Maybe cut Mr. Lincoln a little bit of slack since back then butter was always salted due to the lack of refrigeration?

[@richmondvand147]

it was also WAY saltier

[@kaitlynvigue9656]

Came here to say this!

[@Kmkboyz15]

Crazy he didn't think of this... but i get it.

[@pablovegas743]

I might be wrong, but didn't they wash salted butter right before it was used? At least that's what I heard.

[@vi-yn1ss]

@@pablovegas743 yes, because the butter was brined for storage and the salt levels would have made it pretty much inedible. However, even after washing off the brine, there was still salt in it comparable to today's salted butter or at least enough that adding a pinch of salt to a cake batter wasn't necessary.

[@Mrx2848]

According to Max Miller from Tasting History, a lot of recipes from antiquity don't include salt in their ingredients list even when it was supposed to be used, so maybe Lincoln's cake did have salt and the person who recorded it assumed it was a given.

[@valcan321]

Butter had a LOT of salt in it back in the day.

[@richiepayne7226]

But at the same time there's a term baking is a science for a reason. Yeah sure if you want to make chloroform anybody who's trying probably already knows the ingredients so they are given but that doesn't mean they don't need to be listed because if you do not list ingredients when making a recipe especially when baking and it requires a very specific amount of everything then it ends up fucked up

[@PixlRainbow]

@@richiepayne7226The point was that even science used to be less disciplined. Alchemists used to write recipes under the assumption that your stirring rod was iron. They just didn't specify because they didn't know it mattered, or they thought that it just wasn't possible for anyone to use anything else. Degrees in scientific fields are called PhDs (Doctor of Philosophy) because they are a holdover from a time where "science" only existed within the fold of philosophy.

[@donutmonk]

​@@richiepayne7226 you'd unfortunately hate old cookbooks, lol. There were assumptions that those reading the recipes had a good understanding of cooking prior (usually specific variations per household) and so many elements of the cooking process were left unspecified. Specific items like salt went unlisted. Cook times weren't specified, measurements were more suggestive than they were specific (a handful, a shake, a good spoonful or hearty spoonful, etc). They were more of a "let's share this idea" kind of thing rather than "the purpose of this recipe is to allow accessibility of this dish to everyone" kind of thing. It also should be noted that, during that time, butter was HEAVILY salted to help with preservation so the recipe was even influenced from the quality of goods that was accessible. A fridge wen a long way in reducing the salt necessary in a diet lol.

[@Somerandom1922]

Butter also needed copious amounts of salt to be preserved more than a couple of days. Prior to refrigeration there was "Butter" and "Fresh butter". Fresh butter tasted much more like modern unsalted butter, but required you to live near cows and be real good at churning (or really rich). Normal "butter" was so salty as to be unpalatable. Like, if you wanted to make something from it that didn't require a fair bit of salt, you'd need to wash the salt out of it.

[@Archeridon]

Gotta defend my boi Abe Lincoln's favorite cake here, butter back in the day was a lot more salted, so the original recipe probably had the salt to satisfy that top tier rating.

Was about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. I think it's just a chef thing, probably not used to using salted butter. I myself use salted butter all the time so I usually let that account for the salt, so it was something that came to mind for me.

Elvis sandwich - toast the bread first so that 1. Peanut butter is easier to spread evenly on toasted bread 2. More butter is absorbed by the dry bread 3. The sandwich is stiff enough to eat, peanut butter and mashed banana is wet and gooey, the bread needs "backbone" 13:50

[@shawnruss7196]

[@woodenotaku]

About that Lincoln cake, you used unsalted butter when such a thing would not have been commonly available at the time as it wasn't a popular choice before widespread refrigeration. In fact butter of the era would've been very heavily salted and having a look at other recipes (I couldn't find the exact same issue this one appeared in) from Godey's Lady's Books in which this recipe originally appeared in back in the mid-1800's there are no recipes that mention unsalted butter at all. They all refer to simply "butter" which in modern America means unsalted butter and thus it has been copied over as such through a game of broken telephone all over the internet and various cook books, even if it is a case of some mofo simply making it up somewhere along the line that it was supposedly unsalted even though it obviously wasn't.

[@pablovegas743]

That would be correct, but as long as I've heard they washed butter before use to remove salt.

