Been taking college classes and used one of your many recipes for class and got an A on the assignment. :/ :) You learn a lot in the culture of a society in just the food alone.
I’ve been watching your channel for years now, and while I haven’t always kept up on all your videos, I absolutely love that you keep making them. This is one I’ll watch start to finish.
I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve been cooking outside using the tripod I got from the townsends shop. It works so well. I’ve been using it to cook chili and stews with dumplings. Cooking outside in a giant cauldron is so fun. Thanks for sharing! 😄🥘
Cool! My staple food is actually some kind of stew like people ate for thousands of years, I think. I just fill a pot half full with random vegetables, add a little of wine or whiskey and place some meat on top. Then I let it allone and Cook for one hour or more. I love beef of course, chicken, salmon, not cubed but in a whole. Bratwurstls, pork belly or vegan varieties are possible of course. White, red, ore green beans or peas. Have a good one!
I agree with you in the fact that this is a lifestyle.. ive been fortunate to have had a hillbilly family who prepared food and maintained animals. Ive been canning with my grandmothers pressure canner and water bath pots since i was big enough to see over the table.. it takes a long time to accomplish security. Im 64 and dont feel like ive done enough yet so i have a goal to do more . I have learned so much and remembered things from channels like your . I.e. Keeping sourdough starter in the pantry. Anybody can make a loaf of bread if you have yeast. But I prefer the sourdough starter because you can do anything with it. I want ramble, just one example. My grandmother used to say I forgotten more than I know. I never understood that until I hit my fifties. And then I realized all the little things that she has shown me and told me along the precious time that I had with her, it was always a lesson for life. Can it Store it dehydrated, grind it. Stock it. Save it. Great video kiddo. Keep it up. It's not as profitable as some people think to be the victim. When you miss out on learning life skills. Lol stay toasty
@@KatieCatWalkeryou generally wouldn’t want to do that with non organic limes because of pesticides and wax coating (which is common for fruits to have). I’m sure it would be fine if you gave it a good wash though
You could use any sweetener, maple syrup, molasses, whatever flavor you prefer. Honey would be neat because it would help preserve the peels longer since it’s anti microbial
I don't even remember how i found this channel because it's so far outside of what i normally watch, but I've been watching it for the last hour and a half and I'm a little disappointed that it's getting close to the end. We need more long videos! Or not, whatever you want, these are just great to watch.
Love watching your videos and hearing the history of food and life in the 1700’s The cabin in the snow I’ve watched several times. ❤It’s comforting to me. I tell people I must have been born in a different era. 😂
The lime recipe took me back 45-47 years. I think it was based on your lime recipe but it had different twist from the 19th century wars and supplies. Yes, Key Lime is good but not enough peel for this and other pastries. Mikel
"Rice Soup" @ Time 1:35:05 With the ingredients used, this is similar to a recipe my family has passed down. It is thick, unlike soup and is most often served as a breakfast dish. Toppings can be anything; Butter, Cream, Fruits, Nuts & Seeds.
little correction to the deer heart episode. you would eat the pluck first before the good meat is eaten, it spoils SO much faster. innards first, then the good meat.
I really enjoyed this but sometimes found the music intrusive. You don’t always need it. The content is interesting enough, 🎉🎉🎉 I’m amazed he manages to bake with no apron and no rolled up sleeves. I would be covered in flour & bits by the time the five bread was rising.
I think people misunderstand history: the change from "work+survive+gather most of it yourself" to a "work+ just buy what you need" life. It was only a few hundred years ago that a large % of people were still in the prior group, and only those living in cities/towns were lucky enough to be doing some of the latter. Most people today, even if they tried to live like 18/19th century frontiersmen/colonialists, I don't think they always realize the extremes needed to survive: eating the lime peels, offal, expiration dates didn't exist.
I like the Jerky, but this would have been done in a much larger operation for any sizable group of folks. Pemican was a good way to do it(mashing berries in with it). would make for a good trail item. :D
Sure glad Micheal is on this bcuz I don't like nutmeg & John uses nutmeg in EVERY recipe whether it calls for it or not. A cow only has 4 stomachs, not 7.
Yankee Doodle dandy stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni 😂 I wonder 🤔 what they would have thought if a bunch of hippies would have come to town with their bare feet, boho and tye dye ? No doubt there would have been many that would LOLLYGAG and thought the hippies fashion sense TARADIDDLE .😂 However today's fashion preferences are nothing less than CATAWAMPUS and MALARKY 😂 Hopefully fashion's WIDDESHINS will cease and we can get back to comfy cotton and linens but enough of my MONKEYSHINES 😁 I ❤ Mac and cheese , let's eat 😋😂😂
Was there preparation for cooking water? I imagine if this was spring water used .. the food would take on some of the flavor of the particulars found in the water. Meaning was the water filtered with rags and then boiled
By the time they get into a cookbook, recipes have usually been around for at least a generation. Perhaps much longer. Hence John using a recipe that's clearly from the 17th century (1600s) based on the ingredients, even though it only appears in a cookbook in the next century.
master...i watch..all you videos..if you will see..that food is find in all Europe.....at least corn meal..vith potatoes..and a little bit pf smell of beef or pork..that was in territory of Romania...and that mix of meet and all of the things 9f an animal..mix them ..is also im Romania for 900 hy old..to today..
Um, you do realize that potatoes, maize (corn meal), peppers, and tomatoes come from the Americas, right? So there's no possible way those ingredients were being used in Romanian cooking several centuries ago.
idk if they had a machine for that back then, but you don't need a machine to make tube pasta; a wooden dowel would work just fine for bigger tubes, i've used wooden skewers to make bucatini before.
I know you put a lot of time into research, but I find it extremely hard to believe that in the 18th century people didn't have forks. Why don't you use a fork. I know that the people settling this country had to have had some sort of utensil known as a fork.
The British didn't start using forks until the 17th century, and even then, it still took some time for them to become popular. It was adopted earlier in continental Europe, but not much earlier. People viewed forks as delicate and effeminate... It was thought of as a weird Italian affectation. People just used knives, spoons, and their hands to eat. So no, at this point in history, forks would have been a very new thing, and more typically found among the upper classes. I know it's hard to believe that something so common today would be a rarity (and even shunned), by that's the way it was.

