Cooking Marathon! - 18th Century Cooking Season 8

[@jennil7797]

My great aunt, born 1858, had no oven in her home. She made her bread, cakes in front of the fire in her one room cottage and cooked over or in the fire in winter and in her old style,, garden fire pit out in her garden in the warm weather. She died in 1960, at almost 102. I was almost nine and was devastated. I loved watching her cook and keep house. She was single but always sociable and busy, cooking three times a day for herself and a bone who called on her. She was found dead in her chair by a neighbour who smelled her flowering bread burning and went to see if she was OK. Cooking to the last, dear old Aunt Melia! Incidentally we have a bread oven in our ancient cottage, similar to the one used in making the rye and Indian bread. It has a cast iron door and has collapsed inside, but is still an interesting part of the development of this 500+ year old home.

[@Blurb777]

What love you have for your Aunt Melia - it shines through your kind words about her. Thank you so much for sharing such a rich part of your life with us. 💞💞💞

[@Annelie58]

Wouldn't it be wonderful to watch her now. I would have loved to have talked to her about her experiences. Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@sjdenning1]

I think ur great aunt was lucky to pass at hm, not sick and miserable in an institution 😊

[@buckonono7996]

Thank you for sharing your Aunt Melia with us. She sounds like someone everyone would love. Any chance of having your oven repaired? It may be very useful one of these days.

[@manueljaimie8341]

If you don't mind me asking, what does "...a bone who called on her" mean? I'm not a native English speaker😅. Very heartwarming story btw❤

[@stevelauda5435]

Townsend has the best cooking show on the net!!!!

[@jack1701e]

Such a binge watchable channel this, the Bob Ross of cookery and history!

[@waynehendrix4806]

Except Bob never mentioned eating squirrels. Or how he used to kill commies.

[@kaderaider3089]

Wonderful call. Dude exudes Bob Ross vibes.

[@aprilm265]

Mrs. Barker is wonderful!!! I could listen to her talk all day. Her down-home warmth, reminiscent of my grandma, brought yesteryear to life. Thank you for featuring her. Wish we could see her more.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I just left a comment that listening to her brought me right back to my Kansas childhood.

[@bradnewsbear]

Lifelong Boy Scout here, and my fellow camping enthusiasts will tell you the dutch oven may just be the #1 camping essential. My personal favorite meal is breakfast, we would always make "shipwreck" where you cook frozen hash browns, a breakfast meat, and some nice fresh crunchy onions and peppers in the dutchie and add a bunch of scrambled egg towards the end. Don't forget the cheese! :)

[@sailorknightwing]

I have my Dutch oven and other cast iron pans from my Scouting days here in my kitchen, they're still great in my oven!

[@AC-hj9tv]

Pass the dutchie!

[@ysf-psfx]

They are so heavy, though. Seems insane to lug around something made of cast iron for cooking when in 2024 there are better modern options. They are great for bread and soups at home, but carrying around one of those is a lot of wasted energy.

[@greysquirrel3924]

Absolutely love the channel. I live in the Historic Village of Yorktown, where the decisive battle between Cornwallis and Washington took place, and it’s awesome to see history come to life in other parts of the country too. Norfolk, VA is about 35-40 minutes from where I live. It’s pronounced similar to “Naw-fuk”… not “Nor-folk”. I love the authenticity of your channel and appreciate all of the hard work the crew puts into making these videos. We salute you!! Huzzah!

[@Trunker21]

The Townsends channel is one of my top 5 favorite KZbin channels hands down. Thank you for such amazing content!

[@ChrisOseProduction]

Man, I'm currently sick in bed and I couldn't love this channel more, thank you so much!

[@townsends]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@michaelpreston233]

Drink plenty of mint tea with ginger,

[@ChrisOseProduction]

@@michaelpreston233 Thanks, man! :D

[@VirtuousWoman89]

Why is this such a cozy, informative, and make you feel better video? ❤🥰🙌 Thank you!🙏

[@WillyLeclaire]

anything with meat, potatoes, oignons and carrots taste fantastic

[@kathkwilts]

I quilt and these long form marathons are perfect for long sewing sessions!

