That's the stuff right there😊 I make this dressing for German potato salad too
It sure is!
I grew up in Elysburg eating this - always a favorite! I used to make it for my husband when we were first married but haven’t made it probably at least 20 years. I can’t remember exactly how my mom taught me to make it but your method is probably very close. Now I can make this delicious dish again. Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! Elysburg is my neighbor!
What you are doing is keeping history alive some of these are so common place that we just don't talk about them in Parts of Pa and that could make them just disappear thank goodness for your channel keep up the good work
Thanks very much! My whole purpose is to keep these recipes and our food culture alive for future generations!
Boy the memories. My grandma made this every spring. Said it helped clean the blood after a long winter. We have a little Mennonite meat market that cures their own bacon. You're right don't buy cheap bacon. Take care.
Your Grandma was right! Thanks for watching, Tim!
I'm trying that. Used live in Pennsylvania. Stuck in western ny. My wife is addicted to maple syrup. Love your channel. Thanks Jim Day
My mother's family is from western NY, the South Dayton area. Her family, my cousins, have their own sugar shack, so the love of maple is strong in this house! Check them out and thanks so much for watching! My parent's farm is in southern tier NYS near bath. facebook.com/Dyes-Maple-Syrup-Company-352067464486/
Even the way you talk brings me comfort! So legit! Trapped in CA but heart vibes in Abbottstown, Cross Keys and Lancaster.
When I was a a little girl we always ate this. Thanik you for sharing.
You're welcome!
My mom used to make this by special request for my Dad when we were growing up. We made it pretty much the exact same way you do. Thanks again for the inspiration and trip down memory lane. Now, I'm going to make a batch for my Dad, who I know yearns for the cooking from his childhood in Sunbury, PA.
I hope he enjoys it! You guys must be out of the area now. I know a lot of folks out of the area that have been missing these regional favorites!
We moved to Baltimore County, MD when I was born. All of my extended family still lives in central PA. My grandmother was one of 17 children-big family. We frequently travel back to PA to visit. Definitely a different way of life and cooking than what I’ve experienced in Baltimore.
Small world. I spent a lot of time at a dear friend's Morgan horse farm on Old Court Rd. And 2 of my rescue pups came from Randallstown. I used to take the kids to the Aquarium and Inner Harbor. I haven't been back since she passed away in 2014. Baltimore is a cool town. I love what cities have to offer and enjoy visiting once in a while, like Manhattan, DC, Philly and Boston. And then, I enjoy coming home. Lol. Very different, indeed! The closest I get now is Frederick, where one of my other best friends live.
Indeed, a small world. For me, the nostalgia of the PA Dutch style cooking, particularly from the people in the area where my parents are from, makes me really happy. My mother (from Selinsgrove), who was the glue of our family and the family cook, passed away in 2016. Since then, I've been periodically cooking the food of my father's childhood for him. Your channel has given me a lot of inspiration and tips which will help me keep this food culture alive with my kids and family. Many thanks again.
This is a favorite of my grandmother and I watched her enough to write it down. We love having the vinegar in our food, it’s amazing in hot bacon dressing
Always tease a friend who had to take Englush classes in college because she spoke a lot of Dutch. She was from Rough and Ready, a close town now part of Lancster,PA. I mentioned a dandelion dinner held for the public and she laughed at me.
LOL! I bet she did. But they are popular here very spring and we look forward to them!
Her name is Verna , not going to print last name. She had a large family growing up.
@@hazelbrungard1623 We have some of those around here. One friend has 10 kids and another 13. Wooo! Never a dull moment, lol! But they have huge gardens etc. Nice way to grow up.
My Mom always made her own bacon dressing. I tend to pick up a jar of "Wos Wit" at the supermarket but, you inspire me to make my own.
That stuff isn't bad in a pinch but nothing beats homemade for sure!
I'm so thankful for this recipe your sharing.i tried to get the recipe icharlues had from corporate office,they would not budge .this looks to be what I'm looking for..thank you..keep up great work.
It's the real deal here for many generations so I hope it's what you've been looking for!
