"Great cheesy flavor"

I'd be scared if it tasted like anything else.

This is what poor college students ate in the 1800's.

In an alternate universe, this is eaten with a grilled tomato sandwich

This guy feels like the NPC that would take you in and tend to your wounds after stumbling across your unconscious corpse after a battle with a dragon

"now that our bread is boiled" thats a first for me

I like how the music changed from extremely ominous folk to highly upbeat after Townsends eats it, as if the combination of cheese and bread was in doubt until the very moment of tasting.

Aye, yes I remember back long ago in the year 2020, when there was a woeful pestilence upon the land. On the order of the magistrate, no longer could we freely venture to the market to acquire provisions. No salted pork nor ale nor privy parchment to be had.

Blessings upon you, sir, for helping my family survive in this time of hardship.

“I’m gonna add some pepper just for the fun of it.”

SLOW DOWN THERE, JON! Someone’s gonna hurt themselves!

A quick warning.

If there is ANY Mold on the bread... throw the bread away. Don't just try to cut off the visible mold.
Only a small part of the mold, is green and visible. The rest of the mold is oftentimes the same color as bread, and therefor invisible. Eating it can be hazardous to your health. So if you see any visible mold spots, throw the entire piece of bread away.

If its just dried out, but not moldy... it might be fine.

I can imagine Gordon Ramsey tasting this and saying "Beautiful garnish, wonderful texture, very creamy"

Just wanted to say I made an absolutely splendid soup by taking this simple recipe and running with it. I used sourdough bread, a mix of Gruyère and Parmesano Reggiano for the cheese, used 5 cups water and 2 cups apple cider as the base, then added two baked onions that had been diced up (based on John’s baked onion video) and some sun dried heirloom tomatoes. Then we used diced scallions as the garnish and sprinkled bacon bits on top and served it with sippets of sourdough toast. I think it’s one of the best soups I ever ate.

College food: microwaved pasta

i love how depressed John looks in the thumbnail, like "well, it's finally come down to this. A chunk of old cheese and stale bread. not even any nutmeg..." *starts sobbing*

This soup saved me when I have a tooth infection and couldn’t eat anything! It’s smooth enough that the bread can be slurped pass the painful sores of the mouth but filling with its carbs. Plus the saltiness helps reduce inflammation. Thank you Townsend!

It's so fascinating to see how they ate back then.
Necessity is the fuel for invention.
This actually looks really tasty on a cold winter night.

Gotta say, when the video started, and he said he was going to make a dish out of cheese and bread, I instantly thought, "He's just saying that. He'll end up adding 1400 other ingredients, like a crap-ton of seasonings, herbs, milk... basically anything that 'wouldn't count' as main ingredients." But, he didn't. I'm impressed!

Me on day 20 of quarantine: cheese and bread crumbs looks like a buffet
