, savoury maybe a little dipping sauce.
Tracey Allen Gravy, maybe
Where did you find cheese curds?!!
@@talosheeg Wisconsin, they sell the stuff everywhere, but go on the days when the local cheese makers are making they are much better fresh and squeaky.

"I love the nutmeg"
frfr whats up with that?
He reminds me so much of my mother! She loves nutmeg, too.
This man has a nutmeg problem.
@@WMDistraction lol nutmeg is a hallucinogenic
That's what european says back then.
I loved the flavor description in this one. In a lot of your older videos, you didn't really describe what the dish tasted like aside from that it was "good". This one, I could almost imagine it!
Yes, I have to get better at describing. Thanks for the comment!
+Jas. Townsend and Son, Inc. In Wisconsin cheese curds are very common, and also the deep fried variety. I have never heard of a non savory sort of curd though...
is that a jeff white french trade knife
I personally love how that guy pronounces garnish though (in his other videos). Man, I love this channel
mmmmm, food good, food good, that's my dad when he eats, homer simpson style!
James, were you ever a teacher? You seem to have the passion that' I've only seen in teachers to share knowledge.
Nope, this is pretty much what I have always done.
he's a 'teacher' of sorts right now =]
Well he thought us something so yeas.
never seen a passionate teacher in my life to be honest
616lordofdarkness
This is the saddest comment I’ve seen all day. I stay in contact with so many of my students to this day, years later. I put everything I had and knew how to do into making their learning process rewarding and invigorating and enjoyable. I’m so, so sorry that you’ve never seen a passionate teacher.
(And John Townsend, you most certainly are one too!)
Why can't Food Network/Travel Channel/History Channel give this man his own show?
Amar7605 Actually, I wouldn't want network influence on the skits.
Lou Fazio good executive call there.
Good point.
He already does have his own show. You're watching it
Because food network only wants reality show trash.
If you're just making curds, and not cheese that you're going to age, you can use distilled vinegar. That's how we in northern Norway make _gomme_, which is curds where the whey is either removed or boiled until it's caramelised and very reduced. We generally mix in raisins, and in white _gomme_ we generally sweeten it with sugar. The sugar is not as necessary in the brown _gomme_, since it's already sweetened by the milk sugars in the whey.
When making curds or white _gomme_, keep the whey to use in baking!
When using vinegar or lemon juice that is an acid set curd, it requires almost boiling the milk with the acid in it, and it causes more proteins to denature. In fact you can take the whey used in this video, add some vinegar or lemon juice to it, boil it, and you will get a small amount of ricotta cheese from it.
If you use acid on whole milk, you won't end up with the cheese curds needed for this video, they will be much looser. Modern day ricotta instead of being made with just the whey from cheese is generally made from whole milk or even whole milk with cream added, and uses an acid to form the curds.
Or, you know, buy non-homogenised milk and just wait for it to go curdly.
(Czech here. We use curds A LOT in our cuisine, and you can buy many different types of it. I think pasteurisation doesn't interfere, but I'm not sure because I often buy my milk from a milk automat where it isn't even pasteurised and you have to treat it yourself.)
... also, I keep thinking the kind of looser softer curds that's common here and which you can get by just waiting for milk to go curdly might actually be better for this recipe. If it's supposed to be batter.
There's also a Czech recipe for fried... things... shaken in sugar where you make curd or sour cream dough, roll it out and cut out shapes that you fry.
This is how we make Paneer or cottage cheese in India. We use lemon juice and add it just before the boiling temperature.
Your videos are so good, brother. You're like the Bob Ross of old-fashioned cooking.
Thanks!
honestly a very apt comparison
why are you making a positive comment negative?
hes just comparing their voices because how relaxing it is , there is nothing wrong with that
@@christophertoole6994, oh my God! You're like the Howard Stern of UA-cam commenting.
My dad used to use the inside skin of chicken gizzards or even goat stomachs to curdle the milk for cheese. Pretty cool how they had it all figured out back then with just natural ingredients.
fried Chicken gizzards are the best
Yes they absolutely are, too bad they dont sell them much in fast food chicken restaurants. When I was in VA they used to sell them at a local fried chicken place along with fried livers and they used to sell tons.
+Just Add Muscle Recipe's yea it sucks
+Just Add Muscle Recipe's just about every fried chicken place in texas has them

