You give the Amish alot of props on this, but Americans have been doing this for many many years. It's not an Amish thing. When I was growing up as a normal black kid in rural NC, we preserved our meat the same way because we did not have enough money to buy large enough freezers to hold all of our meat, after we slaughterd our Pigs and hunted deer. My grandparents and their peers of there day all did this, before and after refrigeration was widespread.

I grew up in NW Missouri farm country before the REA brought electricity to the farm in the mid 1950's. Every farm had a smoke house and a cellar for canned goods and potatoes, onions, etc. We had a ice box to keep our butter and milk in and usually bought a 50lb block every week to put in the ice box. Canning meat is difficult without a pressure cooker because of the long canning time required for 'cold pack' canners. We always canned a lot of green beans, peas and corn along with fruit such as peaches or cherries. Salt curing and smoking meat was the best way to preserve it although I did not care for the extra salty flavor unless the meat was cooked with vegetables. You did not need to be Amish in the 1940s and 1950s to know how to preserve food without electricity.

It depends on which Amish you are talking about. There are lots of Amish people that do have refrigeration and quite a few that don't. I grew up Amish and back then we had a refrigerator that ran on kerosene & a deep freeze at the non-Amish neighbors house but today my parents have a refrigerator that runs on LP gas and a 24 volt freezer that runs off of solar panels. We still canned a lot of meat, especially beef chunks but we also preserved our steaks in crocks by putting a layer of salt between each layer of steaks then sealing it off with liquefied beef tallow. As soon as the tallow cools, it creates an air tight seal and your meat doesn't spoil because no air or bacteria can get to it.

Ancestors of Amish brought that preservation proses from Europe. Before Amish found this method of preservation in Europe.

If you read anywhere in historical sources Slavs Cossacks the first truck drivers called them Dudes in Europe thousands of years ago until the 19th century carried rollers loaded with salt throughout Europe delivered salt from the Crimea. Salt, as today, and thousands of years ago played a key role in the survival of the peoples of Europe.

Roman soldiers did not receive their pay in salt directly, but the term "salarium" is linked to payments that could be used to purchase salt. Salt was a valuable commodity at the time, essential for preserving food and as a seasoning, which is why it was significant in military compensation. The concept of "salary" evolved from this context of compensation related to the procurement of salt.

The Indignious natives/Native American/american Indians, whatever they call themselves now, has done this throughout history with their meats. I remember reading about this in school. I always found the power of salt so interesting as a kid. People also used salt to preserve aninal skins.

All these comments complaining about giving the Amish credit for these things. They didn’t have to invent it. We know they didn’t. The point is that THEY STILL DO IT

[@directcoolingservice7225]

I thought the Amish didn’t use New World items, cars gas how come he’s got a digital thermometer with batteries

[@michellehughes8661]

Some Amish (depends upon the sect) use batteries if they are disposable or can be recharged with solar.

[@tarnishedknight730]

directcoolingservice7225, That clip (of the digital thermometer) was taken from a video about making your own bacon. That's not an Amish hand holding the digital thermometer.

For a week I lived as a guest in a northern large Spanish farm. Every morning we ate from ham that sat at a window sill and had been there for over a month. I saw how they made ham. No smoking, outdoors with only a littmle salt, hanging from the ceiling in a shed for tools. Totally green covered in fungus, the RIGHT kind of fungus. It was genuine Iberic ham, BLACK in color from a particular free range pig breed that were kept from wondering too far by having many trees that gave off nuts and "palmiche" which the pigs loved. Of all peoples of the world, the northern Spanish are THE experts on meat preservation. That's why Christopher Columbus is buried in 2 different places. At his request, his heart was turned to ham for burial overseas near the U of Salamanca which proved he was wrong. There's NO evidence of Romans using salt as payment despite the curious unexplainaied latin word "salary". The Spanish "ham" every kindbof meat and even vmfidh. I have had ham duck for example, basically only in Spain. Northern Spain put the Amish to shame on meat. The ham is soft, not overly salty and if from iberic pigs; black in color and quite distinct.

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Spain is famous for it's dried hams.. Probably the dry and warm climate helps. I think the Spanish traditions is somewhat unique in Europe due to the climate factor. But well, there is Italy as well, and I'm sure Greece also have some traditions like this.

