People are all surprised about eating pine bark. Do they not realize cinnamon is the bark of a tree as well? Birch bark is a common flavor component of root beer. Aspirin is just synthesized willow bark. Cherry, slippery elm, beech, poplar and more. So many barks still in common use
silverlightx6 I had birch bark beer.... Like a pop... Like root beer. It tasted a bit more bitter than ginger beer... But enough sugar to make it taste good! When I was small a family made all these homemade soda pops!
Yeah, all that is true... but they're not being eaten in any significant volume either. There is actually tree cellulose being added to a lot of processed foods and eaten at a larger scale- pre-shredded parmesan is the latest controversy on it, but that is believed to be connected to some gastrointestinal issues. It would be interesting to see if any health problems are connected to eating the pine bark in volume- or if something about it specifically does not bother the gut. At best it's an indigestible bulking agent with a pine flavor- but pre-modern science communities wouldn't really know it wasn't digestible, they'd just feel less hungry.
Takes 2 bites, doesn't enjoy them but takes a third bite just to make sure she has described the cookie thoroughly. You are awesome for taking that extra bite for the viewers!
Hahaha, I know, she does do that a lot. But I loveand admire the fact that even if she doesn't like something, she will always find something good to say about it. She never over exaggerates her reactions to the things she tries. Love her.
So far Emmy has cooked and tried many things, so that we don't necessarily have to: guts, bugs, saw-dust, old MREs, many other animals, fruits we never heard about. I don't remember how small her channel was when I stumbled upon her videos, but I hope she can make many, many more of them, and I feel happy for her that so many more have found her content as interesting as I do! Thank you Emmy!
I did some research on these cookies and supposedly you have to sandwich them with CELERIAC WHITE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM, maybe it will taste better then.
Omg, then they would be just complete death for me! Lol I am unfortunately very allergic to celeriac AND pine...but I would so want to taste these cookies if it didn't involve anaphylaxis....
I'm wondering if having them with tea or coffee would help them taste better or topped with something sweet or savory. Like add the cookies to a cheese platter or something.
I was wondering the same thing, like having them with a bitter beverage might make them sweeter by comparison, the way that you always want your dessert wine to be sweeter than the dessert food so that it doesn't taste bitter/sour in comparison.
Mj King I was wondering if adding cinnamon or cloves or other spices would help with the sawdust taste? But I love the idea of having it with jam or a beverage! Great ideas!
The Sámi people is a people that historically inhabits the Cap of the North, on the Fennoscandian peninsula (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia), not Scandinavia. Scandinavia is a cultural and historical region comprised of the three kingdoms of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. What's worth noticing is that Norway is the only one of the four Fennoscandian countries that recognize the Sámi's as a type of indigenous people. This is because people settled the area in three different stages during and after the last ice age (with people from the East coming in as the last group), which makes the topic very disputed for many people. But apart from all of this, it's very good that you included them in this video, as this is part of their culture. The Sámi people remains an important part of our history and culture. They sadly still struggle with old stereotypes and political and social issues caused by the Germanic descendants, so they deserve the recognition.
For anyone reading this now: that's not true and spreading disinformation. The Saami people were recognized as indigenous in Sweden in 1977 already. Also in Finland the Saami have a status as indigenous people. The Saami people and the Germanic people settled in Scandinavia around the same time- the Germanic from the south, and the Saami from the north and east. Before that, there was a different cuture (not related to neither Saami or Germanic) that we do not know much about, but that mixed in or was extinguished by BOTH the Saami and the Germanic. The traditional Saami area goes all the way down to Hedmark/Idre, which is pretty far south. That the Saami people only are in the very northern part of Scandinavia is not true.