This man is out here having the realest tea party with his daughter.
Been taking college classes and used one of your many recipes for class and got an A on the assignment. :/ :) You learn a lot in the culture of a society in just the food alone.
Good job! Do you remember which recipe it was? 😃
I genuinely appreciate this mans appreciation for his niche and what he knows and is good at. Loved trying some of these recipes
😊😊i
I wish I could like this comment more than once.
I’ve been watching your channel for years now, and while I haven’t always kept up on all your videos, I absolutely love that you keep making them. This is one I’ll watch start to finish.
11:20 I'm pretty sure a "Spoonful" back then is like a large handled spoon for stirring pots.
I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve been cooking outside using the tripod I got from the townsends shop. It works so well. I’ve been using it to cook chili and stews with dumplings. Cooking outside in a giant cauldron is so fun. Thanks for sharing! 😄🥘

Glad to know it works well before making a purchase. How does it hold up in moderate wind?
Your a lifesaver for some of us with GI issues with all the rice (and other alternative) recipes today :) Thank you

You sound like a treasure. Wishing you many blessings in this crazy world.
If your citrus is organic and washed. You can save the lime water you aren't using for cooking rice and other or making a soup. Great flavors!
Never thought of this!
Freeze into ice cubes. Gin and tonic.
Great idea! Thanks!
You can do this with any of them. "organic" or "not."
@@KatieCatWalkeryou generally wouldn’t want to do that with non organic limes because of pesticides and wax coating (which is common for fruits to have). I’m sure it would be fine if you gave it a good wash though
Loved the cooking system out in the woods. Great information. Enjoyed you bringing children onto your program. Really enjoy seeing family of yours.
At the end of the candy episode, I got a sneak-attack of laughter when Mr.Townsends said "I can't wait to try Oil of Nutmeg" oh mYGODDDDD
How interesting!
as a kid I always wondered why that yankee doodle song didn't make sense until now😁
As a bald man, I feel like I would find those linen caps intensely comfortable
Can you sweeten the peels with honey instead of sugar??
You could use any sweetener, maple syrup, molasses, whatever flavor you prefer. Honey would be neat because it would help preserve the peels longer since it’s anti microbial

The backwoodsman guy was fab and great ideas for camp cooking. Ty
I know what Im watching tonight! Thank you!
The greens and forced meat pie looks really good.
It make me look outside to see what greens i could find haha
Love watching your videos and hearing the history of food and life in the 1700’s The cabin in the snow I’ve watched several times. ❤It’s comforting to me. I tell people I must have been born in a different era. 😂
I like this guy binding the sticks!
John, you know well and good, that you were contemplating on adding nutmeg to that mac and cheese 😂😂 love your content.
YES! I can’t wait to make my way through this.
The lime recipe took me back 45-47 years. I think it was based on your lime recipe but it had different twist from the 19th century wars and supplies. Yes, Key Lime is good but not enough peel for this and other pastries.

