Nothing weird about it Cochineal/carmine is, to this day, a very common way to get red colour. It's commonly used in makeup products for red pigments and is often the main ingredient of red food dyes, especially organic ones. Only difference between this recipe and any contemporary one with red food dye is that someone has already processed the bugs for you.

[@asfodelos3225]

The prospect of eating bugs or using them as coloring doesn't sound so bad to me.

IIRC the blue part of the cheese isn't actually mold, but a chemical reaction between the cheese and copper pipes or something... okay nope, I was wrong and the blue IS from a strain of penicillin mould. The same sort of mould that covers camembert and brie cheese, and is also edible. I'll happily eat the cheese with the edible mould in it, but there's no way in hell I'm touching the cheese with the maggots in it (casu marzu).

[@ceekay3143]

@@lilithcrow6675 I would not like either of those tbh. I was just trying to find out if the kopi luwak coffee is safe to drink (since the casu marzu cheese can be very unsafe), but apparently it's fine once the beans are processed? The cheese is basically fly poo, like the coffee beans are the poop of the palm civet (or other animals they get to eat the coffee fruit). Apparently horribly unethical and illegal in most places too. There's just no need for using palm civets or maggots in food production, we've got plenty of other ways to make things safely and legally. I guess some people like the thrill of the danger and price though.

The plunger style churn is known as a “dash” churn 😊 which would usually take 3 (Imperial) gallons. The one you have is a small paddle churn - that one is probably oak, but by the 1950s a glass jar with a paddle set into the lid was most common for household and small commercial use as it could be easily sterilised abd you could see when it was ready.

I think the eggs back then were smaller sized, they didn't have as many generations of breeding to reproduce huge egg popping chooks

[@virtualarmageddon6232]

Even back then there were a big variety of sizes of eggs with there being a variety of chicken breeds (why recipes both then and now might say "small" or "large" eggs) as far as I'm aware its less the size that has changed than the frequency of laying (we produce way more eggs way more frequently) Thats just I've been told tho, could be wrong but I really don't think the size has changed much, rather the frequency and quantity has.

[@helenanilsson5666]

AFAIK, the size of chicken eggs tends to change by the age of the chicken as well. Baby hen's first egg will be small with relatively thick hard shell. Then as the hen grows older the eggs will be larger with thinner shells. A local egg farm that sells some of their eggs directly from an old barn sometimes offers the smallest eggs for free or a very reduced price, since they're too small even for the standard small size bought in stores. But the breed of the chicken is probably even more important in determining the egg size.

[@achick648]

yes.

[@samara707]

@@helenanilsson5666 Another big factor is the hens diet. As someone who owns chickens, some things you feed them, can make the shells thicker, the yolks a different color, and more. The age also does matter like what you said, and of course the younger hens I own do lay smaller eggs. (In the present ofc, and not a long time ago) The breed is a giant factor to the eggs. The chickens that lay eggs for stores, are all bred to lay eggs really fast, and have a extremely short life span, because they don't want hens who have stopped laying. As for other breeds, they will lay less, but live longer and have bigger/smaller eggs.

Watching you churn that cream into butter reminds me of when I was in 4th grade. My poor teacher had us all shaking jars of buttermilk trying to make butter. We all found out that day that buttermilk doesn't make butter. But we did have a lot of fun and wasted almost the entire day. Miss Vetter was my favorite teacher for many years. 😂😂😂😍

[@Rowgue51]

Okay anybody dedicated enough to the authenticity of recipes to find, repair and use an antique butter churn to make the butter the recipe calls for deserves a sub. There are a lot of people making ancient recipes on their channels, but only one other that I've seen that goes to such painstaking lengths to faithfully recreate them as close to the way it would have actually been done as is humanly possible.

The old recipes by Ann must be one of my favourite kind of KZbin videos out there. I really enjoy watching the episodes and appreciate the hard work that is put into one so much!

[@jennhoff03]

I agree! I was just commenting that one thing that always strikes me with the combination of 1- how much time these take, and 2- not having standardized measurements, is that you could easily spend all day (or multiple days) cooking a recipe, only to have it taste disgusting! Because when they said "some" sugar, you guessed a teaspoon(ish) and the author guessed a cup(ish). That would be so discouraging!!!

[@sekirk]

I love these old recipes and I can’t believe you got a 150 year old butter churner AND restored it to full use! So cool!

I've known about cochineal bugs and colorant since I was a wee kid! Looking into what exactly goes into our colorants is always a fun and informative process.

[@gp2779]

I mean tbh eating bugs isn’t that big of a deal after overcoming the stigma. It’s protein rich, sustainable, and environmental friendly source of protein :)

[@TheTheninjagummybear]

@Elisa Castro, No, not at all. Unless we're talking bugs that are poisonous or were actually picked off of some poo or trash, they aren't anywhere near as "disease ridden" as the animals we usually eat. As I've said here a few times, the taboo against bug-eating is cultural and has little to do with how healthy they are for you. People like you buying into the idea that nobody should ever willingly eat a bug contribute to that taboo staying alive. Especially in the case of bugs raised on a farm as a food source, it's perfectly safe to eat them. You're not gonna get sick unless you're allergic.

[@vincentknws]

@Elisa Castro skittles use ground up bugs to put a sheen on the candy.

[@LostTimeLady]

I've eaten farmed crickets that were dried (farmed so no disease risk!) and they were super crunchy, fairly neutral in flavour but surprisingly moreish! Bugs are something we associate with bad things like rot and disease but I think we can get over that if we're assured they're safe like any other food (I mean, what is a mushroom but cultivated fungus!). Some bugs are used in medicine and can save limbs so that's pretty cool too!

[@karmabeast]

@Elisa Castro It's just a tiny animal. Seriously - you have exactly the same safety concerns with preparing insects to be used as food as with preparing larger animals to be used as food.

[@RoseDragoness]

Yeah, pigs contain a tons more 'diseases ridden' than bugs.

[@phoenixsoren]

The tart seems more like an apple quiche than a tart. Even without the video to praise it, that sounds delicious.

[@FelisTerras]

At first, when you hear bugs, you're like "Yuch." Then you imagine what the industry might replace them with and suddenly, the bugs seem to be less repulsive option...

Entomophagy is an important component of the Mexican culinary tradition. The cochineal was used in pigments and is still cultivated in many arid regions. Some species of insects and arachnids are highly appreciated in the traditional cuisine of many regions. It's a very important aspect of my culture and - to be frank - it's quite an adventure. Many flavors and textures. It is also a sustainable food alternative. For those who have not tried it yet, I recommend trying some of the different species of edible insects at least once. I promise you there is something interesting and delicious to taste. ;) Greetings and good vibes from Mexico.