Wow awesome video. I've never heard of this recipe
Thanks so much! most of what I share is very regional to here, although i'll do a bit of everything. Just starting to go through your vids and enjoying them, always like when i find a new cool cooking channel!
Thank you
This wasn't what I expected, but I couldn't stop watching. I think it was your confidence. I enjoyed your recipe, it's pretty tasty. I've appreciated all edible flowers in my food. We had a garden of nastursums, sorrel and purslane. Yum
Thank you so much! I love edibles. I didn't get a chance to make my violet jelly this year. But I've been eating lots of squash blossoms which I just love dipped in tempura and fried.
I am there for the dressings :-)) dandelion...intruiging ;-)
LOL, it's good, I'd never steer you wrong! Try it on regular lettuce or greens first!
My mother used to make this dressing with endive and this dressing was the only way she could get my father to eat spinach. A few years back, her brother sent her a batch of dandelion greens (from PA to Florida where she lived). You'd have thought she'd struck gold!
That is gold! Fresh dandelion greens are wonderful. Endive is more bitter! Plus, she probably loved the good memories, too!
Love this video so much . thank you😊
I know its 7 yrs old but it just came through my feed right now. Greetings from B.C Canada
You are so welcome!
Greetings and glad it came through no matter when!
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot indeed! I will now enjoy some of your more recent videos as I'm subscribed. You've got that good down home vibe that I really appreciate. God bless you
I am half PA dutch, miss the wonderful unique meals we had when we lived there. Im big into nutrition research and healthful foods. Want to tell people that I have an older book called "the way of herbs" and some others. Dandelion is listed as.a potential treatment for literally all major and minor diseases. It blew my mind as.someone who had already been researching for years to see just how amazing it apparently is. We should all be taking supplements of it.
Dandelion has long been known for it's medicinal properties and utilized by rural folks around here for a long time!
I never knew that you could eat dandelions till someone made jelly from it. This did look really good.
It is yummy, and there are actually teas and jellies and wine and other ways to prepare it!
That's an excellent dish, looks delicious..and something the forefathers would have eaten, prepared in the same manner. There are lessons to be learned in culinary history that are equally important as the popular histories...Thanks for the recipe, think I'll try it :-)
Thanks Jeff! I try to give the history as much as possible, like in my chicken and waffles vid. I think it's a really important part of the culture that is getting lost.
Awesome! Thanks!
You're welcome!
I've put dandelion in salads (much to my husband's unhappiness) but never put a hot bacon dressing over. Yum!!!
It's so good! Absolutely wonderful!
I never ate Dandelion but my grandfather used to.
It's good and so good for you! Besides, anything with with bacon dressing on it tastes good, LOL! Thanks for watching, Panda!
Looks fantastic as always. Great share
Thanks so much!
looked super good
happy easter to you and yours
Thanks so much, Drew!
Now the dandelions surprised me (although announced in the title) in this dish. Liked the camera angle, too. Clever :-))
They are very good and have good medicinal qualities too!
What a delicious and beautiful looking recipe!
Thank you! PA Dutch at it's finest!
I'll say! I'll take a bowl full of that hot bacon dressing, please! mmmmm
more more more love your site grew up with penna dutch cooking
Awe, thanks! Check out the playlists, I've got lots!
A classic!
It sure is, thank you!
Thank you I have been looking for a good recipe and yours is perfect I’ve tried others that were just vinegar taste and this is the taste I remember and now I know how thanks so much
You're very welcome!
Making a roux is new for me. I'll give it a shot.
It's a good basic skill to learn!
Finally a PA Dutch channel! Thankyou. My grandma used to make this with lettuce, but she didn't use flour. This and PA Dutch pot pie was my favorite. I have a question for you. My grandma used to eat mash potatoes topped with sauerkraut and ketchup on top of that. Was this a PA Dutch meal? I remember her eating this and I would wrinkle my nose at it :) It may have been just something she put together... not sure? The older I get the more want to know about my PA Dutch heritage. Thank you again for these videos.. they bring back memories
Actually, yes, we eat kraut over mashed taters when we make pork and kraut, and some of us do add ketchup. Actually, a lot of folks here add ketchup to everything, LOL. Thanks for watching and I'd be glad to take requests or help in any way.
