When I was a little boy, we visited Williamsburg, VA in it's early days of tourism. My dad saw the bill of fare at the inn: Beefsteak, Saratoga Potatoes and Garden Salad. He thought it would be a nice meal. He was soooo mad when we got a hamburger, potato chips and a piece of lettuce and tomato. This was the early 1960's.😂😂

[@chooseus1st]

In the 18th & 19th centuries in Europe the folks drank a lot of alcoholic beverages because the water was often considered not safe to drink. Perhaps that same reasoning was used in cooking as a method of making the food (meat) safe to eat. Good job guys, Love your work.

[@hankdoughty4375]

Was my thoughts exactly. The alcohol was a disinfectant they knew it preserved things stands to reason they put it in for that purpose.

[@kevinvilleneuve5030]

My family is French-Canadian, and the national dish of Québec is tourtière, a pie made with ground pork and some of the same spices as these Hamburg sausages- nutmeg, cloves, and garlic. It’s definitely an acquired taste if you’re not used to it. It must be an old recipe like this one.

[@artifactartstudio107]

My ancestors are from Canada and my Mémé made a “French” meat pie with those same ingredients. I find it’s delicious.

[@rebeccalyons1327]

I love pork pie. That’s what it was called by the people of French Canadian decent in New England.

[@melaniea3951]

I love Tourtière! So comforting.

[@melissasaint3283]

You put garlic in your tourtière? My Mémère and Pèpére. would never let me do any such thing, nor would my husband's old Matounte, who gave me her recipe. Maybe it's regional? In my parts at least, the spices here are within the realm of right, but it's strictly minced onion in the pie....the garlic is right out, and garlic and rum would bring tears to Reveillons, lol

[@danawinslett7505]

We had a Jersey cow when I grew up who gave a gallon of milk every morning. We'd strain off the cream and put it in a Mason jar with a little salt. Sit on the porch shaking it and had butter is a short amount of time.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Didn't see your post, we did the same thing. Good stuff.

[@user-oe6wq7pu8d]

Dad and his brothers put it into a quart Mason jar and sat on the kitchen floor and rolled it back and forth to make butter. It was a chore they did until they were driving age. They were taught to roll to keep from breaking the glass and grandma never had a butter churn. ( she said that an ice cream churn makes good butter if you have lots of cream and no electricity)

[@dallisnicole7101]

I have a black kitty that I found on Halloween last year he was so afraid of people but now he is so laid back The burger was surprisingly considered good

[@toniab3037]

I would try the burger ❤

[@toniab3037]

I just had to respond to the kitty sighting

[@bowiearcangeli11]

It’s so good that Ron is so handy with wood. He’ll have paddles made for your butter churn in no time flat! Loved the episode. You guys are so fun together 💜

[@mntns2014]

I had to look up “To Anacreon In Heaven” after you mentioned it, Justine. It’s interesting as an English drinking song, but I’ve always loved the tune of our Star Spangled Banner (National Anthem).

[@femalism1715]

With all the fixings added to the basic receipt, you have a modern gourmet burger!!! Good job Justine & Ron.

[@Ameslan1]

Wow I learned a lot from Justine and Ron tonight! I also noticed in the receipt "pease porridge" I am surprised that the nursery rhyme my Mother used to say must have been from back then also .. "Pease porridge hot....pease porridge cold... pease porridge in the pot nine days old!" I am surprised you both did not try the burgers with ye olde timey mushroom ketsup! :) You must have ran out of the mushroom ketsup? I wonder if the burgers would taste better that way? With the new segment Weird history facts.. you sure can talk about some VERY WEIRD old laws that are STILL around in some places in the USA also with those laws starting a very long time ago.

[@baylorsailor]

I've made sandwiches using hotdogs, much like this! I remove the casing on sausage before cooking if it's tough. Makes a difference.

[@sharendonnelly7770]

While watching the previous video on Hamburg sausage I did think the wine/rum addition was odd, but as it was a sausage that could be smoked to last a year, the addition was not unusual for the preservation methods of the time period. Would definitely be an odd taste for modern palates in a burger. After reading the event list for the Jour de Fete in Ste. Genevieve... please explain "duck races". LOL All I can envision is the Kentucky Derby, ducks with squirrel jockeys on their backs, and mint juleps drunk as their favorite quaker rounds the bend!

