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

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.

    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.

    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..?
