My great aunt, born 1858, had no oven in her home. She made her bread, cakes in front of the fire in her one room cottage and cooked over or in the fire in winter and in her old style,, garden fire pit out in her garden in the warm weather. She died in 1960, at almost 102. I was almost nine and was devastated. I loved watching her cook and keep house. She was single but always sociable and busy, cooking three times a day for herself and a bone who called on her. She was found dead in her chair by a neighbour who smelled her flowering bread burning and went to see if she was OK. Cooking to the last, dear old Aunt Melia! Incidentally we have a bread oven in our ancient cottage, similar to the one used in making the rye and Indian bread. It has a cast iron door and has collapsed inside, but is still an interesting part of the development of this 500+ year old home.
What love you have for your Aunt Melia - it shines through your kind words about her. Thank you so much for sharing such a rich part of your life with us. 💞💞💞
Thank you for sharing your Aunt Melia with us. She sounds like someone everyone would love. Any chance of having your oven repaired? It may be very useful one of these days.
Lifelong Boy Scout here, and my fellow camping enthusiasts will tell you the dutch oven may just be the #1 camping essential. My personal favorite meal is breakfast, we would always make "shipwreck" where you cook frozen hash browns, a breakfast meat, and some nice fresh crunchy onions and peppers in the dutchie and add a bunch of scrambled egg towards the end. Don't forget the cheese! :)
They are so heavy, though. Seems insane to lug around something made of cast iron for cooking when in 2024 there are better modern options. They are great for bread and soups at home, but carrying around one of those is a lot of wasted energy.
Mrs. Barker is wonderful!!! I could listen to her talk all day. Her down-home warmth, reminiscent of my grandma, brought yesteryear to life. Thank you for featuring her. Wish we could see her more.
Absolutely love the channel. I live in the Historic Village of Yorktown, where the decisive battle between Cornwallis and Washington took place, and it’s awesome to see history come to life in other parts of the country too. Norfolk, VA is about 35-40 minutes from where I live. It’s pronounced similar to “Naw-fuk”… not “Nor-folk”. I love the authenticity of your channel and appreciate all of the hard work the crew puts into making these videos. We salute you!! Huzzah!
At the Gilroy Garlic Festival, held every year in Gilroy, CA, which is where most of the garlic in the US is grown, you can get Garlic ANYTHING, including garlic ice cream. I've had it, & it's amazing.
I've been watching your videos for years and they just keep getting better and better! Thanks for informing people in a way that brings humanity into the facts.
OMG Ivy looks just like you in these vids! My mom would just die from those dimples😉 Just turned 55 this year and now am lamenting my youth/wasted years. So nice to still have your family with you on the live streams along with Ryan & Co. Thanks so much for the historical edutainment all these years as time rushes on!
Hey they ain't got to stay wasted. (I'm not sure what's wasted to you but if it's not learning the skills or how to do this stuff it's never too late. One guy was 50 when he started)
I had to stop watching halfway through the stream because I was stuck at work and it was making me too hungry! Watching the rest now. Love this season, love Townsends, and love Jim's Red Pants!
Was so awesome seeing the fried chicken episode again! I still remember it being linked on Reddit and that being mine, and many people's, first introduction. I had always been interested in history, and loved cooking, and never thought of historical cooking. So glad that I was introduced to the channel, because its spawned so much fun with cooking some of these and other historical recipes.
You would LOVEEEE the "Tasting History with Max Miller" channel! He's an amazing storyteller and the history he presents are nuanced and complex. I highly recommend his Thanksgiving episode. "Early American" is also a great historical cooking channel, though it focuses more on the cooking, ASMR style. For pure British history, J. Draper's channel is gold.
I made the onion and potato pie but just couldn't stomach the idea of the boiled egg in it. So, since i live in an era of refrigeration and just slightly better means than calling a a ditch home in this economy, i used a few rashers of thick cut peppered bacon. That, was very good! 👍
I love what you do!!! Thank you so much, the videos are informative and very entertaining! I have to say however, the dad jokester in me about died laughing at 51:16 when Mrs. Barker said her husband calls it "Pork-n-cider". Sorry I couldn't help it! 😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆
Sure wish the Brazier was in stock! Just went through a long ordeal of no grid power and limited cooking ability. Would have loved this Brazier during those difficult days!
