Loving all of this. The Earl of Sandwich is a darling man!

[@cherryclan1]

We should all take a lesson from the Earl as he’s trying the ice cream. A tempered yet honest assessment finished with what almost sounds like a compliment “it will certainly go well with a biscuit”. Lovely gentleman.

[@MD11339]

I am so glad you brought your husband out from behind the camera. He has such a dry wit, he keeps me laughing. You both are great together. Your show reminds of some old British comedy shows I used to watch here in the states. You two bounce off each other beautifully. Keep up the good work.

@@MappertonLive I love having your husband on the videos! I’m from Virginia (named for Elizabeth I, “the virgin Queen”) in the States. My DNA 🧬 is a full half English from the time of 1066. But, I digress 🙃. All of that to say I love your husband’s accent, and dry wit! You are wonderful on your own, Julie🥰. But, it’s more fun to hear your Midwest USA 🇺🇸 banter with his amazing proper British accent😍. I could listen to that accent all day, even reading 📖 the Oxford dictionary 🥰. Julie, your accent saying the word “literally “ is almost there! That is such a delicious word spoken in a proper British accent. “….quite literally” 💗.

I don’t think you put the chocolate IN the salt ice, I think you put the CARAFE containing the chocolate into the salt ice to make it very cold. Genuine bush freezer technique

[@pheart2381]

But the chocolate would need some kind of liquid in with it. Chocolate was originally a savoury rather than sweet drink.

[@Chuck0856]

I thought the same thing.

[@williamevans9426]

I've only just discovered this video. I think 'prepare ye chocolatee' means to prepare the chocolate as one would a chocolate drink (i.e., using cocoa, milk, cinnamon and sugar/honey) - the first chocolate houses in London dating from the 1650s. Then, as Ms Hobbs says, the container of liquid chocolate is placed in a 'freezing mixture' of ice, salt and a little water (this will cool to well below freezing point; depending on the proportion of salt used it can reach as low as -20 celcius). By stirring the liquid chocolate while its container is thereby 'super-cooled', it will eventually start to freeze into 'tender curled ice' (i.e., ice cream), as described. Hence, the frozen chocolate would have been a cold, solid version of the delicious Spanish chocolate drink also described, rather than the weak 'granola' prepared here!

Awww man! How incredible! This is incredible! I know the British are very firm and strong about their privacy. But I am so glad the Earl of Sandwich is so open to sharing. I mean don’t keep this to yourself. I enjoy history. I didn’t even know the Earl of Sandwich was actually the pioneer of sandwiches. Now you’re saying they are the pioneers of chocolate ice cream in the 15th century? Amazing! Really. Truly. I’m in love with that library to be honest. Just that library itself can have its own stand alone KZbin Channel. This channel has many great episodes. But this one is really up there.

[@SeldimSeen1]

Wikepedia reports that the Italians invented chocolate ice cream in 1698 but obviously this is one of those times that Wikipedia needs to be updated.

[@boblowney]

what I love is Julie's reverence for the diaries and other items from so long ago. The Earl is like, oh this is just something from our library. We Americans think something 200 years old is ancient and the Brits think it is simply retro.

[@mariadegan1029]

More than “ice cream” it seems to be like a chocolate granita?? That’s how it’s made in Italy (Sicily) and probably Spain too?? Originally from the Arab countries. The hot chocolate sounds delicious!! The Spanish brought it back from Mexico where they used cayenne pepper instead of black pepper, so it was rather spicy! I’m going to try using your recipe for the hot chocolate with “peperoncino” in place of pepper 😉😋

Another great video. History of chocolate is fascinating, I work in a museum devoted to the history of the Iberian Peninsula and the Hispanic world. In the museum we have a good number of manuscripts and objects related to the trade and consumption of chocolate. Regarding the questions about "amber" , yes they refered to the fossilized resin; "considered an aphrodisiac in Arabic medicine and used as an additive in European recipes such as hot chocolate" I wonder which kind of objects and the books the Earl of Sandwich brought back to England from Spain.

[@missmollygoodgolly6088]

I was thinking "amber" referred to honey

Jamaica Pepper refers to what we now call "All Spice" (though black pepper in the hot chocolate was probably also good!). I loved this episode, really fun!

Yes! I was raised on the gulf coast in the US, and the words were interchangeable. Also, because Texas, chili pepper in a very deep chocolate is delicious.

When I made Mexican hot chocolate for my daughter. I used cayenne pepper and it was so good. has anyone had it?

[@surquhart64]

A Jamaican follower here. Allspice in Jamaica is also called Pimento, it stems from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica, a relative of the clove and native to the West Indies and Central America. It got its name - Allspice - during the 17th century when the berries where imported into Europe and its tastes were said to be rather like a combination of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is used in almost every Jamaican dish, including our famous Jerk sauce - even used in our Easter Buns and Christmas cakes. Intriguing recipe, 🤔although I'm not sure about the 'snow' - it could be that the cold of the snow was used, along with rock salt, in an outer bowl to keep cream at the ideal temperature as it was 'churned'.

