1:42:32 in Northern east part of Netherlands they are still made, in Groningen. and the rolled ones are eaten on oldyears eve, representing the past year rolled up, where the flat ones for new yearsday represent the new year spreaded out before you. In regulair Dutch there are mostly the rolled ones for sale, but in Groningen also the flat ones. But it is still a tradition to make them at home, instead of buying the factory ones.. "kniepertjes" old Groningen dialect for "squeezed ones" you might say.. they seem to be squeezed between two irons, and every family has their own version of the batter and ingredients.
Wow. I just tried birria tacos for the first time a couple weeks ago and now i am absolutely going to make this one day. Thanks, man! Absolutely delicious!
I always wanted to try flip. Charles Dickens mentions it in several of his novels including Dombey and Son, Great Expectations, and Little Dorrit. I'm sure Mr Dickens had more than his share of flip in his time! Looks delicious.💜
That picture of bread making reminds me of a video that I saw here or somewhere where they got a handful of volunteers to make bread just like in the picture. They start about 10 pm so it will be ready to sell at breakfast time. They spent hours kneading by hand (and foot). Then they let it rest and the workers caught a couple of hours of sleep. Then they are up at 3 or 4 and start baking. The bread was delicious and fresh. The workers were exhausted! In the past that could be their life long job! Ugh.
Man he puts on a great show. Just awesome. I wish I lived in the 18th century. I think I’d be more at home out in the woods by a campfire/kitchen fire and working the land to live. No tech, more freedom and liberty’s. Sure it was hard back then but thats what makes it so appealing.
you know when i have a bad day i can switch this channel on, forget my woes and learn amazing lore about 18th century cooking. really happy that you make these videos. please continue your amazing work !
To those in the chat talking about 3D-printing wafer** irons; Make sure it is food-safe, binders for sintering can be toxic. Maybe lost wax casting would be a better option for producing an intricate shape without smithing skills.
I actually tried the chicken wings and they turn out great, with a clean earthy flavor. I have an awful electric stove instead of an open flame, so I had finish them off under a broiler. Else they would have turned out perfect
10:58 well my Frisian grandmother did beat the egs in the pan, so you'd get clumps of egg, not an omelette like pancake of egg. just be gentle beating it in the pan for it easily spills over, but it id doable.. A friend of mine immigrated to Poland, I visited him, and I got introduced to his Polish in-laws, and her mother served bread with egs just like my grandmother did.
I don’t know about beating them first….my dad always made scrambled eggs by putting butter in the cast iron pan and then putting the eggs directly in the butter and mixing them in the pan….
How do you keep from getting food on your cuffs? I am completely marveled at how you do this, for every time you cook, you have shirt/coat cuffs right down in there where you are working. I would be a mess if I didn't roll up my sleeves!
You're a cool dude. My dream is to have a time machine and travel back to the 18th century. Something about it was fascinating since I was a kid. I credit a teacher in 5th grade who taught us a lot about that time and took us to local battlegrounds (we have a lot of them in my area in NC). Today I hike and still visit them to walk.
This channel has most definitely contributed to my weight gain. I watch it to go to sleep, and I always have to stuff my face after watching these and then pass out😂
@7:51 that is still the best way to make scrambled eggs on a stovetop. the gordon ramsay way, he shows the 21st century method but it's the same fundamentals. and it makes the b e s t eggs on toast.
i eat a handfull of spinach after every meal. if i look far enough my ancestors was in wars there's no doubt townsends grand papa was there aswell. eating flour raw
Actually, I’m watching you make the pancakes, they would have used butter muscovado a.k.a. brown sugar and you would whip that together with basically crushed up berries Bring that to a slow summer to reduce it to make A fine jam or jam then you would just serve it with any kind of cream, sweet cream and that’s exactly what they did in the 1800s and even the 1700s it’s a very simple thing to make very extremely simple Plus, they also used honey, which was not uncommon on pancakes as well
I just watched "The English Version of the New England Pancake." You have mentioned several times that there was no leavening until after the Civil War, did people use Barm in Pancakes at the time or were they like Crepes until the advent of leavening?
I think many of the recipes where really for the upper class, things like sugar and nutmeg and spices where things the normal people could probably not afford. Another thing is that selling cookbooks for normal folks was probably not a very good business model, since books are very expensive and require someone to be able to read. I wonder what the normal people would eat, but its probably less spices and more herbs, meats where probably more like rabbit and chicken, i think steak would be way too costly.
They might not know how to read, but they could be told or shown how to cook the recipe by someone. Also, spices were sometimes not as expensive as we might think they were. They also differed much by region as to what was expensive or not.
ill be honest I dont watch your videos by choice, i put on jerma streams to sleep and i wake up to you. i think a part of it is that i watch so many cooking videos but i still enjoy the videos none the less
With the first one having cheese in it. I have a question for you on that one. How would they store cheese in an area that gets really hot in the summer without refrigerator like AZ?
I mean, imagine a COOKING livestream covering COOKING! 🤯😲😮 HOW CRAZY!!!! They do more than just cooking. Calm down or find another channel. Or better yet, do your homesteading yourself and video it. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Or just find another channel that covers what you want to watch and take your odious personality somewhere else.

Actually, if you were fortunate enough to survive childhood the life expectancy was only somewhat shorter than today. The biggest killers were smallpox, yellow fever (malaria), typhoid fever (from polluted water) and "childhood" diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
Throwing this bad boy on. About to sleep great and wake up with random knowledge on how to cook in the 18th century.