Rolling a ball of butter in flour sounds so much easier than sifting flour into melted butter.
Adversity isn't set against you to fail; adversity is a way to build your character so that you can succeed over and over again through perseverance.
😭 NUHUH JONS GOT A FRICKIN POCKET NUTMEG STASH! HE DID NOT REALLY JUST OFFER HIS FRIEND SOME LMAO
chopping lines of grated nutmeg off camera
A marathon that starts with a mac n' cheese episode is gonna be good!

I have made a roasted venison heart stuffed like a turkey! It was excellent!

Technically, one stomach with four compartments. The rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.
Yankee Doddle went to town riding on a donkey. Put a feather in his hat and called it Macaroni!
Pony *
macaroni in this song meant fancy dressed gentlemen NOT pasta.
Sure glad Micheal is on this bcuz I don't like nutmeg & John uses nutmeg in EVERY recipe whether it calls for it or not.
A cow only has 4 stomachs, not 7.
Love the channel, great videos
Swiss steak. Thats how I make mine, minus the nutmeg and orange juice.
Scotch Collops looks SO GOOD!!!
Love the video! ❤❤❤
Noo I missed it by 7 minutes! Well very excited to cath the replay
I love this channel
30:55 or so I woke up from a nap and without my glasses on, I could swear it looked like he was wearing a Paper Boat on his head.
Those scotch collops are so cool, it's almost a precursor to chicken fried steak
I concur on the young lads notions ND ways of traveling.
perciatelli is numbered.
Macaroni requires Bugs Bunny singing songs about feathers in caps.❤
I actually enjoy the background music.
I love this and very clever how you did it
Such a lovely young lady. Good job Dad.
Let the beet jokes begin.
When relearning how to diet I had to start treating candied fruits as candy. Most people do not realize how high in sugar they are.

48:00 --- you're welcome
Fun videos!
I was so disappointed when I discovered I could only use my Revere Wear Cook Set for reenacting Mid-Century Modern.
Green should have smelled more tranquil, but somehow it just tasted rotten.
Question 😊: what did they do with the lime water? Surely it was used for something? Cosmetics? Herbal cures?
Was there preparation for cooking water? I imagine if this was spring water used .. the food would take on some of the flavor of the particulars found in the water. Meaning was the water filtered with rags and then boiled
More nutmeg!
Can the juice from the steeped limes be used for cleaning?
Like in the Rhyme Yanky Doodle Dandy.
I love black pepper, just not in sweets!🤢 Same goes with raisins.
The rice soup sounds like mislabeled and should have been a rice pudding.
Ima history dummy, the Yankee Doodle did go to town I'm sure of it
why? not cheddar? i would think cheddar over parmesan????
his daughter is like his twin its crazy
thats what i always say, for every 3 lashings 1 frapping
So these are the "1800" recipes?
We generally cover 1730 to about 1820 in our recipes.
By the time they get into a cookbook, recipes have usually been around for at least a generation. Perhaps much longer. Hence John using a recipe that's clearly from the 17th century (1600s) based on the ingredients, even though it only appears in a cookbook in the next century.
💛...
I miss the facial hair and mustache. Seems more fitting.
master...i watch..all you videos..if you will see..that food is find in all Europe.....at least corn meal..vith potatoes..and a little bit pf smell of beef or pork..that was in territory of Romania...and that mix of meet and all of the things 9f an animal..mix them ..is also im Romania for 900 hy old..to today..

This is about the fourth time I've been unsubscribed from your Channel no wonder I keep missing everything

48:00 "jerking the meat"😅😅😅😅

How would they have made tubes back then, wouldn't they need a machine? A machine would have survived to today ...
idk if they had a machine for that back then, but you don't need a machine to make tube pasta; a wooden dowel would work just fine for bigger tubes, i've used wooden skewers to make bucatini before.
They did have pasta machines www.loc.gov/item/mcc.027/
Pasta machines have been around since at least the early 18th century, and probably existed in some form in the 17th century.
