5:25 There's actually a purpose to using water in the mustard sauce recipe. Water activates the pungent compounds in the seeds when ground. The finer the grind and the longer they're in a neutral ph environment, the spicier it will get. That reaction stops once you add the acidic vinegar. Starting with vinegar right away results in a milder sauce.

[@thememester1190]

To be fair, the milder sauce derived from this method would likely be more well-suited to the palate of somebody from 18th century England and America. The more pungent mustard we are accustomed to could be very off-putting or even inedible for somebody of the period.

Because its Townsends, it does not come off as belittling. It comes off as passionate and imaginative, like Im really there with him in that time machine.

A lot of historic cooking channels fall into the a certain ingredient "technically existed" rabbit hole to make it easier on themselves. I love that this channel, even in these fun videos, really thoughtfully considers what people from certain areas with certain experiences might have been willing to try. Really wonderful, though provoking, uplifting content.

[@OffGridInvestor]

There's SO MANY fairly common substitutes for the things they try to get past using. And they're usually confused on what it is. "Suet?" Yeah beef fat....

[@PaszerDye]

Tasting History does a great job with historical ingredients too.

[@josephteller9715]

I'd question some of the history on this one. Sausage meat making was common in the period. Scots, Germans, Eastern Europeans, Italians, and yes English all made Sausages as part of their diet . Garlic was certainly used in Italian, Spanish and French cooking in period (Remember the English insult of calling the French 'Garlic Eaters' during the Napoleonic era?) Tomatoes were also in use in Spanish cooking, as domesticated tomatoes were introduced in 1591. The English were slower, as were their Colonies, in adding them to their diet. Dr. John Cook Bennett who introduced them for medical treatments... The first known cookbook to include a variety of tomato recipes-17 in all-was the second edition of The Virginia House-Wife by Mary Randolph in 1824. It included recipes for scalloped baked tomatoes, soup, and even marmalade.

[@terminallumbago6465]

I can definitely see old Ben enjoying a burger, and introducing it to all his contacts. I wouldn't put it past him that if you told him about fast food franchises, he might attempt to open a chain of "Franklin's Hamburghs on a Bun" friendly fast food enterprises, both here and in Paris. Just imagine all the other items he might be able to put on the menu, just by placing period servings on a bun: Fried Fish Fillets (in battered, of course), Bacon & Cheese on Bun, and so much more. If anyone could do so back then, it would be Ben, with all of his vision. "You absolutely must try something off my menu, and you'll enjoy "Ben's Meat on a Bun".

[@PhycoKrusk]

Another reason that was at least as important was that a lot of dinnerware at the time was made from pewter. When the acid from the tomatoes (or indeed, any acid including vinegar and the like) came into contact with pewter, it would leech lead from the pewter, which would naturally lead to serious health issues. These issue would obviously not occur on the exact same dinnerware that did not come into contact with acid, so the resulting illness was attributed to the tomatoes.