Just love watching these videos. I remember my grandmother talking about being a newlywed in the depression, and the many ways they made do. One of the saddest stories to me was they only had dry white navy beans, and not even the 5 cents needed to buy salt, so it was just boiled beans. My grandfather used to ask her to lightly scorch the beans on the bottom just so they had flavor. She continued to do this even late into life whenever she made ham and beans, and ya know it was smokey and good! Well I was a kid, so maybe just my memories are good of all the stories she had! 🌸☺️
That recipe sounds like it would make a good ginger snap....that's what I always like about ginger snaps. Not too sweet, a decent amount of strong kinda musky flavor from the molasses and a coarse texture. If nothing else it would make one heck of a sturdy gingerbread house for Christmas time.
Have you ever tried making a meal from a food pantry box? I know that it would be unethical to actually get a real box, but you could replicate it. Remember no spices, salt, oil, real dairy (like fresh milk or butter), bread, fresh produce, or eggs and everything must be shelf stable. Usually they include a starch like rice or pasta, powdered milk, canned vegetables or fruit, sometimes tomatoes or tomato sauce, and a canned protein which can be anything from tuna to beans. Sometimes they will include crackers, peanut butter, ramen, or canned meals like soup. or ravioli
From my misspent early adulthood, I've cobbled together many meals consisting of "emergency food boxes" that were quite delicious. Also... being broke enough to get a food box, I was usually hungry enough that I would've eaten the box. Praise Gaia for learning experiences, we're doing quite well these days.
The pantry boxes iv gotten usually have some good stuff at the one place i go twice a month you get a gallon of milk frozen meat mac and cheese and day old bread from Panera plus other odds and ends snacks and canned veggies
@@marissagiammanco4552 wow! Now I donate money or cases of beans and rice because I know the struggle. It's nice when you can actually put a meal together with the contents. The people at the charity I went to didn't seem all that interested in the work I think they might have been doing community service though. 🤷♀️
When I was a kid we were poor at Christmas my mother would cook a small chicken to share amongst the ten of us. One year wile dad was carving the chicken I held out my plate and asked for a leg, my dad replied it's a chicken not a spider.
I would think Sugar isn't a historic flavoring and would better swap for a more relative sweetener such as honey, and the honey may cut the bitter down as it does in tea.
Fox Purtill You're right, cane sugar wasn't common (I live in one of the few places that sold cane sugar in the olden times). What was common was beet sugar, very popular in the United States during the 1600s and 1700s until they started buying cane sugar from us after gaining independence from England.
Fox Purtill Yes, this! I had the exact same thought about the honey, and that it would alter the taste of the final product. I bet honey made it much more palatable.
If this was a famine version, I'd expect only pettu and water.x) But yeah, sugar was rare and expensive especially here in the north, where it needed to be imported from the other side of the world. Before they found out you get sugar from a vegetable that also grows in a cold climate. Also wheat flour was "fancy", so just combining fine wheat flour, sugar, butter, egg and milk you get pulla, which is still a common dessert or eaten with coffee.
Oh, my gosh, Euell Gibbons! I had completely forgotten him. But yeah, totally remember those Grape Nuts commercials from my childhood. "Tastes like wild hick'ry nuts." Thanks for a fun memory!
One of the best things about UA-cam is the fact that people from around the world get to share their food recipes and show you how to make their dishes. They are informative in many different ways and inclusive. Learning about different people and their food cultures allows us to grow and learn and connects us all together. Those bridges are important in a world where some people are trying to build walls.
SAME. Every time Emmy described the cookies as smelling like sawdust it brought me back to my childhood summers of wanting to eat the sawdust my cousin used to line stables with...
Hahaha, I love how when she leaves the screen to grab something or wash her hands, she names random stuff in the background. You're too funny Emmy, love you.
I mean this in the best way possible: I LOVE falling asleep to your videos! I have anxiety in the evenings and your voice is so calming. I do however always watch your new videos when I am awake though ;)
I love your sense of humour and your honesty about what you’re eating. You make me want to try new foods! I appreciate you! Looking forward to seeing your other channel!! I’ve always wanted to keep bees! 🐝 gotta love honey and the little guys that make our food! ❤️
I wonder if a smaller sized cookie and either coffee or Chartreuse would go well together? As ever, your video is a fun way to spend a little time, learn something, and (potentially) get a new recipe! Thank you for sharing this, Emmy.
