Very interesting topic on how they made do with an available humble fish and turned it into something special. Really nice presenters too., without the loudmouths you see on a lot of UA-cam.
I wonder what shocked the anglers by the river more. The fact that he was wairing a period costume and using a stick or the fact that he actually greeted someone he didn't know in the London area.
Hello Ms. Leeming. I just had to tell you how wonderful your videos are to me. As a double ticketed tradesman out here in the Colonies, bashing, grunting and slaving away at my trades through the day's work, I find it so absolutely relaxing and calming to watch your broadcasts after the days work. Oddly, I am also a classically trained pianist and have a pretty good ear for sound and I find that in addition to you being such a lovely, classy Lady, I have an affinity to people's voices. Your own voice and Ms. Veronica Shaw's, with that beautiful proper English accent is literally music to my ears. I also watch programs with other lovely ladies as hosts such as Delia Smith and Joanna Lumley. You are all such gems to humanity. Personally, I think all politicians should be women (Margaret Thatcher notwithstanding). I am sure the world would be vastly a much, much better place to live in. To me, a lovely lady's voice is the proverbial 'music to calm the savage beast'. I think of you all as a wingless bird would love his song.

You forget that most of Europe is one big refridgerator most of the time :) Plus they usually have cellars under the house cold enough to freez ice cream and to preserve meats, veggies and fruits. They also used blocks of ice that were delivered by ice vendors,,,,for huge estates,they even build their own ice making/preserving storages away from the main house! However, what you see here is not the food of the average person,,,average persons did not afford wines nor oranges even for holiday meals!

She's certainly talking about the lovely European blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus that's been growing wild in European forests for thousands of years, not about the American tasteless impostor Vaccinium corymbosum.
@@bearcat1283: I've never seen nor eaten the wild European also called blueberries but nonethless think in this video are too large like the non-wild cultivated American kind. As for the tasteless American ones that's nonsense though the wild American ones can be sweeter.(I've lived all my life in the U.S.).
Out of curiosity why are some uploads can't be shown in the UK? They seem to be Time Team. Is it copyright issues and this is the reason why you won't show them in the UK?
Be nice when I'm watching this channel on xbox. The videos I cant watch because I'm in Australia are hidden like they are here on my phone. I know it's probably a UA-cam thing, but I was keen yo watch Saxon death, Saxon gold.. a time team video, but cannot.. Please make it so Australians can watch ALL your videos please. Thanks.. I never watch videos on my phone, only through xbox.
all those people saying carp tastes bad are stupid. yes it is a bottom feeding fish, yes it will taste muddy if you pull it out of the water and eat it straight away. keep them in clean water for a few days without food before you eat them and they will taste clean. for the love of god, people thousands of years ago were smart enough to understand that, get a grip.
@@inspiredbynatureinspiredby5586: My belief is that it's rooted in orange marmalade which I(American) love extremely(but not a big fan of oranges-lover of orange peaches and nectarines) and think the English love as well. The Spaniards as far as I know invented it centuries ago just like chocolate drink. Only royalty ate and drank either and guarded both recipes.
They surely did not have ALUMINUM FOIL! Why not have left that lovely fish-dish uncovered in the oven? Or covered with a real cover. It is dangerous to have foil or plastic in direct contact with hot food as they produce chemicals that leach into whatever they touch.
Because the fish would have probably dried out. I bake salmon in foil... not too worried about it. I'm sure something else that we think is so healthy and great is doing us much more harm.
@@kck9742 (1) There are safe covers for food during cooking e.g., glass, wood, or stainless steel. (2) With short cooking times and moderate heat, there is no overcooking or drying out of food.

@Luna T with any proper seasoning and fermented juices, anything can taste pretty good. We do sport fishing now. There is no comparison to then and now. Truly we live in luxurious times.
Of course monks had ponds full of fish they could have shared with the peasants who were doing all the monks farming while paying monks money to do nothing
Excellent ! It’s so interesting to see historical food recipes.