[@cassandralibertywest4310]

I've been watching your videos for years and they just keep getting better and better! Thanks for informing people in a way that brings humanity into the facts.

[@mikehowell2279]

I had to stop watching halfway through the stream because I was stuck at work and it was making me too hungry! Watching the rest now. Love this season, love Townsends, and love Jim's Red Pants!

[@Twilit777]

I rarely come by, only when I remember, because the KZbin algorithm is terrible. But every time I do, I'm so pleased with what I find. Great work.

[@hollyf.7846]

You know the food is gonna be on point when John throws down the nutmeg! Boom! 😂❤

[@deenibeeniable]

At the Gilroy Garlic Festival, held every year in Gilroy, CA, which is where most of the garlic in the US is grown, you can get Garlic ANYTHING, including garlic ice cream. I've had it, & it's amazing.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

I love garlic, and that would be something to try!

[@joehudson4651]

I love what you do!!! Thank you so much, the videos are informative and very entertaining! I have to say however, the dad jokester in me about died laughing at 51:16 when Mrs. Barker said her husband calls it "Pork-n-cider". Sorry I couldn't help it! 😆😅🤣😂🤣😅😆

[@williamwigfield7296]

OMG Ivy looks just like you in these vids! My mom would just die from those dimples😉 Just turned 55 this year and now am lamenting my youth/wasted years. So nice to still have your family with you on the live streams along with Ryan & Co. Thanks so much for the historical edutainment all these years as time rushes on!

[@MrMali22]

Hey they ain't got to stay wasted. (I'm not sure what's wasted to you but if it's not learning the skills or how to do this stuff it's never too late. One guy was 50 when he started)

[@gingerfoxx1476]

I love the idea of cheese made beside a cracklin campfire. Sounds like a cheese-lover's idea for an awesome date night.

[@bailbondsga]

i absolutely love your marathons. i hope many more will follow !! god bless!

[@ShadeRaven222]

i like how he appreciates the little things in life so much.

[@RuSosan]

Those are the best things, truly. Especially food. 😂

[@Blurb777]

He is so life-affirming. That`s why I love to watch his channel. Ryan, too. The best of men!

[@jackcui4048]

I like his smile

[@norcalbrett7883]

​@@jackcui4048No you don't. 😮

[@JordanTheNob]

[@kleek9581]

So happy for this marathon on a rainy day!

[@kleineroteHex]

That pork and cider is a must make!! And the "Date lady" oh how adorable!!!!!!!!!! Ivy stepping into das's footsteps, just cuter.

[@ldballoon4]

thank you for appreciating,documenting and sharing historical cooking.

[@NavyDood21]

Was so awesome seeing the fried chicken episode again! I still remember it being linked on Reddit and that being mine, and many people's, first introduction. I had always been interested in history, and loved cooking, and never thought of historical cooking. So glad that I was introduced to the channel, because its spawned so much fun with cooking some of these and other historical recipes.

[@andieluke1366]

You would LOVEEEE the "Tasting History with Max Miller" channel! He's an amazing storyteller and the history he presents are nuanced and complex. I highly recommend his Thanksgiving episode. "Early American" is also a great historical cooking channel, though it focuses more on the cooking, ASMR style. For pure British history, J. Draper's channel is gold.

[@maleg4042]

Hi there ! thanks for another great marathon ! Little comment about the pork à la normande , as a french coming from la Bretagne right next to Normandie I can tell you we do love to cook pork with cider and apples to this day and this recipe is just like our rustic family style stews ! add some creme to it at the end for extra ;)

[@VirtuousWoman89]

Why is this such a cozy, informative, and make you feel better video? ❤🥰🙌 Thank you!🙏

[@BuildYourHome]

I have this channel on auto play and I don’t think I’ve ever felt more like a sicko than I do right now. Soooooo many “That’s what she said” jokes in my head and this particular episode takes the cake. 😂😖

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I REALLY like these cooking marathon videos! Thanks for doing this.

[@traciebecker6669]

I so appreciate these marvelous videos.

[@Thomas-nk4uj]

Informative, entertaining, and not going to lie a lot of the recipes look DELICIOUS!

