peaceful, reminds me of home, tranquil yet full of bright life.... motivates, reminds me of how amazing cooking is and just makes my day

[NavyDood]

So thankful for that random person on Reddit linking your fried chicken episode. Been doing all sorts of historical cooking at home ever since. I always loved cooking and history and it never occurred to me that they could be combined until then.

1:30:52 possibly the crab recipe needed more flour to make it into a fried fritter. Look at the Jamaican recipe for saltfish fritters – it may be meant to be similar to that. Usually those were eaten with a fried dumpling or in a sandwich.

The morel mushroom episode reminds me of the “wild stew” my uncle makes when we’re out in the woods. Around here, there are tons of these mushrooms, wild onions and garlic and wild rice. All of this goes into a great, hearty stew. It is WONDERFUL. We sometimes use chantrelles or winecaps if we can’t fine morel.

Quite a marathon! The baked beans needed water. The onion rings looked delicious, kind of like popeyes. The Mount Vernon lady is adorable.

At 1:30:38 I love how the music stops abruptly for the foul concoction.

My wife and I do a steamed pudding every other year or so at Christmas. The biggest hit was the Suffolk Pond, which is an entire lemon cooked in a brown sugar dough so long that the lemon melts. Ends up being sweet lemon marmalade in a tasty crust.

It look so amazing intil you put the eggs in it oh naw

[sweetandlow]

I don't know how the YouTube algorithm took me here but... I'm not mad. New fan!

[Witchlord]

our family joke for figgy pudding was that you took the dried pudding and boiled it with a brick. You boil the pudding until the brick is soft and tender. Then you throw out the pudding and eat the brick 🤣

Mushroom ketchup was added for umami flavor. It was made with mushrooms, garlic, salt, shallots, water, white wine, sherry, salt, bay leaves, ginger and cloves and cayenne pepper.

Last November, for Friendsgiving, we had a Hobbit-themed party. What do Hobbits love? MUSHROOMS! So I went back and found your mushroom ketchup videos. I made both the mushroom ketchup and mushroom powder from the older video. Everyone loved it (even the elves). I recommend it highly. Love you guys. ❤

Thank you for your honesty and authenticity in discussing health topics.

I like that trick with onion and cloves "from 18th century". We have been doing that because our granny did it too :)))) Well, and we still like careaway seeds. Either we are 200 years behind or we just know what is good ;)))) Slovakia is saying hello!

Potted butter is essentially ghee. It would be kept in a crock, and it stores well for over a year 🙂

This was so incredibly fascinating. I loved seeing the excitement from scientists getting to look at such a talented and unique subject. Amazing video all around. Thanks to will for being such an awesome person!

[joshuahstedman]

I go sleep to this (in a good way), long format for the win thank you guys 😊

[patricaomas]

Having a strange dream with plum pudding, this was in the background while I slept. I woke up, to my low glucose monitor was going off.

[jaywellington]

Please consider lowering the volume of the music. Have to constantly readjust the volume. Fantastic show!!! 💜💜💜

Regarding the recipe for the meatballs with cinnamon, if you look into medieval recipes you will frequently find cinnamon added to meat. In addition, the reason the recipe calls for 4 eggs to a half pound of beef is this is designed to stretch the ground beef. The ratio of meat to bread crumbs is at least 1:1, if not 2 or 3 to 1. This does two things, it allows the small amount of beef to feed more people, and the high amount of bread crumbs and eggs add nutrition while the cinnamon sugar adds flavor to the bread crumbs and eggs.