[@chloenyan9952]

When cooked it doesn't taste like alcool. It has a taste but it's not the strong alcoolic taste it has when uncoocked. You could eat a meal without knowing it has wine in it if you don't know it's cooked taste

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great buy on the hand crank churn. Most people have no clue what they have. Grandma's was a crock style with the wooden dasher.

[@TastySchu4]

This dish reminded me of a Korean hamburg steak. They add what we in America see as maybe odd seasonings but it sounds really good. It has savory, sweet, herbs, salty, sour, and something else I think. All combined for their unique different flavors. So it's not too far off from what some people still eat today 😁👍🩷. Great job once again Justine 😊💕.

[@chrismcelligott5462]

Now this is an old fashioned hamburger!

[@karenhummel49]

The cabin looks so cute for summer and I love the chicken Justine & Ron. I inherited a large butter churn you would adore from my great aunt. Thanks for all of the fun you bring every week. Be blessed until we meet again! xoxo

[@carolynspencer7558]

Interesting side note, for a short time around the WW2 era the hamburger was called a Salisbury steak.

[@LauraS_1194]

That truly sounds like a modern gourmet burger with the fixings on it!😀❤

[@Dan_TheMedievalGuild]

I loved that ending. It shows how playful and real you guys are. I enjoy your videos immensely. Oh yeah. I think I'd be chowing on that hamburg (er). It looked pretty tasty and almost resembled a real hamburger. You guys rock.

[@karenmar1529]

Great video. I would agree that I wouldn't enjoy a strong wine taste but other than that it looked nice. Bonus the extra toppings are always good. I hope the butter war happens. Justine your dancing at the end was great your so funny. Loved both of your outfits too.

[@backtonature1150]

That's such a great deal on that butter churn! I have been looking for an older one preferably with the stick for forever, but they are super expensive!

[@sassykassispages]

Congratulations on the butter churn!!

[@HalfLatinaJoy86]

OMG you two are adorable together! I love the churn too. The antique shop probably thought it was a washer because it lacked the paddle, which is good because they'd probably have figured it out otherwise and it'd have been higher.

[@danreynolds7192]

Cheese burger in paradise! Cant wait!

You guys ROCK!! Great job once again!!! Thanks so much!!!!!

[@timothymorgereth1438]

There is a diner in New Haven, CT that has been in business since 1895. They claim to have put on their menu the first classic American hamburger in 1900. They still prepare it the same way ever since.

[@wiscomagpie]

Maybe the wine was used to tenderize the meat?

[@gloworm6387]

More likely to kill any bacteria

[@galeeverton5615]

Alcohol will tenderize meat. If I use a lesser expensive cut of beef I let it sit in beer overnight.

[@jukthewise8776]

Great episode! I'm really looking forward to the butter-making race!

[@rebeccaback3287]

Appreciate the history on the hamburger.Also the other history lesson. Job well done Ron and Justine.David Back.

[@russellrollain5295]

Here's what I'm thinking. Your comment as to why the recipe used wine, or any other alcohol, may be because there wasn''t a whole lot of clean water back then and the only source of totally clean water, happened to be in the form of alcohol. Just like the Western United States in the early 1800's. Little towns didn't have much (if any) clean water. So they drank alcohol. Now this is just my own thought on it. I'm not an expert on ANYTHING. 👍🏽

[@SilverCreekHomestead]

Love watching y’all!! We homeschool & are studying early America this year. We will be making some of your recipes! It will not be this one though. lol We also are living in a camper and moving on our new land soon (we pray it all goes through well but that is in Gods hands!) and will be cooking open fire, so your channel is going to perfect for giving us some fun!! 😅 Watched the making of it first, and I feel like there were some bloopers in the making. I think you guys had to work hard to keep a straight face while stuffing the sausage!!! lol Thanks for the great channels!!!

[@frontierpatriot]

Megan that is awesome and yea we dont recommend that dish lol the dish we did last week was a home run though! We wish you and your family the best!