I dont know why they dont down here in Florida.
I'm a new homeschooling mom, and I cannot wait to share this videos with my kiddo for cooking and history!! Thank you!
I hope they have fun learning about cooking and history. Thanks for the comment!
3a3j 6bun Never understood homeschooling. Did you put your kids through it out of necessity or because it was what YOU believed was right
@@billrowse2266 google common core and progressives syllabus then get back to us.
@@dylanb4494 I wasn't criticising the system, but yes 11 months later I definitely have a better perspective on why people decide to go that route for their children's education.
@@billrowse2266 glad to hear it man. While we do have the risk of dumbass crazy people ruining their kids education, we need to preserve the right of parents to decide whats best for their own children.
Also go make this recipe it was very good. Like funnel cake stuffed with cheese curds.
I probably know more about cheese than anyone who's not in the cheese biz really needs to know, but this is the first time that I've ever heard anyone explain the function of rennet - not from the fromager's perspective, but from the calf's perspective. Thank you for filling in that hole in my knowledge.
Cheese Curd is one of the 3 ingredients of my homeland's national dish : Poutine!

Curd is a very popular ingedient here in Germany. You can find it in every Supermarket in many different fat conent. Make a tast: fresh Bread with curd and jam or curd with frech herbs and boliled potatoes. I think the german "Quarkbällchen" are simular to your recepi. Very popular in the time of carnival. (sorry about my english, greetings from Cologne, Germany)
Czech here. I'm not sure this kind of curds is as spread-y as what we have here! But that combination is rather popular on this side of the border as well, and the variety applies here as well. :-)
Your English is great! Definitely better than my German. :)
"Curds arent something you find in recipe books today"
Me: *laughs in Wisconsinite*
i discovered this channel today and i just want to say this is pretty awesome, i love seeing the types of food on here, i really want to make some of my own and i really like the detail with the music and the clothing to give it a little oomph, great work i will be following regularly and spreading the word.
Thank you for sharing our channel!
You are the 18th Century Bob Ross of cooking. Feels good listening and watching you do this. Thank you!

Bag of cheese in a tree? Happy tree indeed!
Lol
Cheese curds are a local specialty here in Wisconsin. Wisconsin actually has a longer history than most people realize, Europeans have been living here since the 17th century believe it or not.
Anyway, I'm sure you hear all the time that people love your videos, so I'll say something a little different: I think what you're doing is very important for our nation as well as humanity in general. Lost history is an eternal tragedy, and you're helping to prevent that.
"Ouisconsin"
-Some Frenchman having a stroke, probably
Yeah, no history before that though!
Hey neighbor! I’m from Iowa and gotta say I love Wisconsin cheese, y’all really do have the best dairy products ^^
I grew up in southern cali and lived in georgia but now im here in Wisconsin. I have to say the food here is pretty good. Cheese curds are awesome ,once in a while . I gotta give this recipe a shot.
@@sauercrowder Yeah that would be called prehistory.
It is absolutely amazing to me, how genuine this man’s intentions are. His passion for history, he is literally just… A crazy smart, nice dude. I would definitely have a beer with this guy and let him talk about history with me to his hearts content
It sounds like the precursor to what us wisconsinites know as fried cheese curds. The modern ones are salty cheesy melty goodness but I'll have to try these as well.
Seriously miss good Wisconsin cheese curds.
Lived up north but for the cheese bug.
I just need to say it, that beard really suits you.
Agreed, the facial hair sits well on him.
He grew it himself!
I bet its Organic too.
probably an 18th century beard. i could be wronf
but can I purchase this organic 18th century beard?
I bet those would be great drizzled with honey and a cup of tea on the side.
it dawned on me the moment you dropped the batter into the oil that this must be the grandmother of all Cheetos. ;)
My Grandmother and Mother-in-law cooked like that. No measurements just "add some more until it is right". Great looking recipe. I'll have to try it.
Yummy! Open up your own restaurant, I'll travel from AZ to try out 18th century food.
now that would be a great restaurant to go to :)
Good idea!
If you go to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, you can do just that.