[@JRRodriguez-nu7po]

@@johnwayne-kd1pn In ham, of basically any flesh, Spain is the GOAT. They also have the Iberic pig, a small subspecies whose meat turns black. I mean BLACK from how much myoglobin the leg muscles have. hey come from a long distance running pig. Also if you're into sweeter milder wines, Spanish wines which DO NOT TRAVEL WELL are way better than anything in Europe. Only some Chilean wines can compete for those of us looking for more fruity and less alcoholic drink. Some table wines are nigh indistinguishable from sangria and all the little kids drink them. I personally was allowed even hard liquor from being a toddler and did so with my 4 kids. In fact, almost all pediatric meds were up to ~20% alcohol (40 proof) until a few decades ago. Nothing funnier than giving a 3 year old some vodka for the first time! Go ahead, bring on the concern...I'm a professor of medicine and biochemistry. For legal reasons I am of course not suggesting anything, right? The most historically Spanish (visigoth actually) are way up north. Madrid is a whatever big city, don't bother. Either the way south where Moorish influence is everywhere or way north or Portugal (way west) is where you want to go. I don't recommend way East because you might not make it out of Basque territory....half kidding there. Besides way East and you might by mistake end up in France....ughh. Well, this Cuban born American citizen has had his say.

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

@@JRRodriguez-nu7po and Spanish olive oils too! Even cheap ones are good. They just make them and sell them, and that's it. Sadly Italian olive oils can't be trusted, and they are generally more expensive than Spanish ones too, and often worse quality. There were alot of food corruption scandals in Italy, and they also try to sell substandard olive oil at high prices. Spain don't need to do that, they produce plenty of olives and just keep it simple. Good quality, good prices..

They must not have canine's lol. I once took a nice deer and placed it in a cooler of ice ,went the next morning to check it ,, looked ok until i opened the cooler. It was totally gone , not even any blood , like there was never a deer in it. My neighbor has a mastiff running loose and had his way with my prize. I invented new curse words that morning lol.

This is done in U.K too, i love doing my own bacon people love it, and its all done the same way as video,as well as meat stored in Kilner jars,we have our own livestock and vegetables we have for all our lives.The only thing i am not too keen on is salted runner beans,or fish.I hope people realise that they must not use table salt as it has chemicals in it and does not cure things.We even keep eggs for months until hens start laying.I wish we had a good root cellar though.

Wonderful video, young man. Your ancient ancestors knew of this and maybe you're following this path of knowledge now because you're biospirit and the memories flowing through your veins are leading you on this path of old knowledge and sharing it.

While Amish do use these methods, they are only carrying on European traditions. Duck (and pork) confit, for instance were preservation methods in France. Scandinavian smoked fish for centuries. Water glass eggs, lacto fermentations. Etc.

[@silaslongshot941]

My grandparents preserved their hams in the Amish way, no refrigeration required after running thru the smokehouse and salt treatments. We let them hang in our kitchen closet wrapped in a cloth sack to keep bugs from walking on the meat. It had a taste that nothing touches out of your Kroger store.

Pemmican is a Native American food, it was not invented by the Amish. Native American warriors took it into battle because it was light weight and packed with nutrients and energy. They taught the Amish how to make it not the other way around. Seriously ticks me off when Europeans claim Native American foods, crafts, and traditions as theirs.

[@Jon-u1v]

Okay people of European descent have no history of salting meat and fish. If it wasn’t for salted cod and pork, your people would’ve never been conquered because we would’ve never been able to cross the sea.

[@TripDogg5]

He just said the Amish craft it, not that they invented it. He mentioned it dated back to Native American traditions so I don't see the problem at all.

[@joeweaver-r5l]

Keeping it alive tho.. and still practicing it,so they do get some credit. Most our food today is either poison or fake.

[@markntexas8265]

So who taught the Romans? Curing meats has been around 1000’s of years.

[@fairygirl202]

Curing meats has been around in various formats forever; the making of pemmican was first encountered and recorded with the first interactions with the Native Americans. Romans, Greeks and even the Egyptians had something similar that their warriors ate while away at war. I’m not arguing that, I merely said that the actual recipe for pemmican was Native American that was taught to the Amish as another way to preserve meat not the other way around. I studied this in college because I’m part Native American. It’s offensive when Europeans claim things as theirs that they taught to Native Americans, when the opposite is true. That is all I was trying to say.
