Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- In this video we stop off at a little road side food stand in the Navajo reservation to enjoy some fry bread, grilled lamb & mutton stew.
These are now considered part and parcel of Najavo food culture, but why, and how does it taste?

For the average american consumer, "gamey" is anything that doesn't taste like store bought beef.
True. ~Karl
not me , i haven't eaten store bought meat in over 18 years. I have harvest all my meat straight out of update NY woods..
Actually even some store bought beef is gamey.
thanks. I was beginning to think it was the only word they could use
For me, it's anything that eats too much sage.
InRange has now become a channel where we watch best friends eat food.
Ark - thats bad?
And drink soda pop. And other, somewhat more exotic, beverages.
They've gotta give their shoulders and eardrums a rest sometime, don't they? LOL
Well, they can't eat bullets, can they? That'd be bad for their health.
As Diné(Navajo).. you made me hungry.. very accurate history bit.. thanks for the nod..
I was a Marine Recruiter in the four corners, and I spent quite a bit of time in the Shiprock area. Thanks to the code talkers, it was a tremendous honor to recruit there. Learning how the government and history has treated them through their eyes helped form my political views far more than I ever anticipated.
I'm diné (Navajo) it's good to see y'all actually tell the truth of what my people went through and I miss the food too haha
As non-american, absolutely interesting.
In Europe, you hear not not really much about american indigenes food.
Also interesting history lesson about the Najavo.
Thank you guy's, please more of this. Especially about the history of the american natives.
Damn that thing on the left looks so appetizing.
dont say that about Ian.
That comment with that name ;D
Soylent Green is people! Soylent Green is people!
Name/post combo
Matt Johnson soylent green is not people! It's a nutritious substitute provided to the people in these tough times by your government. Please stop spreading falsehoods that may cause a panic. We'll be seeing you soon.🙃👁
This just makes me appreciate what UA-cam was supposed/used to be. Having individuals broadcasting (niche) content but under their own direction, and given their passion for the subject they actually provide good quality videos. Just casual a thumbs-up from Germany. Please keep up the good work!
My wife and I live on the Potawatomi reservation she's part Cherokee. Their culture eat a lot of buffalo meat and vegetables they seem to be pretty healthy and it's really good food. I've even had milkweed. I didn't know you could eat that. I really enjoy the native culture.
Buffalo steak and vegetables sounds awesome to me... :) ~Ian
It is. Also try buffalo ribs, their awesome
What about those buffalo wings huh? Must be something to see those big bastards flying!
;D
Milkweed pods, picked young and cooked in 2 changes of water are very good.
good job guys. that was probably the most factually correct modern history of the Navaho that I've ever seen in a very condensed form. you guys might want to think about doing a series about the weapons and history of of the region. it was good that you didn't sugar coat anything. that's how history should be told.
Definitely how history should be told is how it happened, not the bullshit propaganda that is so prevalent throughout schools today. And I'm not just talking about the native American issue.
There needs to be a massive overhaul of our education system and then the government needs to get its greedy fucking hands out of our children's heads.
Domino52o I agree. The way both U.S. history and "World" history (what should be called Western European History) is taught in public schools and in universities is an absolute joke. Very seldom do you find even a university history class with accurate history books that are not watered down and white-washed or that show the perspective of "the other" or those that were colonized or enslaved.
Every time someone tells me that the US Government is going to take care of me... I'm nervous and am looking over my shoulder.
I really enjoy your gun videos but like your history lesson videos even more.
Hooray for the green chillies, damn skippy!
and remember to never say the "O word" around them either
This video really epitomizes what I most enjoy about Ian and Karl's work. Let's face it, there are plenty of folks posting content on similar subjects. What sets InRange apart is the thoughtful, intelligent, and balanced topical analysis. They tend to put subjects in context and give meaningful insights and informed speculation as to that subject's place in history. Keep up the great work.
This has nothing to do with shooting and it might be one of your best videos. Thanks, guys.
This sort of content might be off from what you guys normally do but I don't mind it. I actually really liked the oddball ones about Fanta, fish cock, Canned energy chocolate and even the kubelwagen. Keep up the good work. It's appreciated
I now demand you incorporate Navajo fry bread and mutton stew into 2Gun ACM
We worked on the cable TV system on the Hopi Res and stayed in Tuba City for a few days. We usually grabbed lunch at the Dairy Queen and dinner (supper) at the Nava-Hopi Kitchen. We always had fry-bread with cinnamon-sugar on top for dessert, it was like a giant cinnamon roll. Yummy!
