@@BigDizzle-lg2eh Until you remember that Max never said that it didn't, and that the historical context for the "city chicken" mold was that it was created during the Great Depression and continued to be popular into the 1950's due to the unavailability of fresh chicken throughout these decades.
This proves how legit Max is, having all these random history facts at his fingertips. He’s not just reading Wikipedia articles and making videos about it. He really knows his history!
I have one of those coffee grinders but I use mine to grind and mix spices instead of coffee. I got it from my grandma who got it from her mother who got it from her mother and we have always used it for grinding spices. The story was my great great grandfather got it for my great great grandmother as a wedding gift when they visited France for their honeymoon. My great great grandma, who had never drank a drop of coffee in her life had absolutely no idea what it was used for, thought it was for spices and one day he walked into the kitchen to find her grinding spices in it. My great great grandpa burst into a fit of laughter, but when she asked him if she was doing something wrong he didn't have the heart to tell her. So he kissed her on the forehead and said no she was using it just right. It's now a family heirloom, with a great story, that we still use today.
@@aferret5 They were a cute couple! He adored her and gave her anything she wanted. We have some of their old wedding photos still. In all of them they are making funny faces at each other, her pulling his tie too tight, shoving cake on each others faces, and even him popping out from under her skirts holding one of her stockings. They married as soon as they were old enough and they were married for 70 years. Their marriage survived several wars and the great depression! He passed first and she claimed " he let her beat him at everything else and their final parting was the only thing he refused to let her win."
This is my experience with a lot of "antique" equipment. The whisks and butter churner my great-grandma used are like the old built for eternity tools in the shed. They are still working better and are sturdier than anything you can buy today.
The funny thing is that simple made well (especially with engineering and mechanics) is way better than overcomplicated drivel. A lot of the crappy plastic products we have today are over-engineered to make up for the weaker materials and to sound better in the ad copy. Seems like every modern company has forgotten that something isn't finished when there's nothing left to add; it's finished when there's nothing left to take away and the product still does its job.
I use an electric grinder because my wrist is permanently injured and manual grinders are among the things that can make the pain flair up something awful, but I still own one that's suitable for camping or just being on the road, as it's also a pourover brewer and I thought it was worth having around in my collection.
For a different take on the manual coffee grinder, look up a channel called “My Mechanics”, there’s a video of him rebuilding/remaking one of these. Quite interesting.
The look and way Matt Side-eyed and said “The Queen of the Ices” will live in my head rent free forever. @tastinghistory - Max would be the best brunch buddy EVER!
We use molds like that with people with disabilities to make pureed foods look like the food items they were made from. (i.e. pureed chicken made back into a chicken shape). It is done to both preserve the dignity of the individual but also to make it somewhat more appetizing and appealing!
I worked in a nursing home kitchen for over 20 years. Some of those meals looked awful, especially the purée ones. It would have been nice to be able to make something that looked better.
Guys! City Chicken is STILL a regional dish!! I grew up in North East Ohio in the USA. I didn't know until I moved away that city chicken was regional. As far as I know, it existed far before the great depression and was something European immigrants made from cheap offcuts. Today it is made on skewers with WHOLE chunks of pork. You then bread, shallow fry them, and pop them into the oven to finish cooking. Super yummy! The grocery stores in Cleveland, Ohio, where I am from, sell the meat pre-cubed with the skeweres for you to attach them to! It's a normal weekly dinner there! So fun to see a variant on your show! Also, absolutely LOVE Max Miller! Do more collabs!! ❤
Midwest USA here (Wisconsin) and I grew up eating mock chicken legs as one of our school lunch options! I haven't had them in decades, but definitely something I've had here many times as a kid.
I had never heard of city chicken until I moved to Cleveland. I honestly thought it was from free range chickens that ran around the city. I still love the dish 20 years later
What's neat about the mayo maker is that it is essentially the same as an immersion blender method. They are both all about making it easier to control how much oil gets added at one time. In this case, you add oil to the top all at once, and its design slows how fast it drips down. With the Immersion blender, you add the oil all at once, and pulsing the blender slows down how fast the oil is mixed with the other ingredients.
I really like your Max Miller collabs, the chemistry between you all is so brilliant. Max has a brilliant sense of humour that you all manage to set off each time.