[@gingerfoxx1476]

That whole Dutch oven cooking lesson was so interesting, and that bread looks delicious.

[@NikoaidanielovichNazarenko]

Great program on back to the past, Thanks much

[@sonyalytle8972]

That pork and apple dish sounds fantastic! The receit is filed in the brain! Lol

[@robinsnest68]

Ya know, I camped my whole life and am STILL learning things! Love it!❤❤❤

[@rorohawk9950]

I remember the first time I had heard about parmesan ice cream was from The Supersizers Go. Look at you, Townsends, stepping the game up!

[@DanaNordberg-f1f]

Wonderful and Ivy is so special , like you, so enthusiastic and warm !!!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Listening to Mrs. Barker gave me quite a bit of nostalgia for my childhood, back in Kansas..

[@davidbowman8912]

This video is better than black hawk down

[@VonFowler-fw3yh]

Was wondering, at home I cook, rinse, wipe with fat(oil) but back in oven to dry etc etc, but in the frontier 200 years ago what were they doing to clean and preserve the iron in-between all day travels and meals?

[@rachelharris725]

I made the onion and potato pie but just couldn't stomach the idea of the boiled egg in it. So, since i live in an era of refrigeration and just slightly better means than calling a a ditch home in this economy, i used a few rashers of thick cut peppered bacon. That, was very good! 👍

[@ysf-psfx]

Not a weird substitution, but definitely an odd aversion.

[@pincushionllama]

@46:00 Is she a ventriloquist? Her mouth never moves. It entranced me to no ends.

[@Winsome-n4i]

I love Mrs. Barker! Her manner of speech is so soothing😃

[@jaypee6333589]

Always a banger!

[@jamaicaninthekitchen4358]

We bake that way in Jamaicanin the 1990s .puddings abd bread came out great.❤

[@jmikew417]

I was stationed at K.I. Sawyer AFB in the U.P. in the early 70's and would buy these.

[@real4real698]

Amazing videos, tried a few of the recipes amazing ...we can learn alot from history

[@bailbondsga]

i was just yesterday wondering if there is some kind of onion pie since i am a huge fan of onions, garlic and the like. so started watching this marathon and what do i find !!!

[@c1neal]

19:40 you can use non alcoholic beer. Close enough

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

Sure wish the Brazier was in stock! Just went through a long ordeal of no grid power and limited cooking ability. Would have loved this Brazier during those difficult days!

[@chargerboi4982]

I wouldn’t want to live in the 18th century but I wouldn’t shy away from this food

[@kellymarberry6467]

It’s just me: binge-watching Jon cook😊🍽️

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

you can curdle milk immediately with lemon jiuce You don't need rennet. You get a type of paneer

[@mostvaluablepropertiesinc8206]

My man just baked a whole dutch oven full of seared brick and potatoes 😂💀⚰️

[@Greenmanure62]

That looks so good!

[@PEACE_FOR_ALL_ALWAYS]

#THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WATCHED 2+ HOURS ON COOKERY SHOW ...❤❤❤ YOUR LOVE TO 18TH CENTURY RECIPES IS TRULY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL #THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS ⚘ ♥ ❤ 💖

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

[@HarshmanHills]

rainy day calls for a marathon

[@katielin2379]

I love these marathon cooking videos. Season 8 has been especially delicious.

[@SheyD78]

Deep frying over an open fire. Gotta have balls of solid rock for that! (Sorry for the crudeness, but it had to be said!)

[@richki.24]

this channel is awesome ...

[@aemiliadelroba4022]

That malt vinegar make it taste so good 😊. I’ll try it . I don’t have deep frying Dutch oven .

[@vgil1278]

Actually drooling!

[@jeffrobodine239]

You had me at " fried chicken " !

[@Apostate_ofmind]

do not watch while hungry. Its torture because everything looks delicious

[@NikoaidanielovichNazarenko]

There are people still have that down to earth life, Its amazing sweet, I must admit i do envy them......

[@graceerhart5796]

very cool video- need to try the recipe!

[@BHarry-mx9py]

Fried parsley is so amazing!