"I love the nutmeg in there" .. Spoken like a true reenacter, , historically correct opinion, everything is better with nutmeg ;-) It does look quite tasty though. Another great video Jon! Perhaps in next Q&A speak about where all this nutmeg comes from in the 1800s, I assume it was a hot commodity!
Matt Hoskins Would a historical person even notice the nutmeg? You probably don't comment on black pepper or salt unless the levels are off, because you are used to it in everything.
Denise Skidmore I’ve used nutmeg for decades and I notice it in every food that has it. It’s very distinct.
Townsend: "so the recipe calls for 10 eggs. Now eggs were smaller back then so 10 would be silly to use. I recommend 8 eggs because as I said you'd have to be insane to use 10"
[Brief pause while eggs are added]
Townsend: "so we're going to use 10 eggs today. "
Something that kind bothers me about some of these videos is that he often doesn't alter the egg amount at all, or does so completely off. I have chicken. They are modern chickens, bred to be egg layers, bred for their eggs, specially gotten from a hatchery for egg laying chickens, happy, healthy little ladies. Their eggs are easily close to half the size of a grocery store egg. An omelette that uses 2-3 grocery store eggs will easily use between 6-8 of their eggs, depending on the egg size (it varies) or the chicken who laid it (also varies). That 10 egg count should be closer to like 5-6, not at all 8, let alone 10!
@@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms TWENTY EGGS
@@googiegress7459 I reread these comments *twice* and cannot tell where you're getting twenty eggs from
@@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms Oh yeah? MAKE IT FORTY XD
As a native Wisconsinite, I thought you did a phenomenal job with a tough recipe. It's hard to make curds with the recipe you used, but you did a phenomenal job
Not really a huge fan of cooking but these videos are still incredibly entertaining, your passion for what you are doing is a awesome thing. Seeing history come alive by someone who really cares is fascinating.
This would take poutine to a whole new level.
Also, boiling hot oil on a tripod? Jon, you're braver than I.
You are aware cheese curd, the process, was invented by French Canadians and already is a main ingredient in poutine right?
If you are a vegetarian, or you don't want to go through the work of making curds, you could try to use paneer, which can be found at most Indian groceries. It's the same thing as the curd you used, except that Indians use an acid, like lemon juice, to create the curd. This makes their curd a bit more tender, but it's essentially the same and the method used to make it is exactly the same.
Lisa Thaviu exactly I m an Indian, n their curd maker is so cruel
And I'm Czech and I went "why don't you just wait for your milk to go curdly."
(Which admittedly not all modern treated milks do. Buuut... basically, milk that went bad isn't necessarily bad at all, okay?)
@JeanClaude Clemenceau Yeah. You probably have to be careful about clean vessels and utensils, but a sour milk as such is... well, probably just an acquired taste, that's all. :-)
It never occurred to me that cheese wasnt technically vegetarian since it involves extracting an enzyme from a baby cow's gut, go figure
“I love the nutmeg in there”. I swear this man could live just off of nutmeg alone haha!
Re-watching this in 2019 and still enjoying every second! This channel is just such a pleasure to immerse yourself into, you can almost smell the food cooking, the wood on the fire...ahhh, just makes me all around happy! Thank you for making me and many others happy!!!
You said making cheese curds would easy to make and I was like "oh good" then I watched that complex tutorial
Medium Rare Potato LOL. Me too, but it all depends on what one is used to. For others, a vehicle engine swap can be second-nature.
Been a subscriber for almost a year now. Absolutely love the cooking segments. Also love the see how people lived back in those time frames and a little short stories that you give. Keep it up it is a great break from my day with knowledge and history.
Man, I'm so glad I've found this channel. Not only am I constantly intrigued by the recipes and techniques of the 18th century, but your enthusiasm for this material honestly brightens my day. Keep up the amazing content!
Hey Jon, hopefully you will read this. I am a long time lurker, I have been watching your videos for a long time now, because I love and crave history and I do like cooking and imagining how they cook back in the day. History is part of my job actually, I'm a tour guide that tours many US east coast cities and I do love my job showing and teaching people history as you do with your videos cooking wise. That being said, I almost cried when you got a spike in views because of Reddit, a website I know and love for many years, it was about time your dedication was shown to the world. In closing, thank you for being there thank you for existing you are needed to remind people how it was back then. No question on my part I just wanted to acknowledge your talent and your commitment, thanks again and I look forward for new videos, as always. Your french canadian friend, John.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind comment.
Cheese curds, fried or not, are a HUGE deal here in Green Bay, WI. They take them very seriously here. Almost as seriously as football. Lol. You can get them at fast food joints, the farmer's market, the grocery store, and restaurants. They're usually savory here. But it's really fascinating to see an 18th century take on them. Very cool. Thanks for sharing this! :)
Always love how excited you are in your videos!
I really like your calm, enthusiastic, bubbly with excitement approach. It makes me want to try them myself! You have a gift for this!
I've never liked a video but after all of your videos so far and the historical background in this one, I had no choice. Can't wait to see more and would love to see more wild game recipes from that era (harder I know)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Another delicious sounding one. I've learned one thing for sure, its all about that nutmeg in 18th century cooking!
Haha! That's what I've gotten out of this channel, too. Their catalog has a great spice combination that includes nutmeg, black pepper, and other things. It's really different, but tasty. It puts me in a different time zone and makes the history more real.
But a quarter of a nutmeg! Is that even safe?
Mike Rowsdower nutmeg and allspice are my favorite seasonings.
Dan Denver nutmeg is fine, it’s coating ‘mace’ is not good in large quantities.
so good
I love how many recipes don't go exactly as you may expect (esp. working with older recipes haha!), and you folks always take it in stride and experience the food you have created. Thanks for taking the time to craft out these recipes, it's a joy to see the historical cooking methods used, and the obvious passion for living history; I always watch and enjoy, in particular the dutch oven recipes!
One of the cooler channels I've come across, you all definitely get the video pacing right. Educational, informative, clear directions and step-by-step tutorials that are easy to follow and since you're working through it it doesn't get boring. Subscribed!
like an ancient ancestor to poutine
Or deep fried cheese curds...
Made me think of poutine as well!
Yeah... "ancient".
You mean Celine Dion would've approved this dish?
Well, he's also done an episode on curly fries, and he's made gravy in many, so while the combination was not documented in period, you also can't rule it out simple because it is undocumented.

