The Working Man's Dessert
It can be kind of funny for us to think about what dessert was like for the working class in 18th century America. There was no ice cream, or was there? Fruit, cake, fritter? Find out right here in The Working Man’s Dessert!

Forest Survival Food
Переглядів 155 тис.Місяць тому
We have had a lot of folks ask us to talk about foraging. Spring was a hard time for many people living in rural areas in the 18th century. When food ran out, and before new food had grown in the garden, foraging in the woods was often turned to as a means of survival.

Food They Thought Was Poison
Переглядів 196 тис.2 місяці тому
There were rules about food throughout history that we don’t think of today. There tons of foods and food preparations that were happening everyday 200 years ago that we would turn our noses up to today. On the other hand, we eat food items all the time now that folks would have been afraid to eat in the time period. Learn about the ever-dangerous TOMATO in this episode. The most dangerous food...
The Spice Nobody Wanted
Переглядів 909 тис.2 місяці тому
One of the questions we seek to answer on our channel is that of the plight of poor folks in American history. What did they eat? How did they dress? Did they have enjoyment in life? They didn’t have the best cuts of meat or the most sought after ingredients. What they did have was plenty of flavor! Spice is the king of the poor man’s kitchen.

sounds awfully miserable !!! no roof, no eal walls ??? BRRRRR TOO COLD !!!!
I've seen people make it with bacon
Wait are you trying to tell me? Dad, that cheese bread and beer isn't a good meal?
Clothes look awesome 👌
I had no idea Salt is used as a glaze. Thank you for this excellent video
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 love trying new spices, herbs and vegetables
You guys do a fantastic job and offer a tremendous catalog of content.
🤔 People still eat jello for desert? Eww
Gen Z cry when they have to work 8 hours a day. The answer is a hell no!!!
Edible failures are the best failures.Needed a binder.Possibly the oats were too wet also.
That chew, though... no way this is good.
So can you eat those pie crusts from the small pies/pastys? Why would they throw them away if they were edible?
Absolutely not! People are way to soft today. People would starve, freeze, or die from dehydration. It is disgusting what people have turned into.
This meal would be like 50% of my daily salary. A large cup of black coffee and a pouch of Snus is my actual working mans breakfast.
The thing I love about this guy and channel, is that he doesn’t romanticize the time period.
I dont envy the wealthy. I think in todays world people strive for it because they believe its possible, but realistically its like its always been, you get lucky. What I do envy is the chefs, someone who gets to see the pure art of decadent food laid out, imagining what hands on your team made each dish, its really a beautiful thing, I just hope they got the chance to taste their hard work and have their fill.
Why not? My 7 times great grandparents did!
I wonder if they had any concept of electricity and the ability to power things. Similar to how we know eventually humans can harness geothermal energy from the Earth, we just don’t know how to do it yet
How did they get the salt and was it expensive?
Read or listen to the book “ one second after” and that will give you a good idea of how we would fare in modern times if we were knocked back to that era.
I would have gotten the rickets, I just know it.
Cheese, bread and beer is my favorite. 🧀🍺😀
Fishing didn’t exsist?
Potatoes truly are the king of nourishment
Your channel should be part of the American history curriculum in every school, world-wide. You are appreciated, sir 👏♥️🇺🇸
This sounds amazing! Not poor to me. haha Love the way time changes things.
Do they eat Treasure Insects?
As a child in 1980’s England pudding=dessert. It had nothing to do with jello pudding or figgy pudding. It was cake, cookies, pies and ice cream.
Sounds like it could be good, maybe make a roux with flour and white wine and use it to make crab cakes.
We have a restaurant three towns south that serves this as aside. Yesterday I made Coddle. Someday I'll really be getting my Irish on.
A sour environment and time helps enzymes process the anti-nutrients in whole grain bread, so that you don't get sick from the bread.
First Cow is a movie about two guys who steal milk from the only cow around (in the 1820’s) to make donuts. Great movie.
just stick it in beer batter and deep fry it with salt and it'll be instantly fixed.
Well if I recall john h8s shellfish
I needed to find this, finally I can get my suet fix without eating mealworms or sunflower seeds
*Warning: Do NOT watch this after appendectomy. Yeah you can technically eat it since your appetite is back, but better stick to non-fried for a couple of days.
I do be eating ice cream for lunch tbh
Cheesing-time sounds like my sort of party 🧀
Power over Spice is power over all
Wait, no nutmeg or did I miss that?
That title implies 90% of Europe is nobody....
Poor people 250 years ago ate twice as good as I do 😑
1709 the government(s possibly) set(s) a "WAR TIME OH MY GOD, WE GOTTA FIGHT THE BADGUYS"-tax for candles. They fight a while, a couple years but the tax keeps on going for 100 years..? Where have I ever seen this happen when governments push on who knows what tax in the shadow of a war or a pandemic or whatever and then just "forget" to stop that tax afterwards? Finland has had a "temporary" car tax for 80 years or so and counting..?
John flexing with four dessert's.
1:58 Cooked apple core acts as a laxative. Don't do that
Why do you give me Les Stroud vibes
"If one cares more for the cost of a flavor rather than the pleasure of that flavor then he is not a rich man, he is a wealthy fool." a quote from a very wise man. ME!