BTW--Look through my vids, I did pot pie as well.
looks delicious! Is that a stove top kettle on the stove? I was reading an article recently about how you don't have electric kettles in North America. Is that really true?
Thank you! Yup, that's a stove top kettle because that's what I like, along with our keurig, LOL. Of course we have electric kettles in North America, LOL. What ninny said that? I personally don't use one as I like my old gas stove and kettle, but the keurig does the same pretty much. Mike's a coffee drinker and I'm the tea drinker. I think have just about electric everything here, including pressure cookers. (Nope, I don't use those either, LOL).
Hey Helga great site! We wanted to say thank you so much for checking our site out! You have a lot of great videos! Love your Cast Iron , use ours all the time!
Oh, thanks for checking me out! Yes, I love my cast iron and I do dutch oven cooking as well when I camp and the weather cooperates, LOL.
Wish I could give you 100 thumbs up. Yummy.
Thank you!
hum never heard of that it looked very good though might have to try it...
Thanks for watching, Shane! You may like it!
I used mine with a salad and deli meat but it came out perfect.i don't eat dandilions but I have seen people who have
Oh, it's good that way, too, but spring dandelion is wonderful!
WOW!! Awesome, thank you sooooo much!!
Thank you!
We eat the blossoms also. Fry the up in butter like you would (well, we do anyway) zucchini. Dip in beaten eggs and coat with flour.
I like the blossoms, too, but Mike isn't a fan. For blossoms including squash blossoms, I make a tempura to dip them in and fry them. Wonderful. I tried this and love it! www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tempura-fried-squash-blossoms-with-tomato-sauce-recipe-1940755
@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot thank you for the suggestion. I will have to give this a try.
I finally made it..thank you thank you..your so kind..yaaaaaay..
So glad you liked it!
Yum yum yum yummy 😋 I subscribed. Nice to meet you at Dark Matter live!
Thanks so much!
Mmmmm I'm hungry now!!
LOL, then my job is done! Thanks for watching!
YUMMMM Thank you for sharing! Glad I found this channel!
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy hearing the history behind the dish. I think the tonic portion is the apple cider vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar is certainly beneficial, but these greens also contain vitamins C and B6, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, iron (crucial for generating red blood cells), potassium (to help regulate heart rate and blood pressure), and manganese. Other nutrients present in dandelion greens include folate, magnesium, phosphorus, and copper.
Digestive AidDandelion acts as a mild laxative that promotes digestion,stimulates appetite, and balances the natural and beneficial bacteria in the
intestines. It can increase the release of stomach acid and bile to aid
digestion, especially of fats.KidneyThis weed-like superfood is a diuretic that helps thekidneys clear out waste, salt, and excess water by increasing urine production.
In French it is called pissenlit, which translates roughly to “wet the bed.” This
inhibits microbial growth in the urinary system too. Dandelion also replaces
some of the potassium lost in the process.LiverDandelion has been shown to improve liver function byremoving toxins and reestablishing hydration and electrolyte balance. It also
increases the release of bile.AntioxidantsEvery part of the dandelion plant is rich in antioxidantsthat prevent free-radical damage to cells and DNA, {6avqtgje} slowing down the
aging process in our cells. It is rich in vitamin C and vitamin A as
beta-carotene and increases the liver's production of superoxide dismutase.Cancer
The ability to combat cancer is not a claim made lightly,but dandelion seems to show promise in study after study after study. Dandelion
may slow cancer's growth and prevent it from spreading. The leaves are
especially rich in the antioxidants and phytonutrients that combat cancer.DiabetesRecent animal studies show dandelion helps regulate bloodsugar and insulin levels. Most of this is done through its ability to control
lipid levels.High Blood PressureAs a diuretic, dandelion increases urination which thenlowers blood pressure. The fiber and potassium in dandelion also help regulate
blood pressure.CholesterolAnimal studies have shown how dandelion lowers and controlscholesterol levels while improving cholesterol ratios by raising HDL.GallbladderDandelion increases bile production and reduces inflammationto help with gallbladder problems and blockages.InflammationDandelion contains essential fatty acids, antioxidants, andphytonutrients that all reduce inflammation throughout the body. This can
relieve pain and swelling.Immune SystemStudies also show that dandelion boosts immune function andfights off microbes and fungi.Dandelion leaves, flowers, and roots are all edible. They
have a slightly bitter flavor that can be minimized by harvesting them in the
fall or spring. The young leaves are tenderer and less bitter, making a great
addition to raw salads. Cooking dandelion cuts the bitter flavor of both the
leaves and the roots.Dandelion is generally considered safe in food and medicinal
levels. Some people may have allergic reactions to dandelion. Anyone with an
allergy to ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold, chamomile, yarrow, or daisy should
avoid dandelion, and anyone pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs
should talk to a health care professional before adding something new to their
diet.
