A Tudor Feast - Part 1 of 4

[@joshschneider9766]

Knowing how many shows ruth and the boys went on to do, its really endearing to see this.

[@FlowerChild65]

A Peter, Alex & Ruth series I haven't seen?! Wonderful!

[@Luna.3.3.3]

I love this! I've seen all the "Farm" series (& Victorian Pharmacy) with Ruth, Peter & Alex so many times it's embarrassing to admit .. :) Such a geek! Another great show. Thanks for posting

[@dtaylor10chuckufarle]

I love the farm series too. I learn so much about history.

[@yvonne8652]

[@hannahcollins1816]

I've rewatched them soooooo many times. It's comfort-watching at its finest. Also, there's definitely nothing embarrassing about it!! Or at least, according to me there's not 😅

dont quite understand those who dislike this video, this is great history & vintage cooking education. Its not easy to make this

[@ritageorge8748]

Cooked in many state&for many people+big family&even in my 70's I'm really amazed at how Ruth in camera does it as if you're sitting at her table chatting-few obvious breaks(driving the Ambulance to a corner in Wartime farm) & all taken in stride-sheesh

Never mind, some people don’t even like themselves 😌

Im with you. I have enjoyed this documentary very much.

[@Chrisfeb68]

I really enjoy these shows....if you love history this series of shows is a wonderful trip to the past.

I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this by chance! I can't get enough of those 3. Their jobs are amazing. Thank you for the upload...I love you!

[@sandram.5666]

I remember watching this before I saw the other work Ruth Goodman has been in. Now I'm just obsessed with all these types of series.

[@jehansanzterre3956]

Indeed a wild boar is ferocious,and was considered the most dangerous game to hunt.They are reknowned for their courage and will run right up the spear they're impaled upon,to savage the rider.Amongst other Medieval notables,Richard III chose the White Boar or Blanc Sanglier as his personal badge,implying his bravery on the field of battle.Amazing series,thanks so much for sharing!

[@msatxgault560]

Wild boar all over Texas. Hunting season for them is everyday

[@GinaSigillito]

I live for these things. Awesome video.

[@michaelflynn1136]

I'm American and lived in the U.K. from '79-'83, and documentaries on the BBC were the best! I don't even watch documentaries made by American T.V. cause they just don't put in the detail like the Brits do. This show wouldn't even be put on television here in the U.S. This is great stuff.

[@ilzegrina1424]

This show is so unique. I just love it!

[@cruncherblock3834]

Thank you for uploading the series.

[@idontevenknow9758]

I love three of them so MUCH. So much love for history and an appreciation to try and recreate it with as much detail as they could.

So fascinating:)!!! I enjoy these so much! Thanks to Ruth, Alex and Peter:)!

*Grinning like a maniac* thank you for uploading this... I'm fascinated, can't wait to see the rest

[@crinoid1919]

as a chef I I have to give this my big seal of approval! VERY cool

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

I find this Fascinating! I have viewed it before, happy to see it's back on. The fact that Archaeologists are replicating recipes, clothing and actually doing the physical work that was performed 300 years ago is truly amazing.

[@MrMjp58]

This series and their others of the same ilk, are some of the best TV I’ve ever seen. Even though only made around a decade and a half ago, the beautifully relaxed and non-partisan documentary style they employed, now seems an historical thing in itself. Modern documentary style series’ are all politically slanted. All one way.

[@tnakai1971jp]

I entirely agree. The people of England should be proud.

[@catherinepowell3309]

thank you for sharing love the farms show with ruth and peter and alex

[@cassiusw90s]

This is brilliant...thanks so much for posting!

[@Muck006]

On "women and carrying water" I would say that the corsets actually help that job, because they are doing the same job those big leather belts are doing for modern day weight lifters ...

[@peachesandcream4897]

Muck006 Yes I can definitely see why they could provide support to the back. Although in older days they were much tighter, and the tighter the corset the more problematic. From what I remember of my dad, those weight lifting belts are short and do not compress your ribs and lungs in the same way? In a tight corset you cannot breathe properly which makes any physical exertion more difficult. (I recall this being demonstrated by Suzannah Lipscomb in one of her hidden killer documentaries, when corsets were at their tightest and most harmful to health.) You can get nice post partum medical corsets today that are designed especially for support, they do not crush you or suck you in like a traditional corset. They support your lower body in the way I imagine one of those belts would. topherh33 Men are naturally stronger and more physically powerful than women, that’s just nature. I mean, on average. Maybe you need some zinc or something 💪🏼

You'd have better luck grinding the almonds a sugar if you did it in smaller batches, it reduces it to powder more quickly. You can stir it up in a bigger bowl later.

[@tinachandler3091]

This is amazing!

[@baycast]

Another great series from these wonderful experts. Thank you so much.

[@dorcaswalker1867]

Marchpane can be made with honey, far more traditional and not all unlike sugared marchpane, just a nice golden color and a slight difference in taste.

[@OofusTwillip]

Yes, but rich Tudors were all about showing off their wealth. Sugar was new and extremely expensive. Honey wasn't.

[@LynxSouth]

I've watched this before, and I'm still questioning the alleged lack of a well at Haddon Hall. Most people who could afford it had a well dug, at least for use during inclement weather and when waters were muddy from rain (or so I've read, and it makes sense to me). Maybe this program chose to use fetching water with buckets and yoke to show what many people had to do. Maybe the well at Haddon had gone dry or fallen into disrepair. If anyone knows details, please reply.

[@janegent7769]

I love them too. Seen them loads.

[@diva1675]

PBS did a couple of these kind of shows in America. But that was so long ago, I wish America would produce more historical reality shows instead of "real" housewives. Does any other English speaking or (English subtitled ) country make these types of programs! Like living during the French Revolution or Italian Renaissance? Or durning the Chinese dynasties?

