This video makes me miss my grandma more and more. I grew up in her kitchen, working along side her every day. She was a simple lady who cooked as simply as this video. It goes to remind me how complicated life has gotten in the last 50 years or so. Its a great reminder to just slow down and its ok to be simple from time to time.
Wow, what a blessing. I didn’t have the gift of grandparents and was raised by my mother, after our father left my mom with my sister: 7 & 2, my brother was just an infant & I was 4.5 yo. Mom never talked much about anything because she had to work such long hours to provide for us 4 children on her own, no help or govt assistance-ever. Bless her heart, no time to date/remarry and certainly no time to cook and teach my sisters or I anything. Her own mother died in a terrible car accident when I was only a year old. I’ve always been far more interested in visiting with my friend’s parents & grandparents while they couldn’t have cared less. I missed out on so much. I never got to experience all of the wonderful stories and traditions from the past. I love this channel and all of these wonderful videos. I would be greatly honored to read any stories/traditions/memories you would be willing to share with me, a truly a priceless gift☺️.
I rub the entire inside cavity with butter. I place carrots, celery, onions and fresh herbs like rosemary branches inside the cavity. I Rub butter over the entire turkey, add seasons, and place it in a Reynolds cooking bag. The butter browns the bird and it's very moist. Perfect every time.
My mother's mother didn't cook and never really learned how. But we loved Thanksgiving at her house because she bought all the food ready made at Big Chain cafeteria. Every holiday Big Chain basically had carry out catering!
I’d LOVE to read stories anyone would like to share about their experiences growing up during these times…40’s, 50’s, 60’s...& earlier if possible. I was born in the 70’s but recall very little. It is such a gift to be able to hear stories passed down & I’d love to share & preserve your cherished memories in a book I’d like to write so the REAL America, when it WAS truly great, can be remembered & not lost on generations x, y, z, etc. Sadly, too many my age and younger do not take, or make, time to LISTEN, learn, preserve & pass on such precious history, memories, traditions and advice, truly a shame😔. We have so much to learn from your generation, so anyone who is 60+years old, and you’d be willing to share, please reply to this message. Or if you have a story that’s been passed down from your parents &/or grandparents, please share as well. I am seeking out people who’d like to share these personal stories with me. Anything and everything you are willing to share; your life story, a special memory or even a recipe & how to cook the recipe the way you did/do. I didn’t have the gift of grandparents and was raised by my mother after my father left us when I was just 4 years old. Mom never talked much about anything because she had to work so hard to provide for us, 4 children, on her own and never had any help from anyone, & bless her heart, no time to date/remarry. Makes me truly sad for her and she was always working to give us the best life she could. I’m very grateful for her work ethic and determination to never give up. That speaks volumes of her generation and I definitely learned from watching her, but she never had time to really share her stories with me and what it was like to grow up during this wonderful time when things were, in my humble opinion, the best! I would’ve loved to have lived any time in the past and to have experienced what people were like before all of technology ruined being neighborly; we’ve lived on our street for over 7 years & my family barely knows any of the neighbors. I’ve made efforts, but they do not seem the least bit interested. UA-cam is the only social media I post on, I don’t care for the “it’s all about me” & let me post every mundane thing I do in one day, every day with the world. It’s great for some and I’m not saying it can’t have benefits if you live far away from family & friends to share pictures and information through the various social media platforms, but I prefer to either talk to them on the phone, or even better...see them. I seem to think differently than people my age & especially those younger than myself, and I’ve always been far more interested in visiting with my friend’s parents & grandparents. I feel that I missed out on the wonderful stories and traditions from the past and some truly great advice...you have been there and done it and I would love to hear all about it. I want to share it all with my school aged child. I let her know how important it is to listen, visit & respect our elders and learn from their experiences and memories. I would be honored & grateful to read your stories; you’d be giving me a priceless gift☺️. If you’re interested, reply here & I will send you my contact info. Thank you. Sincerely, Suzy
Classic video, it's true that turkey in those days was usually just served for Thanksgiving. I could have done without the 'discarded parts' at 01:41 ☺
I thought was normal..? 😭 me and my mom always cut up fresh vegetables for the stuffing. Oddly enough I seen rice used as stuffing which was kinda weird in my opinion.
"WOW" notice the BELLS Seasoning in the box that she put on the dressing? We still buy BELLS Seasoning today. it's good stuff. Just like mom used to make way back when I was a kid.
I’d LOVE to hear any & all stories anyone would like to share about their experiences growing up during these times, I am on that truly loves to hear stories from times past. It’s such a gift to be able to hear stories passed down and sadly so many don’t care-their LOSS. We have so much to learn from the Baby Boomer generation, & of course older generations as well, & I am seeking out ppl who’d like to share their personal stories w/me. What a gift☺️.
@@AngieS_91 Us baby boomers are dying off. And our stories will die with us... It's funny, it's become an insult to call someone a 'boomer' but we were very lucky to have grown up as we did. I cherish those years and memories. Would not trade them for being young today at all...
its amazing how the food displayed on this program still has the power to tempt being as it has been eating ,digested and eliminated now some 60 + years ago! human nature its ours until either ill health are death ends it.
The jelly roll? Put it in the fridge for about an hour before slicing it. It’ll cut more easily and keep its shape. Cook a few minutes longer to compensate for lower temperature.
That white steel kitchen cabinetry seen in some of the backgrounds is 100% identical to the kitchen that I grew up in, post-war Rockford Illinois. Our house was built in a completely new neighborhood in 1951. Every family was a combo of a WW2 veteran of some type, a gal and a couple (or more) children. The town's population was fully segregated by race until the late 1960s.
I see all the "cross contamination" comments and I have yet so see where she actually does that. In fact the only way that would happen from what's in this video would be if she never cleaned her kitchen, or her hands. But that would be an assumption of something we don't see in the video.
To all you kids......those tools in the beginning are what's called a pencil and paper. You apply pressure with the pencil to the paper and string a number of symbols...known as letters....to the paper. You take that "list" to what used to be called a grocery store and select the items needed. If you want to be"edgy" you can use paper with numbers and letters printed with green dye to actually pay for your items. On the ride home home be sure to tune into an "AM" radio station.😉😁 The next lesson will be about an item known as a "fountain pen".
What in the world was going on with the very odd vocal sound and "accent" (both men and women) that people spoke with in 1950s documentary / public service, video?
Not different from some of the family recipes I've had to adjust. I can't stand the amounts of salt they used. Then again, salt was a preservative for them and its health problems were no really focused on until many decades later.
I could watch these videos all day ❤️
I simply adore this channel