@@Sincyn241 oh, you too?! Sux, I love the smell...but I once had to be carted off by ambulance just because we were cutting pine 2x4 in an enclosed space at my job and I had a terrible reaction. o.o
Hey Emy, I'm a fencer and it's surprisingly easy to get into. If you go to the US Fencing website, they have resources to find the closest club to you. Most clubs will let you borrow equipment until you decide to buy your own. I really recommend trying it out!
My grandmother always made jello in a jello form with cottage cheese it was delicious, and back then cottage cheese came in metal containers that you could use for glasses absolutely love in different colors
You could also try the inner bark of birch or elm since they both are edible flours as well. Hmm...I do have slippery elm flour (powder) in my pantry...I guess I'll give it a try with that and almond/buckwheat flour, with stevia as the sugar replacement.
@@healinggrounds19 It's quite tasty as a barkmeal flatbread - I threw in rye, barley, slippery elm flour, and rye sourdough. My cockatiels went nuts over it --a much better alternative than letting them eat chunks out of the wooden windowsills~ To add to the bark flours, I learned from Linda Runyon's The Essential Wild Food Guide that maple is also edible, and of course acorn flour, which I found in a Korean supermarket once =3
I really love how you describe the flavors of the things you try, it's like I'm also trying it as well. And I really admire how you respect all of the food you try. 😊
I liked and subscribe for the very detailed description of your food. I love people who could describe food more than just saying only "tasty" or "delicious" therefore sharing with us viewer how and why it is delicious.
Ok in NZ we use metric units and bake things at 180deg C, Edmunds Cookbook is a really common guide and it says 180deg C is 350deg F, not 156deg F like she says at 7:04. You know on the off-chance someone sees this and wants to import special flour and make it themselves 😆
wasnt that how they made Christmas decorations in the olden days? anyway i guess its one way to get your fiber. have you tried looking up on how to make acorn pancakes from tree to plate? it might be something you might like to try, i have been looking for my recipe to send you but i have seemed to have lost it, and i need to find a new one so i can make this again.
Emmy! I just realized I've been watching your videos since 2012/13 when I was in middle school. Now I'm a freshman in college and still look forward to every video you post! 💕
She is so nice, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying hurt her. We all love Emmy. I don’t even ever see rude moments on here high is amazing for how many followers she has.
@@SayYesToTacos1217 yeah, but depending on the person in question, that sort of thing doesn't matter. To the average, healthy adult? Of course not!! But the people who would actually do this... nothing average or healthy about them. ....also THANKS ORIGINAL COMMENTOR!!! I never thought of this originally, but now I sure do!!! =0
I've heard stories about my ancestors in Norway eating tree bark when times were bad in the early 1800's. I really hadn't thought about how they would actually eat it, so seeing it used to extend flour is interesting.
I lived in some woods for about 6 months and I used pine bark all the time to eat. The difference is however that I gathered the outer bark of pine trees to burn in my bio lite wood stove to cook with and to take smoke baths with when it was too cold to bathe with water. I would suggest that if you were to use a trees bark to dry grind and use as flour to instead look into whether or not birch bark is edible. I know you can extract xytol sugar from it but I dont know if the bark itself is edible but given how xytol tastes it would be a much better bet then what you tried. Pine bark ash isnt even considered a good option for producing lye soap according to what I have heard.
You have such bravery when it comes to re-tasting an item you have already determined to be undesirable. I realize you probably do this just in case you may have judged an item too quickly. Also, how do you not gag when something is truly horrible? Thanks for sharing and for being so brave! Love your videos!
People have mixed sawdust with their flour for centuries. In England in the middle ages, millers and bakers could be executed for mixing bark or dust with the flour. Apparently this didn't stop them.