How lovely! Lessons for all ages: simple, healthful, fresh, and quick meals with lots of local organic foods.
Please bring this show back and never let it end. 💛

You are so right ..This is an old programme ..but is very appealing still .
I love this series!!
i love this show! thanks for the uploads!!
Thank you so much for this. 💖
History comes to life
i love the show!
Good to see Jan Leeming again, not seen her in many years!
I recognized her lovely and calming voice but not her face...but then again my eyesight is not what is was...
when did you first see her
@@ClipBishop Would have been back in the 80's, she used to present the news
I'm not real big on fish but those salads look very tasty!
fascinating. sounds like a meal!
Please upload more, thank you.
Looks delish 😋👍
Delightfully corny and very educational. I love it.
Really cool subject
Over half a century ago in U.S. high school I learned and loved the correct way of pronouncing Peyps. English is a supreme but a crazy language!
Pepys, not peyps.

This is a very interesting topic as these people didn’t have refrigerators
true or fastfood places to stop at lol
@Andro mache how stupid are you ? I said they didnt have fastfood places dummy

Fresh vegetable , meat and fish were eaten fresh or salted and smoked

Fish is always a good dish
How wonderful îs the water and what green 🕵️broatec îs the grass and the old recipes seem strange but for the ancestors 👻they were very tasty . 🖐️🌝
What's green broatec?

Jolly Good
We have a fishing club in Martinsburg WV called Isaac Walton club by the Potomac River. Now I wonder why.
Just discovered your fantastic channel and immediately subscribed! Greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷
I would have been great if they had put the recipes in the discrimination or even a link to Them.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I see that you are licensing your content, kudos!
There were no blueberries in Europe at that time at least not the ones you're showing. Only available in N. America.
By the 17th century European settlers had been in North America for centuries so it isn't inconceivable that blueberries were available.
She's certainly talking about the lovely European blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus that's been growing wild in European forests for thousands of years, not about the American tasteless impostor Vaccinium corymbosum.

Tasteless? I beg to differ. And I have wild blueberries growing in my Massachusetts back yard. Not at all tasteless.
Windberries are small English blueberries.
What year was this show made?

Supper means a light evening meal. Dinner would have been eaten around midday.
Anyone know where to get the spinach recipe?

She looks like amala@60 yrs of age. (Hollywood heroine and nagarjuna( telugu hero) wife.
I think that back then the dates and olives she added would cost a bit. They do not grow in that region.
Those oranges weren't readily available for the common man either.
The wealthy probably had a greenhouse.
She didn't give the temperature for baking!! Argh.... How high do you think her oven was? Anybody have any idea what the flower 'salad' tastes?
We eat Squash Blossoms here in the Southwest U.S., they're wonderful!

I would have been a peasant and lived on pottage and if lucky farmers cheese. Then died at an early age.🥴
hengelen.
Are you sure this is Georgian not Restoration?
mmm.. all that spices and no toothbrushing
The worst fish you can eat here in the US
@Luna T with any proper seasoning and fermented juices, anything can taste pretty good. We do sport fishing now. There is no comparison to then and now. Truly we live in luxurious times.
Same in Aus
I you had lived in the English countryside in the 1600s you probably would have been happy with it. Not to many trucks delivering fresh cod then.

Carps are scavengers....yuk!
Well of you were born in the 17th century you would probably take it lol. :P
Carp eat vegetation.
@Slappy They also eat their own excrement.
So is catfish and lobster.
@Inspired By Nature Inspired By Nature Exactly! Don't even get me started on pigs.........
Not Georgian era, need to fix your title.
I have been told that Carp has a lot of little bones, and is difficult to prepare properly.
They are also very nasty. They are scavengers. They are not popular at all in America.
It's just garbage.
Of course monks had ponds full of fish they could have shared with the peasants who were doing all the monks farming while paying monks money to do nothing
Beefcake alert.
facts
A flower salad? No thanks....
Eating carp is like eating a cheap McDonalds burger at a fine cuisine restaurant. No amount of fine herbs and spices will save this trash fish.
SnoopyDoo
Tsk, tsk. Carp is the principal ingredient of gefiltefish.
everything looked amazing except for that fish...🤢
