As for soaking beans, the main reason to do it is to allow bacteria time to break down the **Raffinose** in your beans. Raffinose is a sugar that's indigestible to humans because we lack the right enzyme. But bacteria in our intestines can break it down. When bacteria break down Raffinose, gas is produced... And then later expelled. Soaking beans 8-12 hours reduces the Raffinose content. So soak your beans, your spouse will thank you.

Love your vids, probably seen every one of them. But isn't saying the language revival project is important because of it's value to American History kind of messed up? American history is why it went dormant for 150 years. Supporting it seems more important because its the right thing to do and because it's important to the future of the Wampanoag people.

Thinking about how excited he might have been coming home, ready to share the story of his escape from his captors and everything he learned in England... only to find his entire tribe dead of disease - or maybe he got news of that before he left England, I wonder. It really is a shame we can't read about this experience in his own words. The fact that, after all that, he still chose to help these Europeans and created such a lasting peace, he must've been an incredible person.

While we're used to Frybread, Indian Tacos/Navajo Tacos and similar contemporary dishes, it's amazing to see a dish that was used before the settlers/pilgrims/colonizers arrived. Since it is Native American Heritage month, would it be possible to cook other Indigenous dishes to futher educate others on our cuisine? Anyways, thank you for this video. Much love Max.

Sadly, fry bread (delicious) is beginning to become a symbol of oppression for indigenous people- represents the government staples like flour, that they had never eateñ before, when forced to move to reservations. Cornmeal, acorn flour, etc. was much more healthy. Yet, it does represent the adaptability of Native Americans to make a yummy dish out of the Spartan rations they were allowed by the invaders & there are many happy memories of pow wows & Naive American Grandmother's, etc. powering out scrumptious fry bread, etc. Check out the many talented Native American Chef's videos on KZbin on Native American recipes. Sean Sherman is a name to start with. I remember my Father, part Ute, opining about how delicious pinion pinenuts were (he was pretty poor). Pregnant woman found a lot of nutrition from them, for example. Hit up the Elders, for information, before they're gone & teach your children.

To Max or anyone else interested in reading more along the lines of this video, I can only suggest "Changes in the Land" by William Cronon. It's all about the indigenous tribes in New England, Wampanoag included, and how they managed the land before and during contact, and land rights and what not. If you're feeling particularly nerdy, later editions include information on Cronon's methodology, which is cool in the sense that this was one of the first environmental histories. It's also one of the least 'brick' ish books I've had to read for my MA, which is a nice plus.

Apparently I had ancestry on both sides here. This was great to see. Interesting and non food related anecdote: One of the Wampanoag stories indicated that, in their time living on the eastern coastline, they encountered men who "sailed down the coast in winged ships who fought with axes" long before the Europeans arrived. Combining that story with the account that one of the Wampanoag members of the tribe who married into my family was described as "Red of hair with fair skin and blue eyes". I have a good guess who they met sailing down the coast years before.

One of my anthropology professors is a very traditional Abenaki lady who preserves their cultural heritage. When i asked her if her people had any stories about preColumbian contact, she said "Yes!" and told me a story about a young woman who was kidnapped by "Huge lighthaired strangers, who had clothes of many colors, that ran in 2 different directions" If that isnt a Native's description of big Viking dudes in woven plaid/herringbone/ tweed etc l, i dont know what is We know that the Norse colony we found in Newfoundland wasnt inhabited year round, and was probably a repair/waystation. We also found a bag full of butternuts, which only grow several hundred miles away from the site in warmer climates.

Only recently have I gotten into studying the history of these people. I understand that modern cousins sometimes dislike the term "Viking." Only this week did I see a real explanation of why when a Norwegian historian on a KZbin documentary I was watching said that all Scandinavians know what outsiders don't! Viking is something YOU DO, not someone you ARE. I also was amazed to find out that women could be considered equals as long as they were good warriors! One of the most famous and sumptuous ship graves was uncovered recently. Inside was the body of a female Viking and likely a slave girl that was buried with her. (Back to the human sacrifice.) I had no idea how far they actually traveled and took their culture! There were Viking villages all over Eastern Europe and even recently, an archaeologist found a Buddhist statue in Norway I believe? In an ancient village. They have narrowed it down to current day Pakistan! That is where it was made! WHATTTTT???? I did not learn this as a school child! Now I wish to travel to Norway! My grandmother was a world traveler and traveled to Norway many times: she loved it. But now I'm captivated! I also had no idea how bloody the culture was. I am fascinated with both things. I had no idea that the bodies found in the peat bogs when I was a little girl were victims of human sacrifice! Maybe one day, Max will get back to our North Men!

In this case it really was one actual generation. One of the reasons for the lasting peace is that Bradford and Massasoit regularly went and stayed in each other's homes. One time when Massasoit became ill, Bradford went and personally nursed him back to health. These two men knew how their communities needed each other in order to survive. But when more English came and they did not have that mutual respect, Massasoit's son Metacom (aka King Phillip) and Bradford's son did not stay in each other's homes, and viewed each other's community as a threat. Metacom was the first Native American leader to try to unite the various tribes in a war against the English, but by that point it was already too late. His war, though unsuccessful, remains the most deadly war in "US" history in terms of the percentage of the English population who were killed.