@@firegodessreiko most people in the west born past 1960 do not. We have been very, very fortunate. My mom was a part of Doctors without Borders. She worked the famine/drought in parts of Africa during the 90s. The famine haunts her years later.😥
During WW2 bark bread was used a lot here in Norway, since there was such a lack of flour. My late parents were clear about one thing when they told me about when I was a child - they would never eat it again if they didn’t have to...☺️
It's just like those old cartoons where people are starving and they fantasize eating the leg off their friend or pet: the Christmas pine tree is the first to get eaten!!
I've noticed that many of these "hard times" recipes use plenty of pricey ingredients. I would think if times are actually hard that ingredients like sugar, and butter would be used very, very sparingly. The water pie recipe was an example of this. That recipe had nothing to do with times being hard.

My cockatiels went nuts over it --a much better alternative than letting them eat chunks out of the wooden windowsills~ To add to the bark flours, I learned from Linda Runyon's The Essential Wild Food Guide that maple is also edible, and of course acorn flour, which I found in a Korean supermarket once =3
I really love how you describe the flavors of the things you try, it's like I'm also trying it as well. And I really admire how you respect all of the food you try. 😊
Hi Emmy. I love your videos and how a little word will pop up in the background above whatever it is. Makes me laugh. 😊😊🎉
🎉
I liked and subscribe for the very detailed description of your food. I love people who could describe food more than just saying only "tasty" or "delicious" therefore sharing with us viewer how and why it is delicious.
Leftover Christmas tree cookies 😂
Ok in NZ we use metric units and bake things at 180deg C, Edmunds Cookbook is a really common guide and it says 180deg C is 350deg F, not 156deg F like she says at 7:04. You know on the off-chance someone sees this and wants to import special flour and make it themselves 😆
“I’m camouflaged.” :P
Emmy is so sweet and pure lol, gotta love her
"I'm camouflaged." :)
Another wonderful video! May you have a lovely Christmas, Ms. Emmy!!
And Merry Christmas to you. 🎄
wasnt that how they made Christmas decorations in the olden days? anyway i guess its one way to get your fiber.
have you tried looking up on how to make acorn pancakes from tree to plate? it might be something you might like to try, i have been looking for my recipe to send you but i have seemed to have lost it, and i need to find a new one so i can make this again.
That sounds awesome! Please do. I'd love to see Emmy try that!
Emmy! I just realized I've been watching your videos since 2012/13 when I was in middle school. Now I'm a freshman in college and still look forward to every video you post! 💕
That's so cool, I've only known about her about a year...wish I would have found her sooner. 😁
Why did you label the headlamp? (?__?('
Strange Person probably for looking in her beehives!
I love it when you do these cultural food segments, and the tidbits of info are so cool to learn.
Can you make a Mont Blanc?
No matter how blah my day has been, your excitement and happiness is always contagious and brightens my mood! 😁
No disrespect intended, but Imma stick with chocolate bark.
Always great watching! She's just so peaceful and funny
Try SEAgrapes
Tiayana Freeman YES!!
Tiayana Freeman yes!
Always enjoy the focussing on the background with descriptors for random stuff haha
Do you ever worry that someone will send you food that has been tampered with?
Right!
winkerbean1 that’s actually a really good question! I wonder the same thing too lol
"Here's our local delicacy... poison!"
She is so nice, I couldn’t imagine anyone trying hurt her. We all love Emmy. I don’t even ever see rude moments on here high is amazing for how many followers she has.
@@SayYesToTacos1217 yeah, but depending on the person in question, that sort of thing doesn't matter. To the average, healthy adult? Of course not!! But the people who would actually do this... nothing average or healthy about them.
....also THANKS ORIGINAL COMMENTOR!!! I never thought of this originally, but now I sure do!!! =0
I've heard stories about my ancestors in Norway eating tree bark when times were bad in the early 1800's. I really hadn't thought about how they would actually eat it, so seeing it used to extend flour is interesting.