[@ep081598]

Check out 18th Century Cooking. It's a fascinating look at cooking during the colonial times in the US. It's really well done. Townsend also gives you instructions on how to cook your dish in a modern kitchen if you don't cook with an open fire.

[@diva1675]

+Emily P Thank you very much! I will google it now.

[@Muck006]

Honestly you can only do such a series properly for your own country. Thus french and italian series would be french and italian ... and also: there would be too much "scripting" in a series with the french revolution ... which you didnt really want (as in the reality shows). Britain doesnt have many "political changes" in its history which affects the mainland, so it is the cleanest way to document farming ... which is the point of this archaeological/historical experiment.

[@ritageorge8748]

Did they really? Oh do you recall names? Getting used to the five presenters btwn all the series on utube(I include my favorite Colin&add in Tom also)

[@ceilconstante640]

American Patriot channel does an amazing job cooking recipes from books of the colonial era. I love their log home, clothes and furniture.

@stupidintellect90 haha I just stumbled upon it too! I have watched the Farms' series' over and over and was looking for videos of the 3 and found this! YAY! Thank you!!

[@gmaureen]

12:39 Why did they not put the sugar in a pillowcase (or equivalent) and use a mallet on it? Surely there was a quicker/easier way to pound that sugar than using a mortar and pestle.

[@singkewlaw1594]

WATCHING ANOTHER PERIOD VIDEO "EAT LIKE A KING" OF HENRY 8TH. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE WORKLOAD OF HIS COOKS AND SERVANTS. AND HOW INCONSIDERATE KINGS AND ROYALTY REALLY ARE!!

[@mortimerdarkwell2260]

Anyone else find it weird Peter being called Fonz in this show? He never mentions Fonz as his nickname in Victorian Farm or Edwardian Farm.

[@OofusTwillip]

He stopped using his nickname as he got older---probably for more credibility. This is an early documentary with this team. The earliest is "Tales From the Green Valley".

[@joycewalker4850]

In every series he does

[@jerbear7952]

He only mentions itnin this one and green valley

[@terriatca1]

Watch Victorian Pharmacy, that show is great, very interesting facts.

[@904daniela]

Yeah, but I think that washing a pillow case or the like was probably more time intensive than cleaning a mortar and pestle.

[@lavoixdevelours]

I think I asked them to upload it if they could, and I watched it a few weeks ago, but thanks.

[@Stormy1_x_2]

she crossed a bridge to return with the water. was there a reason she couldn't get the water from that side of the river? Would the refuse from the castle be emptying into it there? I'm ust wondering why they choose certain spots for difficult tasks. There was a similar moment in the Edwardian series, I think, where she walked along a stretch of path beside the river for a bit before getting water. I know you try to avoid contaminates, but it's all going to be boiled. Or did the Tudors not know about boiling water for purity, not just for general use?

[@lindatruderung9378]

Boiling doesn't remove all contamination. It only kills bacteria born contamination. There is contamination from other sources as well, such as minerals and pollution.

[@jonibarger3147]

If Peter, Alex and Ruth weren't in it it wouldn't be as great

[@singkewlaw1594]

JUST WATCHING THIS AND SEEING PETER BOIL UP THOSE FEET, I'M JUST WONDERING WHY HE DIDN'T CHOP THEM UP IN VERY SMALL PIECES AS IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN 1/2 THE TIME TO RENDER DOWN?

[@ssoomee]

why is Peter called Fonz? the only thing that comes to mind is that he's named after the character on Happy Days, who was a rather suave charmer...

[@Muck006]

You might have hit the spot there ... being a "ladies man" might have given him that nickname.

[@julanesutton9626]

It was explained (during one of the series), that Peter does a great Fonzie impersonation..... thus the nickname.😊

[@zumletztenhemd]

The Question is never, how long it will take on me, much more than how it will be taste and how does it look! But for you as a educated Laymen, the Questions are not the same as they really presents to a chef!Experience and studies can never be equal!

Porridge (soupy pulse with whatever thickened with flour or rye or oats) sometimes a catch- fish, coney,thrush_ if they were allowed to. Left over cuts of meat if they coul get. Staples like turnips cabbages. Most likely it was a whats on hand sort of thing if you were poor.

What a stupid question.

[@RobinMarconeCassidyRN]

This must be so exciting to reenact how life was during this era. The backbreaking work people had to do, especially the poor women. I'm sure it didn't even matter, as they probably put it, "with child" I think it would be interesting to see today's teenagers get a taste of what life was like back then. You didn't dare refuse to do your chores. I'm wondering how they could go one day without their cell phones and electronic devices.😀 Love watching these documentaries.

[@tilly3851]

Was this in the elizabethan era?

[@tamaracarter1836]

Yes it was the Elizabethan period, as the year 1590 falls under the reign of Elizabeth I. It can also be referred to as the Tudor period because Queen Elizabeth I belonged to the dynasty of the House of Tudor (1485-1603).

I can't believe they would've been using flint n steel to light th fires. Candles n oil lamps were v. common. Surely there would've been a candle burning jes for such purposes. When a person is rising before dawn surely s/he will hav a candle on th way to th kitchen.

[@acerrubrum5749]

Sorry, Ruth but no Lady of the house would be grinding sugar and almonds for 10 hours. Quern stones for hand grinding or ar least a stone mortar with cut in cross hatching.

[@lindatruderung9378]

Actually, yes they would. Don't forget the time period. The items you mention, didn't come into use until much later among the English and other people on the British controlled lands. Same with most of Europe. Modern equipment like the mortar and pestle didn't come into common use, until much later. For her to even have that for grinding was considered very fortunate.