[@staceypenn1095]

When making the butter, let the milk set in ceramic bowls, so that the cream will rise to the top. Then skim off the cream and put that in the butter churn. I think this will be a fun and informative experiment.

[@johndayan7126]

Even with a modern burger, it's all the things on it that tastes the best. The burger is just the thing you put all the good stuff on. One of the reasons people don't like wine, is that they are drinking/using bad wine. Always enjoy your videos! Thanks!

[@Natalie-co7su]

Thank you both so much for another great video!!! As I kept hearing you talk about the pairing of the wine and the beef, I couldn't help but remember when we went to the 'Melting Pot' restaurant and had their signature fondue. I was not a fan at all either... and I like wine! Something about beef/steak cooked and boiled in wine... not so much :( Coq Au Vin Burgundy Wine, Mushrooms, Scallions, Garlic Thanks again and keep it up. Love you guys!!

I love alcohol in food! I come from a Swiss background and it's common place to make cheese fondue with cherry liquor mixed in. Honestly it's the cheese, garlic and liquor all together that makes it so amazing 🤤 Guinness in an Irish stew is delicious too! Beef bourguignon is made with port or wine and is awesome!

We still call it tomato sauce in Australia. We can buy a slightly different flavour called ketchup but it's still very similar and only one or two brands will make it. Ketchup is usually a sweet version. We use them exactly the same. Also, I found it strange you called a recipe a receipt. Maybe in the period you present, receipt was used in America? Recipe was originally used to describe a medicinal concoction is all I know.

I find myself watching this channel more then the other because I can listen to this one but the other is best enjoyed watching it. Not a complaint,just an observation.

[@autumninvirginia1229]

Just a thought. Wine is acidic and can tenderize and slow spoilage. Same with rum. Yes there were alcoholics back then however alcohol also slows spoilage. Since they had so much illness back then I would think that some use was in hopes of preventing illness. I did not watch the cooking part I do not know how much wine it called for. When I make beef stew sometimes I add a 1/4 cup og red which brightens the flavors without a wine taste.

Justine, my grandpa on my dad's side, born in England late 1800s, made beef sausage, mashed potatoes and peas for Sunday dinner. He'd make gravy after browning the beef sausage. There's a deli near me where you can still buy beef sausage. Delicious with NO wine. Yummy.

[@brendajackson913]

My grandmother used a crock butter churn with a dasher still in the 1960s to early 70s..... I've churned many batches of butter.

[@HosiePosie13]

Awesome video as always! I was eating some calabrese salami the other day and noticed the ingredients said it was made with wine so I wonder if it’s just a sausage type thing? I enjoy adding red wine to a hearty tomato sauce or meat sauce but it’s really the only time I add wine to food because it cooks off over a long time on the stove and gives a nice flavor. Anyway y’all rock! Revolutionary war is my favorite time period to learn about and I absolutely love your clothes! Do you have a favorite place you shop for those? Xoxo

[@lgaines6428]

You got a butter Churn! OMG I can't wait!!! Whoop whoop

[@lanilani1418]

About the wine….I agree with you; but I do put red wine into my ground beef mixture for shepherds pie; however it’s definitely not as strong because the wine gets reduced and just gives it some depth of flavor because you also have the tomato base and Worcestershire that reduces down with it before assembling and eating it.

[@nicoleneubauer2756]

I remember my Grandmaw making butter in the plunger style churn in the late 1970s. Now this was unusual for Western NC. I was very young, what I remember was that they had a milking cow. The milk would be left to sour in the churn. The butter was tangy. I think I remember that they only churned the cream and drank the "skimmed" milk. Maybe it took a couple of days to accumulate enough cream.

[@mrs.g.9816]

Like you, I wouldn't like to add wine or spirits to a home-made sausage or "Hamburg steak". I was figuring that back in the 18th century, people added spirits to their food to help keep the food safe to eat. Smoking meats was (and still is!) a great idea. I think all meats taste wonderful after they've been smoked. 😋

No meat grinders but you could still pound the meat into soft texture . Might want to cover with muslin while pounding depending on how well washed the meat is of blood.
