One of the oldest dishes here in Austria is Strudel. Not only with fruit fillings like Apple but also with Beans or Cabbage. The good thing about Strudel is that anytime they were made, they also cooked a vegetable soup with carrots, celery, trunip, peas and pretty much any common vegetable and then they cut the leftover strudel dough into small patches and dropped them into the soup, resulting in a slightly slimy but delicious alternative to noodles.

My grandmother always told me, you must be full of aggression to make a good Strudel dough, while slapping the dough vividly and ruthless on to the kitchen table ( take this… :-) ) and you have to pull it very thin, nearly translucent so one can read a newspaper underneath. My favourite is Strudel with mushroom filling.

The layout of the table was prescribed, especially for more formal meals. The most expensive/impressive-looking main dishes went in the center of the the table or directly in front of the host or hostess, and the more ordinary dishes, as well as the vegetables, went along the sides of the table, and on the corners. Each item was divided between 2 or 4 dishes or platters, and they were arranged symmetrically on the table. That was considered more attractive, and there was a dish of each item within reach of everyone on the table, to minimize passing the full dishes or platters around.

As always, wonderful content! I would like to pose a query on 18th century cooking, albeit not necessarily related to this video. I have for the past year-and-a-half started to compile my own late 17th early 18th century larder. Yet I find some aspects of it rather challenging, especially in regard to how certain ingredients should be stored. One such item is rose and orange blossom water. I would assume they might have been stored in small vessels of either glass or glazed ceramic, yet I have found no such bottles in museum collections or in the written accounts. If you would care to shed some light on this culinary conundrum I would be ever grateful. Cheers!

I have made many a pie crust in my life, and while I agree it is not difficult, I would not go so far as to rate it a fun activity. Also, I've never concerned myself with my body heat warming up the butter too much. Fingers and hands don't give off that much heat (the forearms do, perhaps surprisingly, but not the hands - thunderf00t did a video a few years back about how the forearms radiate away a lot of heat). And if I may say so myself, my pie crusts always come out perfect, despite not worrying any about the temperature of the butter when preparing the crust. Just make sure the water you use is cold (used iced water, even) and it should all work out just fine.
@beth12svist2 жыл бұрын
The trick is not to overwork it i.e. not to knead it which, if you don't specify, people tend to do. If you knead, I imagine it's not just body heat but... tension?... warming it up. And the trick is to work fast so that the butter does not have time to warm up to room temperature at which it already is soft. Which is something non-hand implements can also help with.

I see others have noted the similarity to the roly poly. I ran across this recipe a few months ago in “Jet Age Cookbook”, an old (about 1970, not Townsends old) Australian cookbook from the Royal Australian Air Force Women’s Association, as “Jam Roly Poly”. 1 cup Lion S.R. Flour, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon baking powder, salt. Mix into paste with little milk. Roll out and spread with jam or syrup. Roll up not too tight and put into pie dish and pour over sauce. SAUCE: 1 small cup boiling water, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tblspn butter pour hot over roll and bake ½ hour in mod. oven. Bake 1 hour for apple roll.

Fun Fact: the roll of material used in the Panasonic batteries in the Tesla cars is called a jellyroll and before the material is turned into the small rolls, it is part of a pancake, and some of the conveyors the cells travel along are called sushi conveyors.

Your reference to the taste of the bottom crust of a pie was the best explanation of how this pasty tasted is the best I've ever heard.

I recently discovered your channel. I have been binge watching. So great! I plan on getting the cloth, so that I may try this, & the other recipes that require it. Thanks for what you do!!

It’s pretty much like Jam Roly-Poly! A suet based pudding, full of yummy jam, that is steamed

Sometimes you just have to say, "forget the time period," and go ahead and add Nutella.

@@Bobby_Fischer Last time I visited father, he had some Bio variant in his pantry. I have no idea how he came by it, but I definitely indulged. :D Even then, yeah, phew, sickly sweet, best done in moderation, I put it on my morning toast in a thinner layer and that was enough.

It's known just as a jam roll here in Australia. I'm excited to give it a go! Never made a boiled pudd' before though

We call this in the UK Jam Rollie Pollie and we sometimes still make it because it's a cheap and easy pudding and it can also be baked in an oven.

Oh this has got me in the mood for a jam roly-poly. Maybe will make one this weekend. The term Jelly roll always reminds me of the Jazz artist Jelly Roll Morton.

Reminds me of a primitive "dreamcake" (drömtårta) that is sold over here