I've only discovered your channel somewhat recently, but both the videos and comment sections are a gift. Especially in touching upon such a difficult subject in US history, we can not ignore/simplify the past but face it in an honest and human way. Food has always been a bridge across cultures, a way in giving life, and representing food in an honest way helps us honestly face history as well. The teachings of the three sisters is essential in indigenous cultures, and I am glad people are more widely talking about the lessons that can be learned from it. I recommend for people to read Braiding Sweetgrass for an in-depth understanding into indigenous cultures, which involves food quite a bit. Bravo Max, well done and keep humanizing our history in the best way possible.

So much of our history has been colored by marketing and watered down to simple children's stories that's it's always good to get the larger picture of what actually occured without skewing the story for other ends. Thank you Max. You've found the perfect vehicle to deliver education and history and make it relatable and enjoyable.

I find the story of the first thanksgiving so incredibly sad, though inspiring all the same. It's insane that Tisquantum was able to find love in his heart for the Europeans who brought him such pain, and that the settlers and the local tribe were able to so peacefully get along and help each other for that fifty year period. Still it's heartbreaking that humans can switch up on each other so quickly. If only that pact had been maintained for longer, our nation's history might look quite different.

Just a tip when cooking a thick stew like this: you can cook it without stirring if you layer it properly. So in this case, you'd put the polenta on top of the other ingredients. That way the thick stuff can't go to the bottom of the pot, and you'd only have to worry about it burning after you start stirring it up. So you layer it, let all the ingredients simmer, and only stir to finish it all and maybe reduce it a little if it isn't thick enough.

This dish is pretty similar to "Locro", also a common holiday food here in Argentina. It's eaten mainly in independence day (9th of July), 25 de mayo and workers day (1st of may). The main differences are that the corn used is white (although it can vary) and just cracked (not ground), the beans are a big type of lima bean called "pallares", and it uses tough cuts of cow's meat with a lot of bone and connective tissue, and it also uses pig's trotter, pig's skin and "chorizo colorado" (a cured chorizo with a lot of paprika/pimenton).

We live in Western Maine, once inhabited by the Pequawkets. They were known for their annual migration from the White Mountains around what is now North Conway, NH, down the Saco River to the ocean at Biddeford Pool, Maine. Along the way, in the spring, they'd plant the Three Sisters near the Great Falls in Hiram, just about a mile from us. The planting technique worked so well that after planting them, they'd continue on their way, not returning to the garden site until their trip home in the autumn. They'd harvest the food on the way. Think of all the time we spend tending our gardens... They had a much better system!

Regarding dry beans and pre-soaking, it really comes down to humidity levels during storage. In former times, before the plastic age, beans were generally purchased in mass quantities packaged in cloth bags. That is not to say that modern plastic bags are fool-proof in every regard, but the problems presented by old cloth bags are less frequently encountered. Even the commonly seen plastic bag of dried beans can be riddled with microscopic perforations that allow humidity to damage the dried beans within. On account of this, one can buy several bags of dried beans and get vastly differing results from each bag. I, myself, have encountered grocery-bought bags of beans that never fully re-hydrated even with 10 hours of cooking. With this in mind, consider that in a warm, humid environment, such as the many-rivered East Coast of the USA (be it Florida or the Mid-Atlantic region), if not kept with great care, the outermost layer of a dried bean can become partially re-hydrated and modify the bean starches, this can later become dehydrated as weather changes, resulting in a sort of surface layer on affected beans that acts like a seal against deeper re-hydration during future use. My paternal grandmother would refer to such beans as "old". In her thinking, the only way to get around this problem was parboiling the beans in UNSALTED water, removing the pot from the heat, and leaving them to soak over night (either under refrigeration or in a cold room). Here, the heat is required to re-modify the affected starch layer sealing the bean. A superior method she found was to use a pressure cooker to cook "old" beans. The science of this is simple, the high pressure first fractures the modified starch layer and forces moisture deeper into the beans.
@richdiddens4059
@richdiddens4059 2 жыл бұрын
Another factor is the hardness of the water. Where I live I've found a rounded tablespoon of baking soda added to the hot soak water also helps. You just have to thoroughly rinse the beans after the soak.

The benefit (I'm told) of soaking the beans overnight is that it creates consistency in the cooking time. Commercial beans are sometimes of mixed ages and dryness, and some will cook more quickly than others. Overnight soaking is supposed to even this process out.

More than that, it makes the beans gentler on the digestive system by leaching out some of the oligosaccharides, which our bodies can’t digest but some of our gut bacteria can. At least it does if you discard the soaking water.

Fun fact, my 8th-grade history teacher told us that the Mayflower was supposed to dock in Jamestown, Virginia. A storm blew its way off course and they wound up landing on Cape Cod. Also, Basque fishermen had been fishing for cod along the New England and Canadian Maritime for 300 years at least. They would then dry and salt the cod and sail back to the Iberian Pennisula and sell a monopoly of bacalao.

@@SamAronow It was that particular group’s first harvest in the new land. Harvest-thanksgiving feasts have a very long and rich history in Europe, and presumably most other parts of the world, with a few obvious exceptions such as Antarctica.

If you do some research, youll find that Thanksgiving actually started in Canada, Not the US. The Pilgrim story is the first documented American Thanksgiving

My guess: it's earlier in Canada because the growing season is shorter and harvest comes earlier.

Thank you so much for this opportunity to learn the truth of the pilgrims and more importantly the history of the native peoples completely different from the story we have been told for so long
