What Cowboys Ate | Life during the 1800s Cattle Drives

----------------------- hey Kent ......back then cowboys wanted tobacco in their pockets more importantly their mouths keep em moist n imo probably caught buzz on the damn nicotine..... between water sources they had to conserve their water supplies , if I ever set out to be cowboy I'll have foot of foam n pillow on top between me n saddle happy trails ....

My father was raised on a ranch and he makes a mean campfire breakfast. Coffee, bacon, and scramble eggs.

[@KU9L]

Mmmmm. When I was born on the family farm in 1961 there were 4 generations living and working on it. At age 5 I was gathering eggs with my great grandma, I thought she was watching me to ensure I was safe, but I found out later that I was watching her as she was a recovering cancer patient. She continued to gather those eggs, work in the gardens, and wash all of the butchering equipment until I was age 12 when she suddenly passed away, happy as a lark just moments before. The family farm is just a memory now, but all of those values are instilled into me and I get pretty choked up when I watch videos like yours because even being raised as a sodbuster on a small family farm life was quite the struggle at times. Many of our cousins lived in a similar setup, some of them hauled their horse trailers hundreds of miles away to hire themselves out to locate and recover lost cattle & livestock. We had huge family get-togethers at holidays and all of those farmhouses had huge kitchens to feed large families, we enjoyed many of the same dishes you mentioned plus all of the fresh vegetables picked on the 3-4 acre gardens. It is my personal observation that what killed the family farm was the processed food with preservatives and artificial ingredients that brought cancer, diabetes, and heart attacks not a problem before that. Shortcuts in the kitchen brought to us by Monsanto were not the friend we needed in cooking. I said too much. Cheers, and keep up those traditional values! -Dave

@@CowboyKentRollins I’m a fan of yours but what you said at the start of this video was disappointing. You said the West was largely “unsettled” just after the Civil War before people from the East & South moved there. This is patently false as there were hundreds of thousands of Native Americans already settled in the West, some of whom had been there for thousands of years (others had been forcefully resettled by the US government, e.g. to Oklahoma).

What a fascinating history of how farmers and ranchers lived in early America. Cheers, Kent and Shannon! ✌️

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Dwayne Shannon did a great job

[@elizabethcosta8858]

So really enjoyed this video. It's important to remember what those good ole Cowboys did for us and the hard work they went through. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.🙏🇺🇸❤️

Mr Kent, you always make me proud of my humble, country, family farmin upbringing! Thank you sir for bringing this to KZbin for all the world to see

[@peggys.450]

Thank you SO much! I love history and cooking history is a fav of mine and most especially anything old school American like our chuckwagon chefs that are the magicians of all chefs, turn what seems a hard meal to eat into something surprisingly good. God Bless them all!🤠

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jonleonguerrero]

Thank you Kent! Your channel is great and I sure appreciate all the hard work you do and the stories you tell.

[@edithdavis2848]

You are an amazing person Kent Rollins you feed the body, mind and soul something others only think about doing, you are doing it an amazing job of it. Love you, Shannon and all the pups.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks so much

[@brianhonaker]

I think this is my favorite video you have ever done. I know you tell us all the time how you feed them cowboys, but actually talking about how you do it today vs yesterday is exactly what I've been wondering about for years. I think I had decided that you had a setup for KZbin in a field somewhere. Glad to know old boys are still out there feeding old boys the old way.

A part of my heritage that i will never quit

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!! Historical stories of our much loved Cowboys and our Beautiful Country. God Bless America and all of the people, pioneers and Heros that we Love!!! 🇺🇸🗽🙏❤🇺🇸🗽🙏❤

[@kevinsmith1513]

We enjoyed the history lesson. If you could interview some younger trail cooks, hearing their perspective along with their favorite techniques and recipes would be interesting.

[@adamsurls4547]

I love listening to these stories … not only a great “cookie” but a great storyteller

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Adam

[@lisawoods405]

Loved this…. A lot of people have no clue how life on the ranch is….

[@dpo1960]

Yea I’m one of them. My whole life I have wanted to live that life and now I’m 62 years old living in a suburb of Chicago wondering if I can do it when I retire In the next few years. Never to late to dream!

[@kathmandu1575]

[@vanessajazp6341]

Who else here is thinking about that infamous scene in Blazing Saddles, where they're sitting around the campfire eating beans?

[@notoriousbastards11]

I love hearing you talk about food

[@360fanboy360]

so heart warming

[@charlesprice7790]

Love the history lesson along with how it still applies to today. Keep up the great work.

[@DancerOfClouds]

Thanks Kent. I went to a "Cowboy Breakfast" on King Ranch a few years back, now there were many hundreds of people there, walking around. Lot's of venders and lot's of noise. But I have never been prouder; when amongs the noise and the chaos, a girl began singing the National Anthem. The whole place went silent in a heart beat. You can take a boy from the range, but not the range from the boy. Thank you so much for sharing your legacy with us,

[@wrennieweir6488]