Well, you know how to make curds now hahahaha...
+Yannick Stevens every grocery store in the North East has curds in the dairy section. They're there, but I think most people don't regularly buy them.
That's closer to Quebec- I'm in Canadian PNW so even Seattle I've found it hard to find curds.
you can find poutine in the states but its sold under many different names and they tend to be very expensive.

I truly love this guys channel the atmosphere is truly positive
James you are awesome man keep up what you are doing, there are a lot of people that appreciate what you do
I know you can curdle milk with lemon juice. Is that an alternate method that might have been used?
I heard that too. Also another person commenting said that where they were from, you can use white vinegar instead since you're not preserving the cheese.
Yes, and you can also curdle milk with fungies (mould processed agents: Aspergillus niger, microbial "rennet") and also plants, e.g. fig tree, nettle, many thistles, squash... And the easiest and the most ancient way of curdling RAW milk is letting it sit in ca.17°C and lactoferment it = let the wild, spontaneous, natural lactic acid bacteria do their job and curdle, ferment milk. Then warm it, strain it and there you go, the curd is ready - in Poland we call it Twaróg.
Curds are not a common ingredient? You've never been to Wisconsin, have you?
Well as you said, outside of Wisconsin no they're not.
+OlofTheBald
Very big in Canada, especially Quebec

Sir, your enthusiasm for cooking these historical recipes using period techniques is most delightfully infectious :)! Your shows are awesome!
Just saw your channel for the first time, today. Subscribed. Thank you for keeping these old recipes and ideas alive.
These look wonderful! I bet it would be great to swap out apple chunks for the curd, too.
Or add some apple into the mix as a substitute for additional sugar.
Add a little salt, or maybe a caramel drizzle to fancy it up, and this would probably be more popular than that "cronut" craze. Apple Cheese Fritter, mmmnomnom.
Wonderful instructions! Noticed in all your campfire cooking that the smoke always gets in your face ... does it follow you or is it an intentional video special effect?☺

Congrats on the 900k. I love your content, mister.
I love stuff like this! So glad I decided to check out this channel!
These curds look more like cottage cheese than the stuff I'm used to calling curds... This recipe would probably work better with poutine-style cheese curds if you want something more cheese-flavored.
Seraph omg take your 21st century curd ideas to another channel.
This is cottage cheese,.. In some cultures they call yogurt as curd, and in others they call cottage cheese as curds..... Technically they are both curds
Excuse me, lemon juice and vinegar will turn milk to curds too. Just a little heads up!
I wish I could be half as passionate and enthusiastic about anything as this guy is with his channel
Once again an episode of your wonderful channel has left me starving. I'm off to buy and fry some Curds. Thanks Townsends!
One person disagrees with the 18th century.
A little vinegar would also curdle the milk.
Robin Lillian. That's the way we did/do it
This sounds incredible! My mouth is watering just thinking about how good this must taste!
your channel is so great. your enthusiasm is soothing
In response to the cookbook title, was being a "housewife" in the 18th century not as common as I assumed it would be? Did it have any other meanings? I imagined the term was relatively new and came in response to the growing number of women/wives/mothers working outside the home.
From what I've read on the subject working women was alwayse considered fairly normal with a small population women doing at home jobs (sewing) or taking a trade doctor/teacher etc. it was only in the mid twentieth century that things got so goo that that gender roles saying women shouldn't work started. For example look at any poor country and all but the richest can't afford not to work regardless of gender and even age.
Hunter Smith you are new around these parts aren't you, greenhorn? Housewives have been around forever.
So, that is da way?
Hey Jas, I love how accurate and precise you are (i.e., non-chlorinated water, pasteurized vs ultra pasteurized milk). Enjoy your videos. Excellent!
Thank you Jas. Townsends & sons, I very much appreicate the historial education. As a kid I was told that Cheese-curds and whey was Cottage cheese and the liquid that weeps from it. I greatly enjoy watching your experiments and historical presentations.

I love your encouragement for trying new things
