Soup, Stew and Hash - 18th Century Soldier Cooking S1E4

I'm starting to think this wasn't filmed in the 18th century.

imagine being one of the few soldiers that could actually cook in a company, and how valuable he could be

[luska]

Alright, lets get this out onto a tray. NICE!

General Washington to his men: "All right men! we shall make camp here, James, get to it, start soaking the salted pork! I wish to eat stew for dinner next week..."

I think I figured out why this show is addictive. It's unpretentious. Anyone can relate to the simplicity, and the results don't have to be anything more than something you put in a bowl. The explanations are easy to remember and although I won't be doing them necessarily they are satisfying.

Potatoes, boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.

As long as the soldiers on both sides took the same time in preparation, the ensuing battles could be considered a fair fight. vis: "Put that musket down, I'm still browning the beef".

the reason they did throw bread, was that more often than not thr bread was stale and very hard. your bread appears to be fresh and very soft, so no need to throw it in.

What a difference in camera quality and editing 9 years makes. Don’t get me wrong, this is still great, but I just came to it after watching a recent posting, and the improvement in quality is remarkable. Congratulations both for this enjoyable and educational episode, as well as the continued dedication to improvement you and your team have demonstrated in your newer episodes.

I dont know how someone could give this vid the tumbs down. Really appreciated this historical stuff guys, love from Canada.

swear to god, that split pea soup recipe was like almost 1 for 1 what my grandma used to make. I still make it time to time and think of her while my kids eat it, so I tell em where I learned it from until they get tired pf hearin it.

"While our soups and stews are simmering here, lets start the hash" *lights fat ass blunt*

[diydrivenGA]

probably why the chef was such an important position....the situation would go south real quick if the chef got shot first.

[jorisbolhuis]

This was my first Townsends video. Feeling double nostalgic both about a past that I have lived and one that I have not.

i was playing dragon-age, and after seeing you finished stew and soup i finally get the joke the make about "fereldon cooking", which is based on English cooking, of throwing everything in a pot until it is a uniform gray color.

All three dishes look delicious, and I can only imagine how savory the hash tastes with the fire adding smokey flavoring. Going to have to give that a try first, cheers to another marvelous video!

[jacke]

It may not look all too appetising but if you're out in the cold and rain, tired from a long march carrying the kit a soldier then carried I bet it was a very welcome meal!