Now this was a wholesome episode, if with quite hard (but necessary) piece of history.
Thanks for the honest discussion.
And any range-fed meat tastes better than grain-fed.
I have access to grass fed beef, professionally butchered by Amish. Additionally, I get free range pork also locally butchered. I get free range chickens also. The meat is definitely different and not surprisingly, many main stream people, used to the industrial farmed products, don't like it.
Best Indian Taco I ever had was at the Olive Oatman Hotel in Oatman Az. We used to travel up there about twice a month when we wintered in our RV in Topock Az, which is near Oatman, between Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City Arizona. MY GOD how I miss Topock this year, we were not able to make it, and now are suffering through one of the worst winters the Dakota's have seen since the blizzard of 1967 (ya I was a kid back then made enough to buy my first tape recorder shoveling snow after the blizzard!) Love the videos warms my heart just to see the desert once again!
Karl must have lost the coin toss.
Nope, I wanted the stew. ~Karl
Hot sauce in an essential survival tool.
It's pretty good! I'm part dine(Navajo), we have it and fry bread at family gatherings.
*won
As a Navajo That fry bread is spot on!
I love when you guys go off your main topic for stuff like this! :) Great informative video!
really appreciate how respectful and knowledgeable you guys are
That was honestly, in my opinion, one of the most entertaining videos you´ve ever made! I don´t know why, but it is just the way it is
Great. I really appreciate these historical remarks.
I really liked that you guys covered this, I don't think I've ever seen someone cover native American food before.
Wonderfully insightful video guys! I've been watching for a long time and you've convinced me to subscribe finally!
I'm a diabetic Native American living on a Reservation in Wisconsin.
Fry bread with sweet corn in the dough. It was one of my favorites when I lived in the mid west, among many Cherokee. I hope others agree with me when I say I like the two of you documenting your journey and giving out morsels of information. I'd never thought about the origin of fry bread, for instance. Sorry for the horrible pun.
I knew a Dine guy once, he made some good mutton. On the Reservation Im from we eat lots of frybread too. Thanks for spreading this!
Oh man, Ian, if you like roasted chillies so much I wish you could try "Ajvar" traditional Balkan winter store, it's made out of the peppers and some eggplant roasted and then mixed with some oil, vinegar and salt and then cooked for hours, until it thickens. It's glorious!
You now have the recipe, that is Serbian version btw, 9 parts peppers, 1 part eggplant, 1dl of vinegar and 1l of vegetable oil (more oil if it looks dry) per 10kg of peppers and eggplant, salt per taste. Roast peppers and eggplant, peel them and take seeds out of the peppers, grind everything down, once is enough, mix and cook until all water evaporates. Put it in jars, i advise you to wash jars with hot water then put them in the cold oven and heat to 100C° before pouring, to sterilize them and keep them from cracking from temperature difference. Keep in storage, basement or refrigerator. It can last for years but usually doesn't last until spring...
Sandwich - use ajvar as a spread, put smoked beacon or prshuta, sliced pickles, runny eggs and crumpled white cheese on it. Put a trey under your face not to make a mess of yourself and enjoy. It's the best sandwich I ever head and I had some fantastic Italian and Portuguese stuff.
I love ajvar, especially with cevapcici and cream cheese "kajmak"
OK, but then how do you eat it?
Slippery I rather fancy it on toast. I imagine it would also go well with fresh vegetables.
This is really excellent content and I thank you for it. I've raised sheep for a while; lamb is generally (worldwide) considered to be less than one year old. Hogget is 1-2 years old. Mutton is over 2 years old. I love all of them!
That kind of fried bread is quite popular in China especially for breakfast . They call it 油饼 （youbing)
You can also find it in Romania but it isn't as common
"The eyes are the groin of the head." -Dwight Schrute
Really enjoy the variety in content you put out. You guys have a very matter-of-fact and unbiased approach that I miss in a lot of channels. Thank you.
Indian fry bread was one of the things I looked forward to at the Fort Bridger mountain man rendezvous every year when I was a kid. This vid brought back a lot of memories.
very accurate in the Navajo history! Thank you for showing the respect and knowledge for our culture, tradition, and society.