Might be a little difficult since Max is in the US, and the boys are in the UK. But I do agree, anytime Max is in the UK, or the Sorted team is in the US, you guys should Collab.
Is anyone else so excited about all these collabs? Sorted, Max Miller, Sonny Side, Townsend... I watch them all religiously and love it when they get together
I live in Iraq, and sometimes the whole electricity situation is unpredictable. My need for coffee isn't. So I use a hand grinder, and I love it. Love the mayo maker too. I bet it would work to whip cream too.
Love Max! So fun to have him on! Fun story, in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Hard Winter, her family ground wheat kernels in one of those coffee grinders in order to make bread. There was no flour available and they lived on this bread at the end of that winter.
Kids would LOVE such a device as the drumstick-mold. You can use all kinds of things to mold, firm tofu, rice mixtures, polenta, ice cream (freeze the drumettes really solid, then make fried ice cream), even... _chicken!_
My father had a hand crank coffee grinder. I woke up every morning to the sound of the coffee beans grinding and the smell of a fresh pot. I personally can't drink it and drink tea in the morning, but the coffee grinder is such a nostalgia thing for me.
I love Max and his show so when I saw him in the thumbnail, I gave it a quick click. I was not disappointed. I love the antique kitchen gadgets because I used some of them with my grandmother and it's a walk down memory lane to see them again.
@@BOT_JERRY Bad excuse. I think you behave like that in real life as well. But only towards people you know can't teach you a good lesson. The low blow blind swipe cowards way.
A fantastic collaboration!.. Max HAS to come back again! ... The coffee grinder really brought back memories...my Opa and Omi (German grandparents) - born in the late 1800s ..had a grinder JUST like that in their kitchen.. It passed down to Mum and is still in the family (but not with me!!!...DRAT!!!!) ..and still works!
My Dutch grandparents, and pretty much all of my uncles and aunts on my dad’s side has a china wall mounted antique coffee grinder in there kitchen and they all work.
@@gerardacronin334 Or a cup for oil on the top, so you could pour the oil there and have it drip down slowly while you make the mayo holding the jar with your other hand.
Back when I was a young lad, nobody wanted to be a historian, and everyone thought I was an idiot for getting my degree, and being so… enthusiastic about history. Now, everyone gets it: *History and Historians ROCK!* ❤❤
Kind of like some of the older episodes where you guys bought specific items for each other. Can you do an antique gadget episode of items that each of you find that you genuinely think are useful today.
The City Chicken gadget brought back some lovely memories (and a sentimental tear!) for me. Back in 1968 my high school (Montreal, Canada) did a band exchange with a high school in Pittsburgh, USA, and the family I stayed with had me help make "city chicken" for dinner one night, apparently a popular dish in that state. We were each given one of those gadgets and spent a fun half hour helping prep the "drumsticks" for the family dinner. Fun and surprisingly delicious! Never thought I'd see that gadget again, so many years later, and as an antique gadget (which could say a lot about me!).
There's still a manual coffee grinder in my parent's kitchen, and I remember genuinely having a lot of fun grinding coffee beans for my dad to have a drink. There was always something satisfying about cranking the handle and beginning to feel the grind get easier as more and more of the coffee beans broke down. The sound of it will always stick with me, I think.
I found Sorted through Tasting History. It's always great to see you work together. I'd love to see what Max would bring with one of those episodes where the cooks bring 3 ingredients from home. Even if you don't have an active challenge on at the time.
The drumstick mold could definitely make a comeback. Ground/minced chicken is readily available these days and kids love novelty. For those that wish to reduce or avoid processed shaped frozen chicken nuggets, this coule be an alternative and knowing exactly what is going into what you are feeding your family is always better than not
@TastyingHistory, I love it when you're on the show. Here's a neat anecdote to go along with the old coffee grinder. In one of her books, Laura Ingalls Wilder talked about a time in the midwest when snow stopped the train from coming thru with supplies. As the winter went on and the supplies they had were running low, the general store started sharing what they had left: wheat grain. Ma, Pa, and all the children (there were 3 daughters, and I think the youngest was about 4 or 5 years old) took turns grinding the grain into flour in their coffee grinder to make bread. This was about all the food they could get, so they had to make a lot of bread. Considering the average family-size loaf requires 4-5 cups of flour, and taking into account that they were all a bit starved, can you imagine how exhausting that must have been?