[@rorydonaldson2794]

1:10:03 chicken salad

[@mizmerrill]

Happy Crocktober! One of my favorite recipes is chicken apple stew.

[@Ineffablemystic]

Onion pie is called Zwiebacken also from germany I make it all the time. But without eggs. And also without apple and potatoes.

[@engineerwv]

Fried parsley is amazing!❤

[@sovbo101]

I liked this one more than all your rest.

[@james0000]

May you have all that you want and want all that you have!

[@emmafrenz4300]

A life that was true was difficult and poor, but it is not like the life we ​​live in now. Diabetes and joint diseases were people who were physically stronger, and now with that there is everything available and the ease of life, but I feel lazy and diseases that abound in me at this time. I wish I was living that life as a successful program🙏✝️❤

[@VonFowler-fw3yh]

Unless my eyes are getting worse it appears to me that you say to rotate the dutch oven 90° and then the lid 90° but what I think I saw was you rotated the bottom 180° and the lid 90°. I get it that the main idea is to rotate everything to balance out the heat. So which is it, the bottom is 90° or half way 180°? Great show!

[@PeeingBleach]

just rotate it weirdo. you don't need a ruler 😅😅

[@Randaddy25]

I'd just rewatch it and copy what ever he does.

[@raymondbickham7861]

You need to tell us where to get cook books that you get thoes recipes from!!!❤❤😢😢

[@wntu4]

If you are remotely close and a fan of this channel then Connor Prairie is well worth the trip.

[@Gunships.]

I Fell asleep last night listening to Travis Scott Utopia Album and happened to wake up on this channel, wow so interesting, i am a chef and this blows my mind how cool cooking methods were in the 18th century

[@Ineffablemystic]

I never saw a link to your magazine you mentioned

[@townsends]

What is the time stamp for when it is mentioned?

[@Ineffablemystic]

@@townsends i have heard you mention it quite a few times as well as the store, however I dont order online, if you did have a magazine i would subscribe. and possibly order.

[@townsends]

If you would like a catalog you can certainly request one, either online www.townsends.us/pages/catalog-request or you can call us www.townsends.us/pages/contact-us and we can put you on a list to receive a catalog. You can also look at our online store and order by phone if you prefer.

[@BCALLEN1]

So when cooking with a dutch oven does it get any of the smoke flavor into the food?

[@rebelrose3282]

I'm answering you, because nobody has. No there is no smoke flavoring. But, nothing beats cooking in cast iron.

[@odinsson204]

I’m here to say I love history and food

[@americanborn3151]

We would be using Ramps, or wild onions in the south east part of the country

[@b.savage8953]

Splash a bit of your chicken dip in the oil , if it sizzels your oil is at the right temp 👍 4 generations strong , I can put 11 herbs and spices to shame 😅 happy frying 😊

[@CatherineKeehn-l6k]

I would have opted to fry chicken in a spider fry pan with less oil rather than the deep fry method over open flame you used. Nice recipe.

[@andrewbates3505]

I've always wanted to let you know about a book I had growing up called George Washington's Breakfast by Jean Fritz. It tells the story of a young boy pretty obsessed with our first president and eager to emulate him in every way possible. He (and his mother) try to answer the question of what George Washington ate for breakfast. The best part is that they start with contemporary sources about breakfast in general that later contrasts with the real answer. My parents and I made the breakfast from the book and it was a lovely Tasting History sort of moment. I'd be interested in early American food history.

[@donswietlik4292]

Can also learn from cowboy Kent Rollins on Dutch oven cooking.

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Cibule i only heard of being used in one place, Czech Republic. There it is just the word for onion. Similar to Spanish cebolla. They likely took it from Latin cepulla. Old high German used Zwibolla. I'm thinking they meant "bulb onion" (aka onion)

[@MidnaOfficial]

nice slightly nervous man in a pirate hat cooks the most delicious food you've ever seen in your entire life for two straight hours

[@wandac396]

Pirate hat?? What pirate hat??

[@GertrudeTheHealingGuru]

Which man is slightly nervous?

You said lemon zest or lemon peel was the second most common use spice or flavor, what was the first?

[@sorrenblitz805]

Salt. It's always been salt.
