Baking The Strangest Chicken Pot Pie From 1805 |ASMR Historical Cooking| 2 Whole Chickens Pie

[@EarlyAmerican]

So what's the deal with tearing the pasty off (back then this was called the paste). In meat pies where the meat is being cooked bone in the paste is there mearly to keep the meat moist while cooking. This works better than any cast iron lid as the pasty soaks up water inside which ensures that the contents of the pie do not dry out. Unlike with modern pies, the paste was meant to be removed once done cooking. The meat would then be taken out to be cut up and served. The paste also served as a transportation vessel which was much lighter than cooking pots. This meant that you could transport your pies in a relatively clean and lightweight dish if you were to take it out. That is part of why meat pies were one of the most commonly given foods to prison inmates from visiting families. Easy to transport, stores well and you can even eat the paste it comes in. Some chose to eat the cut up paste and serve it on the side while others threw it out/fed it to livestock. Sometimes these pastes were very simple and were nothing more than flour and water. Well I'm one of those individuals who enjoys dipping the paste in gravy so of course I had to keep it. This practice, which is definitely strange by today's standards, was 100s of years old by 1805 and didn't fall out of fashion till the mid Victorian period.

Yummy. Food looks good too

Interesting cooking, but looked yummy. I agree about dipping crust in gravy, don't need to make biscuits 👍yum! Did ya close the door so your chickens couldn't see what you were cooking??! 🐥😬You should talk to them as you feed, they get to know your voice. A Michigander opinion✌️

[@janet20257]

I never realized that the "paste" was originally an actual lid that might even be discarded! Thank you for that bit of culinary history!

Question: I thought that feeding rice to birds was bad for them as rice can swell and burst their stomachs.

[@nette49]

Except remember, they had to pee and poop either in a chamber pot, then empty it and wash it. Or go to the outhouse. And no running water. No stove it seems. Not too crazy about the "good old days".

[@big_burly_bro]

This was a tough way of living but simpler and less complicated. It'd be a hard transition if this was once again the new norm for people. That'd being said I'd love it for a week or two to clear the mind.

[@Hulachowdown]

The one time I made bread taught me to never waste it again. It took me half a day to make the dough and normally ppl forget that ( I don’t think I actually understood how wasteful I was being before but once you know you are more careful).

[@amysheffield9583]

Eric very true.

[@laurasmusings1865]

The best ways often come from our older patrons, those were simpler times, but just down home goodness!

[@xbrandi12345x]

Anytime I make bread it comes out dry. I don't know what I do wrong. Even in an electric breadmaker it is still so dry nobody wants any and I can't say I blame them. I feel like I learned absolutely nothing about how to survive when I was in public school in Maine in the 1990's. So many of us would be in trouble if we lost luxuries like grocery stores, automobiles and electricity

[@laurasmusings1865]

@@xbrandi12345x most of the times of bread comes out dry, it's an off balance of too much flour or not enough liquid. Usually, the culprit is flour. Alot of recipes call, for example, 3 cups of flour and different climates, humidity may not require 3 cups, so instead add only 2 cups and work in what you may need from kneading and stirring. I learned the hard way as well. As far as bread machines, there's a specific order, usually liquid, fat, yeast go in first, then the dry on top of that (you can research your specific machine and it'll give you instructions how to layer the ingredients) , I really don't like the bread machine method (I've always had excellent results though), but to me it's invasive with my desire to make different things with it, it's an ornery thing to deal with. Hope this helps!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

They used the crust to create a seal that made the chicken so tender. Then ate it like flatbread or crackers. Quite the 1 dish dinner back then I’m sure.

[@aprilgraham-tash1124]

Wow 😮😮😮 Very, very crazy way of going about things!! Of course it makes more sense to cook your chickens in a covered iron pot, (but I understand the weight issue of transporting the pot, etc, etc) then de-bone them, then put the meat&veggies in a crust and bake. I truly appreciate tho, that you stayed true to the original "receipt"/recipe. Well done Justine! 🖒🖒💕

Out here in the Dakotas 100 years ago the miners ate what was called "pasties" which were hand held meat pies wrapped in pastry. I always wondered where the word "pasty" derived from. Now I know, thanks.

[@fallinginthed33p]

Derived from Cornish pasties probably. Cornwall had plenty of mines in the 1800s and migrants from there could have headed west to do the same thing.

[@kevmicjen]

@@fallinginthed33p it is said that you'll find a Cornish man in every mine in the world. They traveled far and wide to go underground.

[@lynnodonnell4764]

Medieval folk also ate pasties.

[@susanmorano405]

I learned about "pasties" from reading the Poldark series of books by Winston Graham. Set in Cornwall between 1783-1799 (don't bother with any books beyond the eighth).

Just a quick note to let you know that yours is the first site that I have ever subscribed to! Ron's channel also. But, I have been enjoying the cooking videos so much, it takes me back to my childhood. We didn't do historic living, but, I grew up on a small farm in upstate New York where in the winter if the power went out we had to cook on the wood stove in the kitchen. But, unlike some of our neighbors we didn't go hungry because our home still had those vintage kitchen appliances. Modern people sometimes are crippled by the tech that has become so much apart of life.

[@lordfaladar6261]

Chickens were often cooked that way as they were a working animal, that is they were egg layers ond only when they were to old to lay anymore were they eaten, so they tended to be on the tough side, the males were Spayed, except the Rooster and you ended up with a Capon which were pricey. so most chicken were "stewing chickens as that was a good way to make them tender. by the way Have Ron make you a large cutting Board with a handle on both ends. it will make cleaning up easier and save that table of your from getting scared up. and when the food is done you can use it as a Serving "Board". Love the videos! next time make a Venison roast as that tended to be the main type of meat, other the squirrel or rabbit or other small game. but Rabbit it easier to get at your local market. do you have a Quern? its a small mill to grind grains, most homes that small made there own flour if thewy were in the Wilderness, that is 10 more more miles from town. Thats enough from me for now!