So informative! There’s so much I keep learning from Sorted videos about food habits, food history not just recipes! Loved it, great collab and excellent content, as always! Also, knowing you guys are away in America now, shows just how hard the team has worked to have a ready set of uploads delivered to us, bang on schedule! Thank you so much to the entire Sorted Team!❤❤❤
I've never seen a mold for city chicken. We just had it on skewers. Even into the 70s, we had that for dinner once or twice a week, though, and you can still buy a package of city chicken at most grocery stores in the greater Pittsburgh area.
I do love some of the old moulds that were for ice-cream. They could be very ornate & have become very collectable. One of my favourite moulds isn't for ice-cream though, it's a cornbread mould that turns out corn-cob shaped cornbread. Always fun when eating Mexican food at home. 🌽
The chicken leg mould reminds me when I was a kid. My Mom used to make mock chicken legs when we were kids. It was small pieces of pork and veal on skewers breaded and fried. Always excited to see we were having those for dinner.
You guys made my day! Some of my favorite people on the planet and I was so happy to see Max on this video. What a great idea, fits perfectly!! Best wishes from New England USA!!! 💙
My favorite antique kitchen gadgets so far, is the donut filling machine. Which also had to be used on "washed up". Ben using this, to "fill" the melon, was absolutely hillarious ;-). Lets see what awaits us here....
Yeah, I got one for myself after seeing it the first time.. I scoured all the selling sites for months until I got one for a.. let's say reasonable price. Because apparently they are very much still a commercially used item and many of them are priced as such. But sweet Celestia, it took some time to figure out how it worked, not that it is very complicated piece of kit... but if you never worked with basically a manual pump before, it took some time before I realized you have to "prime" the pump by injecting some custard or jam into it. But it works like a charm.
I LOVE seeing Max on your channel! Hopefully he will stick around to cook with you as well! Also, please give the mayonnaise maker to Jamie; it would be hilarious to have it show up in an episode where he needs to make mayo 🤣
Great episode, lovely collab!! But the Great Depression is usually seen as having gone from the crash of 1929, until WWII began in 1939. So, more than a decade before the 1950s you keep referring to (usually known as "The Post War Years").
Just a question as a possibility as they’re from the UK was the 50s considered a depression there? Because if I recall, the years after the war was quite a hard time economically, and they still had rationing. Maybe somebody from England can chime in
Still have my coffee grinder from my grandad. Works great when the power is out and we need coffee. Two of my favorite food channels all in one place. Y'all have made my day!
I have the same item as number 2 but a bit smaller. I use it to grind peppercorns and nothing beats fresh pepper in your food and also it becomes a talking point at the table. Great vid
I have a functioning antique coffee grinder in case of power outages. An ice storm can leave us without electricity for 3 to 5 days. But with the crank grinder, a French press and my propane grill I can still make a pot of good coffee.
My grandparents had one of those manual coffee grinders. Whenever I stayed over I remember my grandma grinding the coffee each night, and setting up the electric percolator so it could just be plugged in the next morning for easy coffee.
I thought it might have been a mould for little cones of sugar. I know the real cones are much bigger, but it was the only thing that came to mind. That was before we saw the blades inside.
I love that you had Max in the studio!!! 😊❤❤❤ I know that he can't be there often since he lives here in the States. I love Max.. the random bits of history just at his fingertips is fantastic and always so interesting 😊❤❤
Tasting History and Sorted collab? Yes please!! I have one of the ice cream scoops, mine has a G inside a circle for the turner. It was made by Gilchrist in New Jersey from 1910 to 1916.
The great depression was the 1930s not the 1950s. I was born in the 1960s and when I was growing up chicken wasn't as available as it is now. We'd rarely have it - it was usually our Easter dinner .
Same but I was in Australia. Lamb was cheaper and minced mutton was used for stuffing. Even when we came to UK in '71 chicken was expensive unless you got undrawn birds from a farmer.
Thanks for having me to the studio, guys!
Thank you for doing this - good fun.
AWESOME 😎
Thanks for collaborating with Sorted. Very much appreciated. Clack clack!
We had the best time! Thanks so much for visiting us 🙌

@@_Its.Just.Felix_that last comment “he let her beat him at everything” acc killed me this is so sweet
I would LOVE to see Max back on here to do one of the antique cookbook challenges with Ben. Let him go on with the history of whatever dish is done
YES YES YES
the fact that the antique mayo maker works better than the modern ones they have tested is hilarious to me.