I have this channel on auto play and I don’t think I’ve ever felt more like a sicko than I do right now. Soooooo many “That’s what she said” jokes in my head and this particular episode takes the cake. 😂😖
Was wondering, at home I cook, rinse, wipe with fat(oil) but back in oven to dry etc etc, but in the frontier 200 years ago what were they doing to clean and preserve the iron in-between all day travels and meals?
Hi there ! thanks for another great marathon ! Little comment about the pork à la normande , as a french coming from la Bretagne right next to Normandie I can tell you we do love to cook pork with cider and apples to this day and this recipe is just like our rustic family style stews ! add some creme to it at the end for extra ;)
#THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WATCHED 2+ HOURS ON COOKERY SHOW ...❤❤❤ YOUR LOVE TO 18TH CENTURY RECIPES IS TRULY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL #THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS ⚘ ♥ ❤ 💖
Being from the hills of East Tennessee, I LOVE hearing the woman in the striped dress cooking the pork ala Norman talk! She'd fit right in around here. THOSE are the kind of women you want to eat with!
I Fell asleep last night listening to Travis Scott Utopia Album and happened to wake up on this channel, wow so interesting, i am a chef and this blows my mind how cool cooking methods were in the 18th century
Unless my eyes are getting worse it appears to me that you say to rotate the dutch oven 90° and then the lid 90° but what I think I saw was you rotated the bottom 180° and the lid 90°. I get it that the main idea is to rotate everything to balance out the heat. So which is it, the bottom is 90° or half way 180°? Great show!
I've always wanted to let you know about a book I had growing up called George Washington's Breakfast by Jean Fritz. It tells the story of a young boy pretty obsessed with our first president and eager to emulate him in every way possible. He (and his mother) try to answer the question of what George Washington ate for breakfast. The best part is that they start with contemporary sources about breakfast in general that later contrasts with the real answer. My parents and I made the breakfast from the book and it was a lovely Tasting History sort of moment. I'd be interested in early American food history.
A life that was true was difficult and poor, but it is not like the life we live in now. Diabetes and joint diseases were people who were physically stronger, and now with that there is everything available and the ease of life, but I feel lazy and diseases that abound in me at this time. I wish I was living that life as a successful program🙏✝️❤
I follow a very beautiful program, I love life, 18th century, everything is cooking, their clothes, their life, how it was always. I am looking for films about life, 18th cent🙏✝️❤
Cibule i only heard of being used in one place, Czech Republic. There it is just the word for onion. Similar to Spanish cebolla. They likely took it from Latin cepulla. Old high German used Zwibolla. I'm thinking they meant "bulb onion" (aka onion)
Real chicken tastes sooo good, the industrial birds we get today have no flavor, they are just nasty little things that were fed grains, sprayed with seed oil, and the fat on the bird is just as nasty as the meat. thanks for the video
Splash a bit of your chicken dip in the oil , if it sizzels your oil is at the right temp 👍 4 generations strong , I can put 11 herbs and spices to shame 😅 happy frying 😊

Wouldn't it be wonderful to watch her now. I would have loved to have talked to her about her experiences. Thanks for sharing! ❤
I think ur great aunt was lucky to pass at hm, not sick and miserable in an institution 😊
Thank you for sharing your Aunt Melia with us. She sounds like someone everyone would love. Any chance of having your oven repaired? It may be very useful one of these days.
If you don't mind me asking, what does "...a bone who called on her" mean? I'm not a native English speaker😅. Very heartwarming story btw❤
Such a binge watchable channel this, the Bob Ross of cookery and history!
Except Bob never mentioned eating squirrels. Or how he used to kill commies.
Wonderful call. Dude exudes Bob Ross vibes.

I have my Dutch oven and other cast iron pans from my Scouting days here in my kitchen, they're still great in my oven!
Pass the dutchie!
They are so heavy, though. Seems insane to lug around something made of cast iron for cooking when in 2024 there are better modern options. They are great for bread and soups at home, but carrying around one of those is a lot of wasted energy.
Mrs. Barker is wonderful!!! I could listen to her talk all day. Her down-home warmth, reminiscent of my grandma, brought yesteryear to life.
Thank you for featuring her. Wish we could see her more.
I just left a comment that listening to her brought me right back to my Kansas childhood.
i like how he appreciates the little things in life so much.
Those are the best things, truly.
Especially food. 😂
He is so life-affirming. That`s why I love to watch his channel. Ryan, too. The best of men!