Another awesome recipe.
Thank you!
great video
Thank you!
Awesome!!! ;-)
Thanks so much, Bill! I love your vids, and we'll be camping next week, first of the season. Plan to do some dutch oven cooking, which make me usually think of you, LOL!
Look great Helga. Never tried it before. Love the sauce over top. Cheers.
Thanks, Steve, I know you'd like this!
LOL!!!! Your definitely right!!! It's all better with bacon!!!! Great video Helga Cheers 🍻
Thanks for watching, 1Wild!
YUM !!!
Thank you!
yum, dandelion wine
It's wonderful!
Ya I think I will pass on the dandelions. I see some people out in the fields picking them. I would have a hard time swallowing. Looked good though.
You can do it with salad greens as well. Heck the bacon dressing on the tater with no greens is yummy, too, LOL! Thanks for watching!
So, it's best before the yellow flower blooms? And once it's goes fluffy?
It is best before any blooming or going to seed. Once that happens, it tends to get bitter. before flowering, they are tender and sweeter!
saw you on dark and just subscribed
Thank you!
Oh yes, that looks great.
Thanks for watching, Terry! Your grilling pictures you post to instagram kill me, LOL!
Thanks. Keep the cooking videos coming though. 😊
With the dandelion greens, did you drop them in boiling water to cook them or are they fresh from the garden (not cooked)?
They are fresh from the lawn or wherever they grew and we picked them. Wash them off good and serve!
looks delicious. 😋
Thanks so much!
Love the shirt! I can't wait to come and visit. Hey, how did my font change? (ha ha) Really, I don't know what I did. lol
LOL! Hope you can and bring Doris with you!
Me too, but you know how animals can keep you tied down.
Dude, no excuses! I have 9 horses, 16 chickens, dogs, cats and a goat and 'I" get away, LOL! (I am blessed with a good friend, though, who does my chores!)
Friends are important!
oh my God Helga
looks yummie
Mikes so blessed having you and his skills
LOL, guess we make a good team!
Is this basically the same as Löwenzahnsalat? As far as the greens and dressing? I'm getting ready to make this but had a recipe for Löwenzahnsalat as well and they are very similar except the Löwenzahnsalat recipe I have doesn't call for four.
Yes, it is a dandelion salad, but the dressing is a sweet and sour hot bacon dressing and maybe thicker than what you may be used to. Let me know what you think. I love this.
Discovered your channel through dark matter. I love all of this! Keep them coming :3
Thanks so much!
oh my Helga Bacon Dressing yummm.... Yeah cheap bacon is only good at the camp.Everything is better with bacon... I just PM you
Ha, I don't use cheap bacon even then, I eat WELL when we camp! Which, we're doing next week! Can't wait! Some dutch oven cooking coming! Thanks for watching Spongie!
schweeet ...!!
can't wait to try the sauce
Thanks, I hope you like it!
give Mike a kiss :)
Oooo looks amazing!!!
I'm a ham lovin' fool!
Thank you! What's not to love about ham and bacon?
Looks like my grandma’s
Thank you!
kiss'in wears out, cook'n don't!!
LOL! It's true, lol!
endive is good in beans and green, im part italian !! umm!!
Agreed!
Endive is good to use in place of Dandelion greens
I gained weight just watching
Jajaja
Thanks for watching, Richard! While definitely not low fat, it's something we eat only a couple times a year. I rationalize the dandelion makes up for it, LOL!