I've worked at Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock for 12 years, and travelled a bit through the the rez. Navajos are among the friendliest of Natives in spite of their mistreatment. They have a special talent in getting by and are superb artists in silver and weaving and painting. One time, 6 miles back in a remote canyon that we could only drive a 4 by 4 in for 4 miles we encountered 2 Navajo dudes while we were hiking who had driven in a Monte Carlo (I kid you not) and got stuck after breaking the transmission supports. They were using a log and rock to lever the tranny back up. We gave them some baling wire and wished them luck. When we hiked back 4 hours later that car was gone. Many mysteries on the rez! Also, commercial Navajo Tacos are awesome, with meat, beans, onions, chiles, tomatoes, sauce, lettuce and about 12 inches in diameter of fry bread. Not to be missed!
you guys are so close to me. I live on the reservation. it's nice to hear a real depiction of my people.
Loving these videos about background on simple things like this. And I want a piece of grilled lamb now. Nice video, guys, hope to see more like this one in the future!
Ian cussed again I'm shocked
Hey guys, thanks for making this video! I grew up in Flag and now live in Prescott. The whole of NAZ is special to me and the reservation is a cool place. I appreciate you touching on the history and the struggles of the Navajo people in the area. I grew up with them and one of best friends is navajo...but they tend to keep white folks at arms length...for good reason! When you're on the Rez, it's best to mind your manners! Where were you when you made that video?? Thanks again, great channel.
Fantastic! Another awesome video! Keep up the great work fellas!!!
lovely video, keep making this. the fried bread is actually a traditional food in Romania, but we add stuff to it here, from cottage cheese to potatoes, cabbage and even jam
I feel this is arguably one of your best videos.
your take on and opinion on various historycal facts and issues is so human and real, respect.
Thank you! ~Karl
Very good video. I love that you're exploring native cuisine. Bii'o'le N a'chíí , hmmmm.... Me thinks frybread made of cricket flour in avocado oil. Yum.
I come back to this video every two months or so
I live in New Mexico near hatch so I'm constantly getting the green chilies out of there and I love the Navajo fry bread as a truck driver I go through Arizona quite a bit and I do stop at some of the reservations
Im learning to love this channel so much more recently. Thanks so much for making content like this
Great talk guys, on our farm we’ve raised Navajo Churro sheep for years.
It's amazing how these UA-cam channels blow channels like History out of the water.
I'm really glad you guys are taking some time to share some indigenous culture.
loves these types of episodes, they really combine good with the gun and shooting stuff:)
Love the fact check correction subtitles before y'all uploaded. Goes a long way.
hi,im an native live in quebec canada its realy interresting what you say on the food from this tribe ours here is different but in same time simple like they have i appreciate all your clip and video im a fan ,long life to you have a nice day byby
Arizonians and the Navajos get along really well, i think relations between us have repaired rather well and that really makes me happy as i enjoy their cuisine and such.
It was the second largest deportation of American Indians in US history, my own tribe, and I had to learn about it from my relatives because my school books never mentioned it.
Course the paragraph in a middle school history text book doesn't hit the same way as learning about how your grgr-grandmother was the only remaining child because her siblings starved to death during the marches. Her mom cried her eyes out but the older women told her it was going to be okay because she could always have another baby, which was my grgr-grandma.
That food looks really good and the story about the frybread was interesting . This channel has everything. Keep it up, guys.🌽
really nice video guys. my girlfriend lives in az and i love learning about az history from these vignettes and talking about it with her.
Makes me hungry. One of our yearly fund raisers for school was a Navajo taco night cooked by moms of some of my Navajo buddies.
I like how Ian polishes off all the grilled mutton while Karl is explaining. I guess he must have been hungry!
Awesome video! Loved the history lesson. It's things like this that we forget.
Thanks for the history lesson. Trying to learn more about Native food
I want to share this with a friend who grew up on the Rez. This was a really great look into the culture.
Man, that fry bread basket of lamb fillets with corn on the cob and a slice of green chili... Made my mouth water. Great video, way to make everyone jealous lol.
That frybread looks so good, and accurate history, I love it.
nice to see this content, both of your historical knowledge adds a nice twist to the whole "trying new food" thing. keep it up.
lamb tastes great in pretty much every dish you put it in. i don't imagine the navajo dish to be any different.
