Neat video series from a store that I have bought from before.

Very interesting, I will have to try some of these.

It's interesting but three hour boiled meat in a cloth napkin and cloves *gag* in fried chicken didn't seem too appealing. I haven't watched the onion pie recipe yet. I may actually try the boiled napkin meat just to see the look on Mr. A's face when he comes home and I ask him to pull that rope out of the boiling water for his dinner - and don't forget to rinse it off so the napkin releases, lol. Oh, and there's an onion pie for dessert.
The vinegar/lemon/onions in the chicken marinade sounds really good, though.
Hahah, well, when you consider some of these old recipes, you realize why people were much more thin then.It's interesting but three hour boiled meat in a cloth napkin and cloves *gag* in fried chicken didn't seem too appealing.

Some, I'm sure, are quite nasty. Shipboard grub was especially noxious.
But I've tried some of these over the years, at various historical villages and pubs, and some are surprisingly rich and tasty.
I'm fairly certain a lot were good. I just got to thinking about trying the chicken (without the cloves*gag*) and then started thinking about what Mr A would say if he came home to a sack of boiled meat and an onion pie and started cracking myself up. Oh, and I almost forgot about the bread in the mud hut I built. His reaction would be priceless. He'd be very calm, talking to me like I'm a child saying things like, that's different and when I confessed I was just $#@!ing with him, he'd say, Thank God. After all these years, he still can't tell when I'm messing with him or it's just my crazy is showing.
I think his reaction would be even funnier if he walked into the backyard and caught you marching through mud pies to make it.
I would probably like that. I like sardines and anchovies. I'm not a picky eater. I would taste the other stuff, too.
Have you seen how Fish Sauce is made? It's nasty but I use it. I have some in my fridge right now.
How brave was the first person who made garum or fish sauce? Or the first person to taste Limburger cheese or even Blue Cheese (I love Blue Cheese but it smells nasty)? I think about those unsung heroes.
My stars have been taken away by a certain man who wanted to crush my joy .

That's what I was thinking it tasted like. I'm still traumatized by the "pudding" I got with my traditional English breakfast when I was traveling. That wasn't $#@!ing pudding, it was a blood clot. They served me a blood clot with unseasoned beans, over cooked eggs and Canadian bacon. o_O
I have done a lot of outdoor cooking. I think boiling meat for three hours would be kind of like crock pot roast beef. Cloves have antiseptic properties. I have cooked meat over hot coals under ground. Tender and tasty. Turkey on a tripod. My son in-law says it was the best turkey ever and he comes from a long line of noted southern and midwestern cooks.
Military on the march might not have had a lot of choices in their meat. It was whatever they could kill.

Ya , I skip the beans and blood clots and just go to the deli and get a slice of meat on bread to go with my coffee. Those people are barbarians , probably related to @Danke .

Yes. Danke's people are known for gross food and, unsurprisingly, he has done nothing.
Cool story-that's more commonly and properly known as "Bleu Cheese". "Blue" is just an Anglicization.

Yes. I know that. I wasn't raised in a Gottdam barn BUT I find saying Bleu Cheese pretentious. I prefer to say Blue Cheese.Cool story-that's more commonly and properly known as "Bleu Cheese". "Blue" is just an Anglicization.

First the white man took your land and now he takes your stars?
Are you going to do something about it or wait until he takes your air as well?