They are still available from different brands, but the same idea.
This is my experience with a lot of "antique" equipment. The whisks and butter churner my great-grandma used are like the old built for eternity tools in the shed. They are still working better and are sturdier than anything you can buy today.
They were built to last, not "planned obsolescence."
Well it was only a few years back when companies rediscovered the potato ricer.
The funny thing is that simple made well (especially with engineering and mechanics) is way better than overcomplicated drivel. A lot of the crappy plastic products we have today are over-engineered to make up for the weaker materials and to sound better in the ad copy.
Seems like every modern company has forgotten that something isn't finished when there's nothing left to add; it's finished when there's nothing left to take away and the product still does its job.
That last device... I would 100% use for making drumstick shaped fried ice cream!
Ooooh!
My thought, too. You'd have to freeze the drumettes very hard first, but mmmm!
It could make a comeback if it was in a shape of a dinosaur. You know... for dinosaur shaped nuggets
I can see this being used for ‘plant based’ drumsticks!
You could bread it and then deepfry! I am pretty sure that is weird enough to be a Michelin star recipe. Deepfried drumstick icecream.
I work in an antique store. The old coffee grinder is in high demand here for when people go camping or as a back-up when the electricity goes out.
That’s super interesting. People need their coffee fix!
I've see these at a lot of cafes used as decor
I use an electric grinder because my wrist is permanently injured and manual grinders are among the things that can make the pain flair up something awful, but I still own one that's suitable for camping or just being on the road, as it's also a pourover brewer and I thought it was worth having around in my collection.
My brother got one when he had a newborn baby, so he could grind his coffee fresh even when the baby was sleeping.
For a different take on the manual coffee grinder, look up a channel called “My Mechanics”, there’s a video of him rebuilding/remaking one of these. Quite interesting.
The look and way Matt Side-eyed and said “The Queen of the Ices” will live in my head rent free forever. @tastinghistory - Max would be the best brunch buddy EVER!

I do love some of the old moulds that were for ice-cream. They could be very ornate & have become very collectable. One of my favourite moulds isn't for ice-cream though, it's a cornbread mould that turns out corn-cob shaped cornbread. Always fun when eating Mexican food at home. 🌽
A fantastic collaboration of two of my favourite TH-cam channels!
The chicken leg mould reminds me when I was a kid. My Mom used to make mock chicken legs when we were kids. It was small pieces of pork and veal on skewers breaded and fried. Always excited to see we were having those for dinner.
I can see these as being great for a kid's party - even using chicken mince. Something fun for them and no bones either.
You guys made my day! Some of my favorite people on the planet and I was so happy to see Max on this video. What a great idea, fits perfectly!! Best wishes from New England USA!!! 💙
My favorite antique kitchen gadgets so far, is the donut filling machine. Which also had to be used on "washed up". Ben using this, to "fill" the melon, was absolutely hillarious ;-).
Lets see what awaits us here....
That was a fun one!
That was hilarious... especially the poll of of he was allowed to use Jamie's finger..
@@toni_go96 You mean Steven Seagulls finger ;-)
Yeah, I got one for myself after seeing it the first time.. I scoured all the selling sites for months until I got one for a.. let's say reasonable price. Because apparently they are very much still a commercially used item and many of them are priced as such. But sweet Celestia, it took some time to figure out how it worked, not that it is very complicated piece of kit... but if you never worked with basically a manual pump before, it took some time before I realized you have to "prime" the pump by injecting some custard or jam into it. But it works like a charm.
My grandmother used to have that mayonnaise maker! I enjoy these gadget shows so much!!!
My two fave food channels in one video, just the best collab, I always love when you do stuff together.
Max Miller is an International Treasure and must be protected at all costs
They can't say anything about it but I pray so much that Max is on the podcast! Been loving the pod guys keep up the good work!!
Dude, fingers crossed. That would be awesome!!!!
Two of my favourite channels in one!! Perfect!!
I love Tasting History! I also love your show! Thank you for the special treat!
I LOVE seeing Max on your channel! Hopefully he will stick around to cook with you as well! Also, please give the mayonnaise maker to Jamie; it would be hilarious to have it show up in an episode where he needs to make mayo 🤣
One of my dream collabs! Love both channels so much! Plus, I'm almost through my backlog of Tasting History!!
