It's as good as it looks! Isn't it fascinating to see the dishes that existed 200 years ago? And to see that they were actually good! Come over to our 2nd channel Frontier Patriot to watch us eat this meal and give our proper review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHywdoB4aLWnm5o

[@catholicfaithofmine2664]

Yup. Old Farmers Almanac and Yankee Magazine are full of them. We still eat many recipes from 200 years ago

[@18rabbit31]

You remind me of an Early American Julia Childs love to watch you cook all those old time recipes. Very interesting and enjoy the history behind them. Thank you so much! Happy ducky 🎃🦆

Where is mine LOL 💚

[@itsadogslife65]

I grew up in a Hungarian household and my grandma made a similar version of the 200 year old receipt for fried mashed potato balls using leftover mashed potatoes. Her version was "potato cakes". Instead of breading the outside, everything was mixed together and fried in a skillet. She mostly just used onion, salt & pepper and parsley for her version as far as seasoning, omitting the rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. And of course we had duck or goose depending on what my great-uncle was able to successfully hunt.

[@amyramsay6633]

Forgive me for asking but do you have any running water nearby-I guess what I’m asking is how do you wash your hands? Between the raw meat and eggs and just the mess of mixing butter with your hands or the potatoes, I keep wondering! Thanks.

[@hannahduggan3599]

@@solitaire5856 Because back in August of 2022, me and my little brother Seth were watching The Wiggles Racing To The Rainbow. We saw Murray and Captain Feathersword singing Five Little Ducks together. Right after the song, there was a duck swimming in the water, looking very peaceful and beautiful while the instrumental version of Five Little Ducks was playing in the background. It broke my heart to realize that ducks, just like that one, were being hunted, shot, killed, plucked, and made into food.

[@Leelee...]

Beautiful looking duck, but those potato balls are the real star of the meal..You're an amazing cook.♥

[@jamieayers30]

Nutmeg in the potatoes with onion and rosemary and thyme? I didn’t see that coming! You have peaked my curiosity now! I think I am going to try this!

[@Nakita_Jade]

Nutmeg in savory cooking is fantastic! It is an unlikely combo in modern cooking but in classic French it’s used in sauces, especially cheese sauces because it brings out the flavor. Much like adding salt to baked goods!

[@LillyR539]

Correct 😁😁😁

[@vickipetilli2854]

Well, that’s good timing for Thanksgiving leftovers! It looks wonderful!

I can taste the duck as I watch this video. I started roasting duck two years ago. When done right, it's delicious. Makes a heck of a mess in the oven.... splattering this way and that... but I love the taste of potatoes and onions roasted in the duck fat at the bottom of the pan. As to your spreading butter with breadcrumbs at the outset, that is something I've never heard of....and will try. As always, nice to see the wood burning fire blazing away....
