Thanks for thinking of us, and get well!

Thank you for the page links.

Best wishes to you.

You were such an awesome contributor and host for this group. I was thrilled to see you posting during the primaries.

I can appreciate that health concerns have restricted your participation. Please be well and stop back often.

Those are very interesting. Thanks for sharing them. Good to see you here!

Thanks for the link!

but I like it so far! Great concept.

Converted my assistant and her husband and a few clients into fans.

And elated that Seasons 3 and 4 are going to happen!

I need to catch up!

Hope you will be enjoying good food soon.

That's very kind of you!

Thanks for sharing, it looks really interesting.

My nephew is very interested in camp life of Revolutionary War soldiers. He and I watch these videos frequently. AND we cook some of this stuff over a campfire.

Great thread

Camp cooking sounds like a lot of fun!

John Thorne (Outlaw Cook) wrote about building one years ago, and I've been dreaming of one ever since.

In the same spirit , The BBC produced a serie called "Supersizers go" and "Supersizers eat"

It is done in a funny way but instructive. The show is hosted by Giles Coren and Sue Perkins.

They explored the british culinary habits thru the centuries and the impact on health people of the diet from several era.

I can't imagine eating the heavy diet during the Restoration period. I think I'd have been killed off by it pretty quickly. I'd have thrived on the extremely Spartan WWII diet, one that's not far from how I eat now.

The whole series is at YouTube and is hilarious.

I have seen all episodes. I think there is a lot of eras which diet would have got rid of me

The WWII was an interesting diet, very healthy despite beeing very starchy. But very low fat and limited meat.

For me too, it is not very far from my habits.

and available online. http://www.medievalcookery.com/notes/ghj1596.txt It's used extensively to produce the cuisine in "Tales from the Green Valley," one of the BBC "farm series" that is online and probably the best of the lot. The participants all agreed that what they'd feared was going to be horrible, bland cooking without spices was, in fact, delicious, the interplay of sweet, bitter, sour, and savory compensating for the lack of things like pepper.

Online friends in the UK have managed to get their hands on hard copies of this one and have had a great deal of fun trying some of the recipes.

My own favorite was one I found back in New England at a flea market, a solidly Victorian book whose name I've mercifully forgotten and which recommended all vegetables be kept at a full boil for at least an hour to make them digestible. Some of the pastry recipes, however, were stellar.

I'm just crazy mad about cooking and baking. I like also to play with chocolate and sugar.

I will open soon a post to introduce myself to the group.

Victorian cooking at its best!

Thank you for sharing!

I'm usually over in GD and only just noticed this group. Let me provide some additions:

I am currently researching Serbian historical cuisine, they have great food, I recommend you try it.

That sounds yummy!

..i had them in RI when I visited during their huge Columbus Day celebration. The East coast celebrates a lot!

..the uncooked blood in the rawish middle is the salt....

As an avid YT watcher of historic foods, thanks for the links you post here. At potlucks I often get people to try it when I tell them it is a historic food from whatever time and place it comes from. Also they can be quite delicious, TY again