Is it safe to eat wood?
Bark isn't wood by friend.
Prepared like this, yes
Though it has 0 nutritional value
@@darellgrant8753 thank you for clearing that up.
I suppose it’s mostly fiber
I lived in some woods for about 6 months and I used pine bark all the time to eat. The difference is however that I gathered the outer bark of pine trees to burn in my bio lite wood stove to cook with and to take smoke baths with when it was too cold to bathe with water. I would suggest that if you were to use a trees bark to dry grind and use as flour to instead look into whether or not birch bark is edible. I know you can extract xytol sugar from it but I dont know if the bark itself is edible but given how xytol tastes it would be a much better bet then what you tried. Pine bark ash isnt even considered a good option for producing lye soap according to what I have heard.
You should have used a christmas tree cookie cutter
You have such bravery when it comes to re-tasting an item you have already determined to be undesirable. I realize you probably do this just in case you may have judged an item too quickly. Also, how do you not gag when something is truly horrible? Thanks for sharing and for being so brave! Love your videos!
So its essentially saw dust??
No, it's imported FANCY sawdust. :)
I mean, that is also what cinnamon is. Tree bark from species of cinnamon trees.
@@s0515033 you dont really eat the cinnamon sticks tho....
I love how you always educate us. I’m never bored.
I bet pine flour would make good gingerbread
It would certainly build good gingerbread houses!
Christmas tree flavored cookies with natural egg nog, perfect Christmas day mood setter.
I'm camouflaged
A fantastic video. I love the educational elements of your videos. I learn new things and remember things Ive forgotten when I watch these. Thank you!
lol these ppl must have been starving pretty bad to go like hmm how can we eat this tree, or this sawdust?🤣
99% likely the first guy who ate a pine tree was drunk.
People have mixed sawdust with their flour for centuries. In England in the middle ages, millers and bakers could be executed for mixing bark or dust with the flour. Apparently this didn't stop them.
Do...do you understand what a famine is, hun?
@@firegodessreiko most people in the west born past 1960 do not. We have been very, very fortunate. My mom was a part of Doctors without Borders. She worked the famine/drought in parts of Africa during the 90s. The famine haunts her years later.😥
I always learn something new when watching Emmy. I just adore her so...
Headlamp
During WW2 bark bread was used a lot here in Norway, since there was such a lack of flour. My late parents were clear about one thing when they told me about when I was a child - they would never eat it again if they didn’t have to...☺️
Bark from a pine tree? WHERE can I POSSIBLY find a pine tree this time of year? XD
*looks at Christmas tree in corner and tilts head curiously*
😄
It's just like those old cartoons where people are starving and they fantasize eating the leg off their friend or pet: the Christmas pine tree is the first to get eaten!!
Florida!!! Back in the 70s Sunday and warm all week!!!
I was going to use this one tree I thought was a pine tree, but turned out to be a Christmas Tree. They look so much alike...
Omg i love this channel but I can’t get through a hole video at night because it makes me soooo sleepy!! (In a good way) her voice is so calming ❣️
I've noticed that many of these "hard times" recipes use plenty of pricey ingredients. I would think if times are actually hard that ingredients like sugar, and butter would be used very, very sparingly. The water pie recipe was an example of this. That recipe had nothing to do with times being hard.
You are right. This recipe has nothing todo with hardtimes. This is just a modern cookie recipe using pettu.
During the hard times sometimes it's just specific things that become scarce. Sugar and butter are very cheap compared to, say, apples and peaches
i came across your videos and i am addicted, you’re absolutely adorable & a delight to watch! ❤️
*I am adding the public comment*
I made a birdhouse with pine bark as a child. Mom used to brew teas with them though. Smelled amazing.
Thanks Emmy. Have a nice weekend!😻
That clingfilm trick! How have I never seen this before?!
This will come in really handy come Christmas time! Thank you, Emmy! ❤
