    Don’t forget to soak the salt pork! I don’t remember if you covered this or not, but you CANNOT eat it right out of the barrel! That’s a dangerous amount of salt. It needs to be soaked in good, clean water, preferably overnight, then it’ll be safe to eat.

    • @mwbwyatt

      I think in most recipes back then it didnt always specify to soak the salt pork or beef because it was generally common sense/knowledge to do so before consumption. And i havent read too many historical cookbooks but they tended to omit things that were common sense. But it was indeed an alarming amount of salt 😂

      This will teach you to eat the way of nature and stop the processed food issues we are so accustomed to ..
      We are all to lazy in America with to many choices so meditate an think deep with a clear mind on what you should eat an the time you should put aside to cook..

    The first dish is Confit Chicken which is classic 15th century French method of preserving meat, in particular duck, geese and chickens. The meat was stored air-tight in butter throughout the winter. Today, it is still a delicacy loved by foodies the world over.
    Salt pork is still a very common ingredient today in Germany and the countries to the east like Poland etc. It is incredibly delicious but must be used sparingly. There are methods dating back centuries individual to each area. No wonder people migranting to the American Frontier took all that knowledge with them.

    Off topic a bit but Quick question, I have been wanting a charleville for my impression but haven’t found documentation of civilians owning military muskets in the mid 18th century (1750-1760)? Could see it happening just haven’t found any written documentation of this happening any input is appreciated.

    • @kolbywilliams7234
      @kolbywilliams7234 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There really wasn’t a distinction between civilian and military firearms in this time, so you won’t see that documented. The military would use whatever was standard issue, and civilians could use the same if they wanted. Civilians could own better rifles than the military if they had the money, or they might use whatever musket/rifle they inherited from their dad. What’s more important is what economic class you are trying to portray. If you are lower class, you should use an older model musket. If you are middle class or above, there’s no reason you couldn’t own the same rifle that was standard issue for the military. You’re talking about a period of history where civilians could legally own artillery, the limit is financial, not legal.

    As a veteran I have to state this. Now days we have pickle juice and electrolytes. To help us hydrate better. Or back in my younger years in school they gave us salt squares to make us sweat more and drink more water. Salt pork as a ration. Back then could be comparable to that whether cooked and prepared or not.

    Your description of salting meet for preservation like salt pork for example is not too dissimilar to have corned beef is made it is salted a great deal much like the description is given, kosher meat does not have the arteries veins that sort of things in it generally, and it is generally koshering beforehand.

    • @mwbwyatt
      @mwbwyatt 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Because you arent like, heating it to frying temperature, just braising or poaching temperature. I imagine he figures it would kinda be like goopy flour when oil isnt brought to frying temperature or you put too much in a hot pan and cool the oil too much. Clarified butter is much more forgiving with that tho it doesnt cool temperature quickly so it probably did lightly fry it before the temperature lowered enough for the poaching. Thats just my two cents tho, i could be wrong 😂