I was a latchkey kid in the 90s and needed to make noms in a pinch before Rocco’s Modern Life started after school. So I made “pizza on toast”. It’s 4 slices of toast on a plate, topped with Hunt’s tomato sauce, a slice of Kraft American cheese and popped in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. It was… adequately deliciously okay. My mouth became a shovel. I’d sometimes go for seconds and on the rare occasion, I’d sprinkle a touch of dried oregano over there sauce. Aaaah, the 90’s.🥰 another favorite was two Tombstone pizzas baked on top of each other at a lower heat for longer. Blasphemous. And totally worth it.

[@johnhogue9402]

I used to make pizza toast too, but I would use shredded mozzarella.

[@kahleeb624]

Chef here. For my own cooking I always toast the bread a little before toasting with butter in a pan. The reason is this way you get the buttery brunch from the outside, but then you also have the crunch from the inside as well. As long as your bread is thick enough you can keep the center still untrusted and a nice fluffy center surrounded by crunch and butter. I just prefer both sides toasted. Sometimes I'll just toast the bread in the pan, pulling it out and flip it, add the ingredients and the out it back in with new butter. Though some may find that a tad too rich but god damn I love butter... Oh and truffle oil is disgusting... never understood why people like that flavor.. its not to bad on Mac and cheese just depending on the cheese used.

add cinnamon to the banana 14:40 and you toast it to open up the bread pores, then the peanut butter gets to seep through, when you grill the sandwich cold? the temperature concentration is on the outside first and makes its way in, but heating the bread before hand allows for the butter to seep in further faster and if you LOOK at it, looks so much better with it toasted before hand to let in the butters seep through

Lincoln's wife essentially made German Gugelhupf. Separating the eggs and beating the egg whites before folding them in is also a very German thing to do in my opinion. My mother does this a lot. It's supposed to make the cake more fluffy but I think you'll achieve the same thing by just beating the eggs with the sugar until fluffy and foamy

[@TherealDanielleNelson]

No it's not. Other countries are seen doing that with their cake recipes to get volume in their cakes.

The Abe Lincoln cake, Butter back in the day (pre-refrigeration or common Ice box use) used to include ridiculous amounts of salt as a preservative. Unless it was freshly made sweet cream butter the cake would have gotten a healthy addition of salt from the butter verse modern butter.

[@TheRokkis]

In Finland we have this thing called "kuivakakku" (dry cake) which is very similar to Mary Todd's cake. The funny thing is that when made right and it's fresh it isn't dry at all, but very tenderly moist. You can just eat it without anything to drink. It gets drier as the time goes by, but have it with coffee and it's still amazing. Though we always use salt, most of the time cardamom and maybe lemon jest. Though we tend to use cardamom in cakes here, dunno who, for me it's like "of course sweet buns and cakes have cardamom in them!", it's that common. And it's made with the same mold as her is, like ALWAYS, so next I'm going to read some food history about our dry cake.

regarding elvis, people seem to conflate 2 of his favourite foods. he was famous for the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, but he also was known to fly to a place in denver in 1976 to eat a sandwich that was peanut butter, grape jelly and bacon. that sandwich was apparently over 8000 calories!!!

[@CurrentlyObsessively]

No it wasnt. The amount of bacon, jelly, and pb would have to be massive to make it to 8000 calories.

[@KaiserFredVIII]

@@CurrentlyObsessively That sandwich was called the Fool's Gold Loaf and it did have a pound of bacon and a whole jar each of the grape jelly and peanut butter on a whole hollowed out loaf of bread. It would have around 2450 calories from the bacon, 2352 calories from the peanut butter (assuming around 400g per jar and 588kcal/100g) and 1000 calories from the grape jelly (again assuming ~400g in a jar and 250kcal/100g). USDA lists a whole loaf of bread as having 2006 calories. All together that amounts to around 7800 calories which is not far off from the 8k kcal figure that's commonly thrown around.

[@BlodofUlfhednar]

​@@CurrentlyObsessively It was on a giant sub loaf. The WHOLE sandwich was around 8k. They supposedly shared it.

Linda Thompson said Elvis wouldn't finish his large portions, he just found security in consistently seeing a really full plate in front of him. It was a reaction rooted in his Depression era/WW2 childhood austerity. She also stated she did attempt to portion his servings to what would be reasonable amounts, but he protested... and then explained the origins of this need for an abundance of food. Now you know the rest of the story.