As always smart, informative and awesome. Keep up the strong work guys.
Great history lesson, no soft coating of what truly happen.
This channel gets more awesome every video I watch.
You guys are great. Thanks for covering the history of it, was very interesting. I'm never disappointed by your stuff.
I greatly enjoy this content 😌
This video is making me hungry! I really enjoy that you guys make videos on a variety of stuff, not only about firearms although I love those as well :)
You guys are awesome. Love the content and also the change of content.
I always like the Tasting History Videos, keep them going!
A nice bit of culture and history. Thanks for the upload.
I ate fry bread as a kid in California , with butter and jam. A great treat!
Great video. Please share more local food adventures.
looks great, but understand about the fry bread..... interesting... thanks for sharing this with us.
I really love the Old West Vignette series.
Thanks!
Very good stuff. Interesting content and a worth while history lesson
Navajo are an interesting people, I worked with a few. It took awhile for them to open up but they finally did and I learned a lot. They have a very strong culture. One of the more interesting superstitions they have is they don’t whistle at night, they believe it attracts evil spirits. I don’t whistle at night now.
Good episode. One thing to remember about wheat flour in those days. Unless it was freshly ground or stored in cold it had weevils. Still have that problem. The term daily grind comes from grinding your flour daily. They were smarter by doing that because there was no chance of weevils. Soldiers, sailors, settlers, doesn't matter who had to put up with weevils. Heavily spiced meat dishes were made because meat was going bad and would have been easily tasted. That doesn't mean that the Navajo's treatment was good. That said, if the army had a massive influx of POWs, their treatment wouldn't have been good either. There never was a proper infrastructure or even a workable plan to handle that type of situation. James Henry Carleton was the guy behind all this and he was not a nice guy. He also influenced his soldiers to act as badly. Then of course there were thieves in the guise of officials that stole. The problem was wide spread. They robbed the soldiers in various ways also.
Listening to how the Navajo were treated and the rations they received from the government of the day is very similar to the way the British treated the Boer Women and Children in concentration camps during the Boer war from all the letters and Diaries written by them that have been documented and passed down over the years strangely enough the fried bread was also something that the Boers made even before the wars with the British here it's called a Vetkoek or fat cake and filled with meat potatoes and gravy very delicious
To the people vurious about mutton stew. You should try a Navajo Taco. It is part of our Diné history as well and tastes phenomenal.
Great video guys! Love history, and I learned some new stuff from this vid about not only Native American history but also the history of the US Govt and supplies given to the Indians. I think if our present day culture isn't careful, we will be the Indians living on the reservation, getting the same crappy supplies from the US Govt...only diffference is our culture willing went on the reservation, unlike the Indians that were forced...
That looks really good! :) And a very interesting, yet sad, piece of history! Thanks guys!
That was a great episode, shows some of life when you're not shooting.
OMG, I've booked a trip to Zion National park and am super excited to get out where you were and taste this history!!
That's it. Out for donuts! thx guys:)
I mean, where to find fried lamb and mutton stew in Eindhoven, the Netherlands...
Hi there, you're right of highway 89. Between Cameron and Graymountain Arizona. I'm from Graymountain also. Looks delicious.
Now I have a craving for frybread & mutton
Awesome video! I like this tasting history stuff. And old west vignettes.
I'm just about to have my lunch. Now I want this.
Hey Karl and Ian. I'm a patreon subscriber, but due to some issues that I haven't yet resolved when I comment on the inrange or forgotten weapons accounts my comments disappear shortly after posting. Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this as well. On top of the fact that the Old West vignettes seem to be the only videos that are popular with my significant other, the history aspect really appeals to me because I'm from Arizona as well. Keep up the good work, we're all hungry for a little history.
Also as an aside, I hope Ian expounds on his choice to use the 92S as his sidearm in your WWSD vs Tavor 2 gun video. I own one as well and enjoy it.
That's weird? Well, we can see this one ! Thank you for your support and the positive comment! ~Karl
Arizona native here. I've had frybread before at the Arizona State Fair. I'm on the East Coast now and miss it.
Love the food reviews. I hope your next gag is forgot foods.
you guys nailed the history part. Subbed.
Great video guys
Really cool video, thanks guys :)
