[@TheGAutomotiveAndMore]

You can tell Ryan is such a nice guy and I really like when he does video's. All the video's presenters are like your best friends.

[@SimpleDesertRose]

I just love Ryan's laugh. First then leaf then the chicken. 🤣 Not only does he bring some unique recipes to the channel but he has a great sense of humor. One thing I would like to add about leaving the bones in is you are getting that extra nutrition. There are a lot of nutrients in the bones that come out in the juices. There is a reason bone broth is making a comeback. 😉

[@Just_Sara]

I imagine also that one person pulling the bones out of their cooked chicken serving would be much easier than someone cutting the bones out of the whole pie's-worth of raw chicken.

[@jcaesar19871]

When cooking black beans, my family would put in pork bone for the extra flavor. So yeah. lol

[@terryt.1643]

Jon said that Ivy was working on socializing the chickens… Good work Ivy! I loved that part. 🥰 🐓

That would actually work, since pizza was developed in Naples at around that time. They should totally find an early recipe for it.

This was a fantastic video. I want one of those ovens outside my place. Thank you Ryan for alleviating my issues with making pie crust, you sounded like a friend. This was one of my favorite vids on the channel thank you again!

[@moonbear5929]

Other's talking about communal ovens reminded me of something my grandfather told me. Back when he was a kid in the 20s (He was born 1917) the local baker would have his oven going almost all week long making breads and pies. Back in those days none of the shops were open on Sunday so Saturday night when the baker's oven was shut off and allowed to cool down, people all over the neighborhoods would bring their bean pots full of beans and give them to the baker to put in his oven. Early the next day people came to pick up their bean pots and they would have beans with their Sunday dinners. The beans had simmered all night long in the residual heat of the oven. That last amount of heat was not wasted and fed many people. This was in Woonsocket R.I. in the French area of town.

[@reelinfo2089]

Ryan always does an amazing job. That chicken pie looked so good!

[@leoscheibelhut940]

The leaf falling on the pie was just perfection!

[@damitriboone7029]

That falling leaf 🍁 on the chicken pie was indeed a good sign that it’s a great savory pie for the season 😄 And the little hen knew it too!

[@learrus]

I usually hate cooking shows but your channel has always been enjoyable to view the cooking episodes of. A lot of them remind me of food the older people used to make in Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick; before McDonalds sort of thing took over. These older dishes have a lot more flavours to them. You've got me remembering those foods and wanting to try some of your recipes on here.

[@industrialvectors]

I'm on the same page. The worst is that I find it very difficult to articulate why I like this show but not the others. Perhaps because the main topic isn't just food but the historical discovery. Perhaps because the hosts are so delightfully modest and humble.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A very satisfying looking dish for the autumn season. That pie does look good. I like how that oven turned out. This channel is awesome. Cheers!

Ryan, you do a great job explaining everything so effortlessly. Your passion for this stuff really comes through. Great video.

You can never go wrong with chicken and mushrooms. This sounds amazing.

[@brucetidwell7715]

Looks wonderful! I haven't made chicken pot pie in ages. I think I would miss the vegetables in that one, though, along with some sage, thyme, and garlic. Maybe one day I'll build on oven but that's a lot of clay to come up with in a suburban backyard.

[@shadodragonette]

I don't have an earthen oven, nor place to build one. I live in a tiny apartment, and no yard to speak of. I am so glad you include modern ways to cook the recipes! I would like to suggest you watch a few videos of "Learn Your Land", as he had lots of videos about wild foods you might enjoy. I am not allowed to drive due to seizures, so don't have access to wild lands (aka state parks, friends wild lands, etc). I am sure some of the wild foods he talks about are as historic as you could want. The one wild food I have access to is dandelions, and I am looking forward to including them into my diet when they next grow in the lawn of the apartment complex.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Be careful if they treat the lawn.

[@Vikingwerk]

Dandelion blossoms are great! Slightly sweet, and high in vitamin C. I find you need to pull off as much of the green bit below the petals as possible, as that and the stems are rather bitter. I’ve not tried eating the leaves, which I am told are best before the plant flowers, after which they get bitter as well.

[@C.L.Hinton]

If you have dandelions growing, you may also have other nearby edible "weeds," such as purslane, wood sorrel, lamb's quarter, and purple dead nettle. All of those grow in front of my apt, so I hope you have similar options. 😃☘️🌿 Edited to add: But my complex doesn't treat the "lawns" (overly generous term, here) with any chemicals of any kind.

[@talisikid1618]

Hope you can find access to some of those wild edibles.

[@Luckingsworth]

You can absolutely not eat anything grown in a lawn like that. Full of pesticides. Same reason foragers that are educated do not eat anything growing within ~15 feet of the side of the road. You might as well put Roundup in a spray bottle and apply it to your salad as a dressing if you are eating dandelions from an apartment lawn.

This video was a delight. From learning more about cooking in the earthen oven (sadly I cannot re-create one in my apartment) to the fact that cooking the chicken bone-in gets you the loveliness of flavor (like making a bone broth), to the leaf and Ryan's laugh (and the chicken! (well, they are cannabalistic) oh my!). The beauty of fall in the background. This video brought me amazing warmth. Thank you.