[@surquhart64]

[@amandamodin4912]

Might the 1st Earl have intended the chocolate to have been the hot chocolate, cooled then added to the ice with a bit of salt and then shaken.

[@christineperez7562]

They are missing ingredients. You have to grind the chocolate a lot longer than that. Plud sugar and milk.

[@thecupthatcheers9763]

Ambergris was used as a flavoring agent in the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as an ingredient in perfume, so that's probably what your recipe called for as "amber". The Jamaica pepper is now called allspice.

I believe the Jamaican pepper in this recipe, since it was said to be a Spanish recipe would be a pinch of Cayenne. My family is of Spanish/Mexican Ancestry and have used Cayenne in Hot Cocoa for generations. Hot Chocolate I believe was a Mayan creation.

Julie, I won a scholarship to Ohio State for my book antiquities collection you won't hurt the books unless extremely careless. Ohio States actually lets students, faculty and alumni use their extensive rare books library. I have handled a rare first folio of Shakespeare valued at more than $2 million dollars and a first edition Macbeth - wash your hands, be gentle and don't spill tea and you will be fine. I notice on the table that the Earl is not even afraid of photocopying which says a lot. The Earl seemed to enjoy sharing the journal with you and could be a great way for the two of you to bond further.

They must have put the mixer with the cocoa, sugar and spices, milk. and then place the shaker inside the ice adding the salt to the ice to keep it cold and then turn the mixer for several minutes so that the mixture begins to form ice and this becomes the ice cream, confirm it is turning. This technique in Mexico is called “nieve de garrafa”

Regular homemade ice cream, the ice and salt are in the bigger container surrounding the inner container to chill the ice cream ingredients quickly. Salt makes the ice colder because it melts a bit. You don't mix the ice and salt with the ice cream ingredients. Just my guess. If you took the same mixture for hot chocolate using cream and sugar, that might work. Cheers.

[@adventuresinlaurenland]

As someone whose family history is involved in the whaling industry in Massachusetts, I can tell you exactly what "amber" is (and it isn't an old plant based milk alternative 😂). Sperm whales are the producers of the substance. The whales subsist on enormous quantities of squid, and an occasional unlucky animal (perhaps one in one hundred) gets squid beaks caught in its gut. As the mass grows, the animal secretes a fluid around it, transforming it into ambergris (or amber, as it was commonly called).

He would have a caco stone and he would powder it! Its like a flat mortar and pestle ! Cacao stones would have come from Mexico area and South of there. The Aztecs were the first to process chocolate. They put cinnamon in there coco. I don't think they had sugar. If they did it was not common.

[@SuselLee]

Hi, My name is Susel and I am from Mexico. It is wonderful that your family has that recipe. In our history, the Aztecs use the snow from the volcano Popocatepetl to make xocolati cepayalli. Is like chocolate sherbet. In Mexico we cal icecream, helado because is cream base and sherbets we call them nieve that is the Spanish word for snow in nahuat is cepayahuitl. Cepayalli is flavor snow. I have tested the ice and cocoa powder but did not care much about it. But I do care for paradox! Xoco in Nahuatl means hot. The word xocolati means bitter hot juice. Therefore you have bitter-hot-snow-juice. Maybe that is why the doctor recommended it to drink the Mexican chocolate drink recipe. (That is the mestizos' recipe, not the Aztec because the latter didn't have sugar) I believe that the first icecream was made in the 1530s at a Medici wedding but thank those brave men from the Era of Discovery is that we have chocolate icecream. your ancestor was a brave man, for many years Europeans would not taste many of the foods from the Americas. Bringing Europe the cacao from Mexico and the sugar cane from New Guinea we would not have all the wonderful variety of foods. Your ancestor, the first earl of Sandwich was brave because if the Spanish had made and eat that chocolate sherbet I believe that by the time the earl of Sandwich had made it doctors would have been aware that it was not poisonous. From the time Hernan Cortez arrived in the 1500s to your ancestor it elapsed 200 years. I am pretty sure doctors would have noticed that the chocolate sherbet was good. But it took a brave and kind heart to make it to Europe. I do say he was kind-hearted because there were many prejudices in Europe and in Spain towards the Americas in those times. And he, the first earl, had to show the Spanish monarchy to make the xocolati cepayalli. (James 2:18) I am thankful to you and your family for kindly sharing this story and also to the Spanish Royal house for giving you part of your history. Now thanks to the brave men of the age of discovery and exploration we can enjoy a 😏 bitter-"sweet"-hot-snow-juice. I hope your family has many blessings and prosperity from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Wouldn't the actual snow be a bit unsafe? Chocolate syrup on a snow cone maybe when the recipe is figured out. Another thought combine the hot chocolate recipe for ice cream instead by using a custard base when you get the ice cream maker from Cuisinart which comes with a core which I mentioned in previous post.