Liz F Yes!!! As I get older I find it’s ok to relax and enjoy the cooking.

Sounds delish! Thank u, now I’ve got some notes to cook my very 1st Turkey this Thanksgiving 🦃...ah how I love Thanksgiving dinner & leftovers!
We lather ours in butter. We don’t stuff it though. And we cook it in those bags that you cook an oven makes it extra tender.
Enjoyed the turkey lacing! And the carefree disregard for salmonella.
But ,did they die??
make turkey great again!
My mother's mother didn't cook and never really learned how. But we loved Thanksgiving at her house because she bought all the food ready made at Big Chain cafeteria. Every holiday Big Chain basically had carry out catering!

Love that dudes robe at 9:51.😆 Awesome!

Funny how she’s not worried about touching everything with her turkey hands...🤑
there were no sicknesses in 1950s
@@multiply67 funny 😆
@@multiply67 Yes there was, but we weren’t so paranoid & schizophrenic as we are now....especially NOW 7/14/2021.
They didn't have all the myriad of health problems, allergies and cancers we have today.
Really makes you think.
Sounds good enough to eat Yum!!!
thats how you advertise
Awesome

Are you for real? 😭 what year were you born?
People just don't talk like this anymore. Notice her cadence and accent.
My step-grandmother does.
Roll up those sleeves and wash your hands after touching that raw turkey!
You should roll up your sleeves and wash your hands before touching
Before and after. Like chicken, turkey contains salmonella.
Wow
Yep my childhood. Not as fancy as these folks.
Yuumm
Funny how little things have changed ...
What's the original name of this video?
a few lessons for Jamie Oliver here..
What in the world was going on with the very odd vocal sound and "accent" (both men and women) that people spoke with in 1950s documentary / public service, video?
Watching her raw turkey riddled hands touching the faucet, seasoning, and everything else In the kitchen stresses me outtttttt!!
😁😁
Did she stand thier for 3 hours rubbing that turkey with water
Yikes😵All that cross contamination!!
There's a thing called editing.
I go under the skin with an herb butter I don't see her doing that
You said that is what YOU DO, but she DOES NOT.
☹️ noooo she’s touching everything with her slimy nasty raw bird hands!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!
SIMMER DOWN, IT'S JUST TV.
;)
thumbs up if you're poor and use instant stuffing in a box
GodKing804 It’s really about how much money. It’s more about time.
@@elderlypoodle9181 only poor people cant afford time
Discarded parts...feet, giblets, innards... smh....discard them my way....know what to do with them
WHERE TF IS THE SEASONING!
That's a Lot of salt.
Not different from some of the family recipes I've had to adjust. I can't stand the amounts of salt they used. Then again, salt was a preservative for them and its health problems were no really focused on until many decades later.
Many families would also season the turkey with salt and pepper before roasting too.
mennnnn kai he
