Cherokee food needs more recognition I’m glad he did this

[@TJ-bg4fw]

Wish we Cherokee's could take the honor for finding out about nixtamalization, how ever it was in fact the ancient natives of Mexico that discovered it. They deserve the credit for hominy, and quite a few of Mexico's epic foods.

[@bananatron6930]

I'm actually curious: was it discovered independently two different times? Or was the information communicated by trade/other interaction?

[@TJ-bg4fw]

@@bananatron6930 Likely trade, there is quite a bit of evidence of exchanges between tribes. Look up Cahokia if you aren't familiar, massive native American settlement

[@alexcontreras6103]

@@bananatron6930 There was a lot of trade you find evidence in the jewelry and food. What was most interesting is that trade between north and south is a far more diffcult thing for people at that time to accomplish unlike east to west or west to east like what took place in Europe, Middle East, and Asia. Because climate and UV intensity changes far more drastically, which plays a huge role in the settlement of agriculture and animals so things would take a little more time for selective breeding and adaption

[@Castlecoke]

Its still an indigenous food that we share with each other and enjoy. Fam. 🤗

[@TJ-bg4fw]

So this is SUPER LATE, how ever it may have come from cultural exchange via migrations. I picked up semi-recently that there is apparently a myth about the Cherokee tribe traveling up and through South, Central, and North America to where they settled along the east coast. It's highly probable that it came from cultural exchange due to migration instead of trade!

Physical resemblance shouldn't be too shocking, as you're both/all descendants of Asians that crossed the land bridge 1000's of years ago and migrated down through the America's.

[@justanobadi6655]

Now forgive me, but as a southerner I always learned (since my mother made it often) that a corn and bean stew was a sucotash (which I suppose is a mistranslation of a native word for a type of stew) and hominy referred specifically to ground corn grits.

[@TashaXi]

Your mother is right. Both are Algonquin dishes and names adopted by the Cherokee. Succotash is usually corn and lima beans, but any beans can be used.

[@somerandomguy5977]

You're thinking amerindian not Algonquin. That's a tribe from like Ontario/Québec regions of Canada. Not close at all to Cherokees. The Algonquins also didn't est this.

[@RRRREALbadman]

That's pretty cool, I like to see how distant cultures can still share specific customs and traditions from a common root like for example here the Amerind language family points to the majority of native American cultures sharing a common root

[@FoulOwl2112]

[@alparslankorkmaz2964]

Nice video.

[@noelhutchins7366]

There's a very real risk of malnourishment, starvation, and Pellagra when arriving at sustenance based on corn/maize; the ash-lye chemically alters corn's composition creating bio-available nutrients which otherwise remain indigestible: being full of food and still starving, is a slow death, precipitated by skin-disease, psychosis, and gastroenteritis.

[@noelhutchins7366]

Fluffy ash from a live-wood-fire is a seasoning; try an ash crust on venison: prepare the meat and then lay the portion into the ash momentarily on both sides, allowing the juices to pick up an ash-rind. Ash conveys flavors to another plane of savoriness; each wood tastes different, I suggest madrone and manzanita.

[@introspectah]

Can you point me to some Lecture on this?

[@nowandaround312]

Gordon: *removes corn from the cob* Cherokee woman: "See you lookin' like a pro." 🤣 Obviously he looks like a pro, he's a professional chef, although even a six-year-old could do that task. This is the third time I've seen a cook on this show be really patronizing and treat Gordon like he's a complete novice.

[@player-bd7hi]

[@kzendo6542]

I really wish they would show how the charcoal was used; they completely skipped that part. I really want to make this :’(

[@ron7380]

You use dry ash, not charcoal, which is unburned wood. sift ash through metal colander. 1 part wood ash, 1 part corn, 4 parts water, in non-reactive kettle. Simmer one hour, let stand as is over night, rinse several times while rubbing between hands to remove pericarp (shell) and ash. Use hominy as is or grind to make masa. Dry masa and then grind to make masa harina.

@@ron7380 I see… thank you

[@Mike__B]

I assume this is a small clip of a larger episode? Because they went from pouring the ash into a pot to crunching corn with a big stick and then there was bean and hominy soup?

[@SMOOV415]

Ive just recently been on a mission to find the real hominy grits I grew up with. We had it with EVERYTHING! When I say you can make a whole meal around grits. They only have instant in the stores. Not the same texture and taste. I won’t be able to go grind my own but I can enjoy your video. Shoot I want some grits and gravy right now please.🥣

Try a food processor if you don't want to use a mortar. That may make the texture you're looking for.