I like his smile
@@jackcui4048No you don't. 😮
Ywk
anything with meat, potatoes, oignons and carrots taste fantastic
Townsend has the best cooking show on the net!!!!
The Townsends channel is one of my top 5 favorite UA-cam channels hands down. Thank you for such amazing content!
Man, I'm currently sick in bed and I couldn't love this channel more, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoy it!
Drink plenty of mint tea with ginger,
@@michaelpreston233 Thanks, man! :D
Why is this such a cozy, informative, and make you feel better video? ❤🥰🙌 Thank you!🙏

You know the food is gonna be on point when John throws down the nutmeg! Boom! 😂❤
I rarely come by, only when I remember, because the UA-cam algorithm is terrible. But every time I do, I'm so pleased with what I find. Great work.
I love the idea of cheese made beside a cracklin campfire. Sounds like a cheese-lover's idea for an awesome date night.
That pork and cider is a must make!!
And the "Date lady" oh how adorable!!!!!!!!!! Ivy stepping into das's footsteps, just cuter.

That whole Dutch oven cooking lesson was so interesting, and that bread looks delicious.
thank you for appreciating,documenting and sharing historical cooking.
I made the onion and potato pie but just couldn't stomach the idea of the boiled egg in it. So, since i live in an era of refrigeration and just slightly better means than calling a a ditch home in this economy, i used a few rashers of thick cut peppered bacon. That, was very good! 👍
Not a weird substitution, but definitely an odd aversion.
This video is better than black hawk down
We bake that way in Jamaicanin the 1990s .puddings abd bread came out great.❤
Listening to Mrs. Barker gave me quite a bit of nostalgia for my childhood, back in Kansas..
I REALLY like these cooking marathon videos! Thanks for doing this.
Wonderful and Ivy is so special , like you, so enthusiastic and warm !!!
So happy for this marathon on a rainy day!
Ya know, I camped my whole life and am STILL learning things! Love it!❤❤❤
Why is this such a cozy, informative, and make you feel better video? ❤🥰🙌 Thank you!🙏
you can curdle milk immediately with lemon jiuce You don't need rennet. You get a type of paneer
I love what you do!!! Thank you so much, the videos are informative and very entertaining! I have to say however, the dad jokester in me about died laughing at 51:16 when Mrs. Barker said her husband calls it "Pork-n-cider". Sorry I couldn't help it! 😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆
That pork and apple dish sounds fantastic! The receit is filed in the brain! Lol
Sure wish the Brazier was in stock! Just went through a long ordeal of no grid power and limited cooking ability. Would have loved this Brazier during those difficult days!
I remember the first time I had heard about parmesan ice cream was from The Supersizers Go. Look at you, Townsends, stepping the game up!
19:40 you can use non alcoholic beer. Close enough
I have this channel on auto play and I don’t think I’ve ever felt more like a sicko than I do right now. Soooooo many “That’s what she said” jokes in my head and this particular episode takes the cake. 😂😖
I was stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB in the U.P. in the early 70's and would buy these.
do not watch while hungry. Its torture because everything looks delicious
Deep frying over an open fire. Gotta have balls of solid rock for that! (Sorry for the crudeness, but it had to be said!)
Was wondering, at home I cook, rinse, wipe with fat(oil) but back in oven to dry etc etc, but in the frontier 200 years ago what were they doing to clean and preserve the iron in-between all day travels and meals?
mushrooms,butter,a tiny bit of water in a pan,salt this is my dinner tonight
I love Mrs. Barker! Her manner of speech is so soothing😃
Informative, entertaining, and not going to lie a lot of the recipes look DELICIOUS!
It’s just me: binge-watching Jon cook😊🍽️
I love these marathon cooking videos. Season 8 has been especially delicious.
Onion pie is called Zwiebacken also from germany I make it all the time. But without eggs. And also without apple and potatoes.
Hi there ! thanks for another great marathon ! Little comment about the pork à la normande , as a french coming from la Bretagne right next to Normandie I can tell you we do love to cook pork with cider and apples to this day and this recipe is just like our rustic family style stews ! add some creme to it at the end for extra ;)
I wouldn’t want to live in the 18th century but I wouldn’t shy away from this food
#THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WATCHED 2+ HOURS ON COOKERY SHOW ...❤❤❤
YOUR LOVE TO 18TH CENTURY RECIPES IS TRULY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL
#THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS ⚘ ♥ ❤ 💖
Great program on back to the past, Thanks much
Amazing videos, tried a few of the recipes amazing ...we can learn alot from history
I so appreciate these marvelous videos.