Yeah, it's a shame we had to commit genocide on the natives to come over here and eat this crap though.
The cheese soup.......add a little ground-up dried mustard seed. If you live in the UK, Colman's mustard works. Brings out the flavour of the cheese.
Colman's is sold in the US also.

Mr. Townsend is easily the best personality in the cooking genre in this day. Max Miller is a close second.
This reminds me of making pizelles with an iron (my batter is thicker). So fun to watch you figure out the proper technique.
The wafers modern cousin is a Norwegian christmas treat called Kromkake, thats the only modern version i can think of
Two hours of John and 18th century cooking? Fine! Twist my arm! 😂
This channel is a breath of fresh air 🌬️
Season 15, Jon? Only 185 years left to go. Looking forward to it! 'll be here ;) Love from Canada.
Lobster episode:
Jon: Is it worth the lobster?
Michael: Yep, (swallow), yes (swallow), yes (swallow)
Jon's eyes: Where's the lobster gone?

Steak & oysters are a delicious combo!
Potato pancakes are still a good way to recycle leftover mashed potatoes. If someone offered me some, I'd be grabbing a fork.
Yep. With leftover gravy and green beans and cheese soup. Yummm
Matter of fact, I just had some a couple of nights ago.
I absolutely love Jon's dynamic with Ivy. :)
Thanks for meaningful and valuable video as always ❤❤❤

Parmisan as a Cheshire substitute. Mr T has been at the cooking Sherry.
That fried lobster would make a great sandwich I bet

getting my daily cooking marathon in
1:44:50 - It's called a Crepe. Much easier to make nowadays than those waffle irons. Plenty of recipes online to make them.
Necromancer of Nutmeg. Lol
Ohhh is that how backing bread in the duch owen pot people do today... Comes from the way you just did the pot upside down over the bread.. 😊
Live the long version of this video ❤
This cooking was printed in Edin-burrow
I'm trying some of these ... most of these dishes
THE author of these books was trolling "lets add nutmeg to every recipe"
Sometimes I suspect that was the "that's what the kids are into these days, right?" Of the time.
Does this channel remind anyone of the forgotten weapons channel?
Yall, cook the oysters in their shells and then dump the juice and meat into the sauce
Something about lamwnting in the liquor
Wonderful!!!
Bacon Dumplings!! Nice.

Being from Louisiana I know German Puffs so very well. We would put Powered Sugar on them and call them Beignets
In sweden we drink grog to this day it is SUPER common
have you been using the planet of the vapes one? ive been considering it since your vid
ig im learning how to cook in my sleep.i woke up like this isnt gmm still cook tho
First one always fails.... These are like Norwegian krumkaka cookies. They make an electric iron that's way easier than my cast iron.
Barley cakes - indentured servant bread for poor folks and middling farmers that sold all their wheat for money.
What's up Townsends? I would have cheated with a bit of season all and smoked paprika. 18th century modern.
I think many of the recipes where really for the upper class, things like sugar and nutmeg and spices where things the normal people could probably not afford.

There is no good part to molded bread. The mold has spread through the whole thing. Never eat any part of molded bread.
On the lobster recipe, that batter and sauce might be a good way to make tilapia more palatable.
Tilapia is almost all Farm Raised and from many polluted areas, being very bad for you. Be careful with that.

Results were clear with this expert and a fire and this fire in the kitchen. Electronics results. Impact on products is vital.
Wow, this guy's got really huge hands. WTH?!
Wheres the nutmeg for the cheese soup?
With the first one having cheese in it. I have a question for you on that one. How would they store cheese in an area that gets really hot in the summer without refrigerator like AZ?
There was no AZ in the 18th century, but I know what you mean, I'd have to say they'd most likely store those types of foods in a cool root cellar.
Usually, an underground root cellar. It is usually cooler there than in the regular house (sometimes significantly cooler).
Where did Ivy get her lovely dress and cap?
Townsends store sells them. Made by hand, I believe.
thats basically carti, but harder xD

1:29:00 "Placki ziemniaczane" mniam Ive eat them yesterday.
eat it with with nothing ?
I have to say I can't eat anything without tortillas😁
Why scald the oysters? Probably to open them.
what about salt water
PLEASE LOWER THE MUSICS VOLUME! So loud compared to your voice.
marathon was good! but the cookoff was not a keeper
Why can’t he bring in recipes without nutmeg?
If you dont like nutmeg use cinnamon. The fabulous thing about cooking is that most things can be changed to your tastes.
Why would you want a recipe without nutmeg?
Nutmeg is to Townsend as the spice is to planet Dune.
Thanks we really enjoyed ! I almost forgot how incredibly cute Ivy was, You two are so interesting in your period outfits !
It was a status symbol back then.
Also nutmeg is great.
thay did have surger you melt it
I could destroy 10 lobster tails if yhey were prepared like that
Dude, that’s a lot of sugar.
Why was John such an a@#$% about the lobster? Was he mad about something that day?
People living in the 1800’s had a life expectancy of 35-45 years old and bad diet was one of the reasons why.
Not at all.
Um, no. They were sometimes healthier than we are.
Actually, if you were fortunate enough to survive childhood the life expectancy was only somewhat shorter than today. The biggest killers were smallpox, yellow fever (malaria), typhoid fever (from polluted water) and "childhood" diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