Max and his channel of TastingHistory is an amazing watch - well done team in bringing him on!
Great episode, lovely collab!!
But the Great Depression is usually seen as having gone from the crash of 1929, until WWII began in 1939.
So, more than a decade before the 1950s you keep referring to (usually known as "The Post War Years").
Just a question as a possibility as they’re from the UK was the 50s considered a depression there? Because if I recall, the years after the war was quite a hard time economically, and they still had rationing. Maybe somebody from England can chime in
@@beckycaughel7557 Yeah, that could be the explanation. For the British, rationing only ended in 1959, I think?
@@beckycaughel7557 Yes, there was rationing, and what were known as "The Austerity Years", but still not The Depression.
Still have my coffee grinder from my grandad. Works great when the power is out and we need coffee. Two of my favorite food channels all in one place. Y'all have made my day!
I have the same item as number 2 but a bit smaller. I use it to grind peppercorns and nothing beats fresh pepper in your food and also it becomes a talking point at the table. Great vid
Love seeing Max with you guys, so cool to see you guys experiance his historical persoective!
Many old houses in Finland still have those coffee grinders. We used one all the time when I was a kid in the 90s.
Was just about to say! More of a grandma thing than an antique gadget haha
I have a functioning antique coffee grinder in case of power outages. An ice storm can leave us without electricity for 3 to 5 days. But with the crank grinder, a French press and my propane grill I can still make a pot of good coffee.
I love the Max and Ben dynamic
2 food history geeks having fun with food history. Fun for us and them
So great to have Max Miller back on! This was a fun episode, too. The kitchen gadget videos are my favorite 🙂
Nothing to shake off the Monday slog than a collab between the most amazing cooking channels🔥🔥🔥🔥
My grandparents had one of those manual coffee grinders. Whenever I stayed over I remember my grandma grinding the coffee each night, and setting up the electric percolator so it could just be plugged in the next morning for easy coffee.
The ice cream scoop -- I immediately thought it was to make cone-shaped timbales.
Thought it was for shaving a sugar cone!
Because of the small size, I though of a butter mold for fancy dinners.
I thought it might have been a mould for little cones of sugar. I know the real cones are much bigger, but it was the only thing that came to mind. That was before we saw the blades inside.
So cool to have Max there!
My DREAM collab! I am so glad you guys were able to meet up again! Please tell me you somehow got him to sit down for an episode of the podcast!!!!
🤞🏼 please please please
I always love when these guys get together. They clearly enjoy each other's company so much.
YES! Collabs with Max are my favorite ones! Love both your channels❤❤❤❤
Just discovered Max's channel over the weekend and I've been binge watching all the previous episodes. Amazing to see this great cross over.
When I saw the drumstick mould, my first thought was of those duck-shaped rice moulds that had their day in the TikTok food world.
I love that you had Max in the studio!!! 😊❤❤❤
I know that he can't be there often since he lives here in the States. I love Max.. the random bits of history just at his fingertips is fantastic and always so interesting 😊❤❤
10:04 “(Ben glugs)” may be one of the greatest captions of all time.
This is such a pleasant surprise! I've been binging on Max's videos over the last few days and they are incredible!
Yay! @Sortedfood and @TastingHistory ❤ Love the energy snd nerdinesslevel, thank you ❤
Cutest collab ever! Two of my favorite TH-cam shows in one! Now you all need to go on an Antiques Roadtrip together.
17:33 "It existed in the 1950s when there was the Great Depression." Or the opposite. 😆
I don't believe the "Great Depression" was during the booming 1950's, but I could just be a dumb American 😂
Tasting History and Sorted collab? Yes please!! I have one of the ice cream scoops, mine has a G inside a circle for the turner. It was made by Gilchrist in New Jersey from 1910 to 1916.
Worlds are colliding, here! And I love it!!
Same 😁
Max added just an extra dose of geekiness and excitement and I loved it!
The great depression was the 1930s not the 1950s.
I was born in the 1960s and when I was growing up chicken wasn't as available as it is now. We'd rarely have it - it was usually our Easter dinner .
Yeah that bothered me a bit. I thought everybody knew that…
Same but I was in Australia. Lamb was cheaper and minced mutton was used for stuffing.
Even when we came to UK in '71 chicken was expensive unless you got undrawn birds from a farmer.