That malt vinegar make it taste so good 😊.
I’ll try it .
I don’t have deep frying Dutch oven .
There are people still have that down to earth life, Its amazing sweet, I must admit i do envy them......
My man just baked a whole dutch oven full of seared brick and potatoes 😂💀⚰️
Fried parsley is so amazing!
That looks so good!
Actually drooling!
The Romans cooked pork and apples with cider vinegar 2000 yrs ago.
You had me at " fried chicken " !
Being from the hills of East Tennessee, I LOVE hearing the woman in the striped dress cooking the pork ala Norman talk! She'd fit right in around here. THOSE are the kind of women you want to eat with!
We would be using Ramps, or wild onions in the south east part of the country
nice slightly nervous man in a pirate hat cooks the most delicious food you've ever seen in your entire life for two straight hours
Pirate hat?? What pirate hat??
Which man is slightly nervous?
oooooh, I love the nutmeg ! yeah, we know ! haha !
She is a natural actor
John, you need to be on PBS.
Always a banger!
I Fell asleep last night listening to Travis Scott Utopia Album and happened to wake up on this channel, wow so interesting, i am a chef and this blows my mind how cool cooking methods were in the 18th century
I only make my Yankee pot roast in my dutch oven 💝
Can also learn from cowboy Kent Rollins on Dutch oven cooking.
Happy Crocktober! One of my favorite recipes is chicken apple stew.
Unless my eyes are getting worse it appears to me that you say to rotate the dutch oven 90° and then the lid 90° but what I think I saw was you rotated the bottom 180° and the lid 90°. I get it that the main idea is to rotate everything to balance out the heat. So which is it, the bottom is 90° or half way 180°? Great show!
just rotate it weirdo. you don't need a ruler 😅😅
I'd just rewatch it and copy what ever he does.
I've always wanted to let you know about a book I had growing up called George Washington's Breakfast by Jean Fritz.

I would have opted to fry chicken in a spider fry pan with less oil rather than the deep fry method over open flame you used. Nice recipe.
Fried parsley is amazing!❤
I liked this one more than all your rest.
May you have all that you want and want all that you have!
If you are remotely close and a fan of this channel then Connor Prairie is well worth the trip.
A life that was true was difficult and poor, but it is not like the life we live in now. Diabetes and joint diseases were people who were physically stronger, and now with that there is everything available and the ease of life, but I feel lazy and diseases that abound in me at this time. I wish I was living that life as a successful program🙏✝️❤
I’m here to say I love history and food
very cool video- need to try the recipe!
Winner, winner chicken dinner!
I follow a very beautiful program, I love life, 18th century, everything is cooking, their clothes, their life, how it was always. I am looking for films about life, 18th cent🙏✝️❤
@46:00 Is she a ventriloquist? Her mouth never moves. It entranced me to no ends.
The doggo is helping! 😊
Looks yumi
You need to tell us where to get cook books that you get thoes recipes from!!!❤❤😢😢
this channel is awesome ...
Cibule i only heard of being used in one place, Czech Republic. There it is just the word for onion. Similar to Spanish cebolla. They likely took it from Latin cepulla. Old high German used Zwibolla.
I'm thinking they meant "bulb onion" (aka onion)
I always misread the title as 18th century section 8 cooking lmaoo
OG youtuber
Real chicken tastes sooo good, the industrial birds we get today have no flavor, they are just nasty little things that were fed grains, sprayed with seed oil, and the fat on the bird is just as nasty as the meat. thanks for the video
Probably in the 18th Century they fried the older laying hens and not the younger fryers we have today.
Splash a bit of your chicken dip in the oil , if it sizzels your oil is at the right temp 👍 4 generations strong , I can put 11 herbs and spices to shame 😅 happy frying 😊
1:10:03 chicken salad
People these times shouldve known how to make cheese since they made curd, this is one key to the psyop
This is the lost way recovered.
I love your daughter in this!
Who all came here after playing Red Dead Redemption 2 ? 😂
Lol, that’s how I originally found this channel back in the day! amazing game and an amazing channel.
YEP ! Pearson would be proud ! lol