[@Penguin-1966]

if you want the eggs to not curdle get the water to stop boiling, the moment you stop seeing bubbles is when its fine to put in the egg, me and my roommates constantly put eggs in our ramen and its something that ive noticed other wise like in the video the egg separates and turns all into little pieces that sink

[@othertwinXD]

nah the curdled eggs with the broth are the point! like an egg drop soup style ramen. my dad has it for breakfast quite often, just he tends to go easy on the flavor packet and hard on the freshly cracked black pepper

As a fan of your overall cooking I would be happy if you will be making more fermentacion videos. I have a fun topic for you: 1.making polish "pickles"(fermented cucumbers)aka ogórki kiszone/małosolne (the second type is better) The diffrance its just that the time you ferment them.

Thinking the double toast on the EP-PBB is to prevent the soft purée and PB from soaking the the soft bread. Especially if the sandwich sometimes had to wait a while from prep to eating.

4:15 I think Kylie could've been aiming for an egg drop soup with her ramen. 9:57 Maybe it was meant for the texture? Many miss the cheesesauce when they switch to veganism, and this was a compromise for that? 12:02 Could this be solved by cooking the drumetttes and flats separately? 20:11 I'd remove the tomato. Meh, subjective, I hate tomato slices on my pizza Thought Josh'd appreciate a simple man's thought process.

[@LizWheelerRoirdan]

egg drop soup was exactly my though too with that ramen, that's what i do sometimes.

[@this-aint-no-party]

i think it's supposed to be a 'healthy', old school vegan sauce! i make vegan cheese sauce with ingredients you'd expect, no veggies, and i guarantee it's better (but obviously doesn't have nuts and vegetables for nutrition, as cheese sauce shouldn't!)

[@undivided_unified]

real player shit = stepping up the game regular swine = regular bacon its all good homie, youll get there

[@LaurenIpsum4269]

A big issue with vegan cheeses are that many vegans are unwilling to work with things containing hydrogenated oils. Butter-flavored oil can pull a lot of weight if you're unwilling or unable to use actual butter. There's vegan sour creams and cheeses on the market already that can be heated and combined in a pan to make something better than that Lizzo recipe.

[@Dalmatianbee]

You add cream cheese to the banana in that grilled cheese and mix the peanut butter in it is so good.

I think it's very interesting how pancakes differ from region to region, like for example in Germany pancakes are very thin, almost as thin as a crepe and in the US pancakes are almost as thick as your thumb or maybe thicker

[@codygrinnell8676]

and here in Canada... the thickness depends on how I want to make my pancakes at that point in time!!

In brazil pancakes are thin also, and usually savory, with ground mrat or chicken, and then rolled up.

[@unknowncontentify]

Pro tip Josh! The “ch” in Italian is usually pronounced with the “k” sound because there is no K in the Italian alphabet. Along with no, J, W, X, and Y. This is because they are sort of redundant and we don’t need J when we have G, don’t need K when we have C or CH, don’t need W when we have V. X can be replaced by s or double s, and Y can be replaced with i’s. So you could pronounce Orecchiette as Orekiette. Or: Ow-ray-kee-eh-tay

For Betty White’s wing recipe.. what id do is simple. Instead of a marinade, take those ingredients, thicken it up a bit, and make a sauce out of it. Fry the wings like would any buffalo wing and toss. Nice little fusion of Asian and Bar food, I imagine it tasting something like a bourbon chicken but with fried wings.

[@annaleabrown4588]

Hailey Beiber's Pizza Toast reminds me of being a teenager in the midwest in the 90s (Gen X here). I would make toast in the toaster. Top with tomato slices. Top with cheese slices (usually cheddar, but PlastiCheese works if your desperate). Sprinkle on dried Italian Seasoning. In the oven to melt. Yum.

I was surprised he was acting like it was some crazy thing to put in the ramen too when it's super common. Sure, he may not like it himself, but that doesn't mean his take reflects everyone. As a chef he should know that and explain it and his biases

The pizza toast gave me a chuckle. Reminded me of my childhood when our babysitter used to make grilled cheese by toasting white bread and slapping a cold piece of American cheese in the middle. The heat melted the cheese and no pans were needed!
