A huge fan of "1776", which I saw onscreen when it first came out. It started a lifelong appreciation of John Adams, and, so I must stick up for my man a little. Yes, he was abrasive, often depressed, and extremely thin-skinned. But he was amazingly open-minded, foregoing the contemporary views of African-Americans and of Jews. He and Abigail also composed one of the most wonderful collections of letters in American history. One of my favorite examples of their relationship is his answer to a letter Abigail wrote: Abigail was extremely intelligent but not formally educated. Realizing she and her husband would be well-known, and their correspondence made public at some point, and ashamed of her writing style, she asked Adams to destroy all her letters to him. He replied: "The Conclusion of your Letter makes my Heart throb, more than a Cannonade would. You bid me burn your Letters. But I must forget you first."

Do you take suggestions? You did an episode on food that toppled a king, but there's one king who died literally directly due to food: King Adolf Frederick of Sweden was a famous glutton and died after consuming an enormous final meal in 1771, and his death is often attributed to Semla, a cream filled bun, which may have given him food poisoning And Henry the first died after a meal of lampreys. Could make a series of dishes that killed monarchs.

Cheesecloth was my thought when it came up as well. I think I may try this for our dinner Saturday.

That "drawn butter" is closer to what we would now call a bechamel, made with beurre manie rather than with a roux. And I would use cheesecloth to wrap it, since that may be closer to what Martha Washington had as mosquito netting. It would help hold the salmon together, and perhaps provide a little insulation from the bottom of the pan. Thus, a slight change of vocabulary brings the recipe right into the present.

The treats were served in medieval Great Britain during Allhallowtide (Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day) to carolers (called “soulers”), usually made up of children and the poor. In exchange for soul cakes, the carolers would say a prayer for the deceased relatives of the giver. The souling tradition died out in Britain in the 1930s (the 1300s to the 1930s is a pretty good run), but continues in Portugal and the Philippines and is credited with catalyzing Trick-or-Treating and Christmas Caroling.

When looking at the history of written recipes you find there are moments when somebody had to have the epiphany to write down specifics so that recipes could be replicated correctly by people reading them. Think things like specifying a tablespoon vs a heaping tablespoon, for example (or even what size is a tablespoon?) Given that the recipe Max used was printed in the later 1800s, this is when some of those things where being realized and incorporated more than before. It could've been from the original recipe if it really was one of Martha's but it could've also been a for the time modern inclusion. Much like how Max translates the recipes into temperatures for our ovens, since not everyone is Townsend's with a cooking fire nearby ;) In terms of dirty pots, hard to say for certain without seeing the context of the other recipes. But in cooking as a concept some sauces/gravies build upon the cooking of the protein of the meal to create. The leftover bits in the pan from cooking the meat are considered gold for those kinds of recipes. So it may have been a note not to make sure the pan hadn't been sitting out with rotted food in it for days on end (which wouldn't have been a thing for them anymore than it is for us), but rather to let the cook know to clean out anything cooked in the pan immediately before this recipe as they wouldn't be needing those leftover bits.

Yes, because I've definitely never used the same pan multiple times without cleaning it so i could reuse the oil and not have to clean a pan. that's defiantly not a thing I'd do...

Please write a book. A good Tasting History book. I would love to own one. Thank you for all you do. Your sincerity and warm personable attitude adds to the lessons. You have gold.

The cheese cloth/mosquito net method works with a tall pot and a cooking spoon. You suspend the fish or dumpling dough from the cooking spoon over flavored water and steam it.

Max, the next time " mosquito netting" bags are mentioned, reach for some cheesecloth. A few layers, cut to the same size, with the food contained within, a grocer's twine tied to close, should do the trick! It is cotton as well, so safe to use. Thanks for the great recipes, in the context of their history. Love the show!

I was thinking Hollandaise Sauce when you first read the recipe, lol. Hollandaise is quite good, so if this seems to be a lighter version of it, then you know it's going to taste delicious. It certainly looks delicious. The use of the net bag is interesting. I think a large percentage of people tend to believe that those in the past ate very bland food. I love how you are able to prove that idea wrong and, if I dare say so, I think they were far better cooks than we are today. Not only did they cook unusual and, sometimes questionable items, they also had to learn how to make them taste good. They were not afraid to eat the odd bits that we today would normally throw away. Those cooks of old really knew what they were doing in the kitchen. Waste not, want not. Thank you for sharing these culinary treasures and for teaching us about the histories of different foods. You'll be reaching 200,000 subs here soon. You deserve every one of them. ;)

It took decades for one of the giant sea turtles to get it's scientific name. Because in order to get that name, a specimen had to be brought to the UK to be examined, after which is would receive its name. Problem was, they were apparently so delicious, that no matter how many ships left where the turtles lived to head back home to the UK, stacked high with hundreds if not thousands of live turtles (they just stacked them on top of each other, must have been truly hellish for those magnificent, ancient creatures), by the time they reached UK shores, every single turtle had been eaten. There were none left to take to the scientists to get examined. Took years and years for someone to have the will power to actually be able to present one to the scientists. True story.

Turtle soup is delicious. It was very common before sea turtles became endangered and I enjoyed it a couple of times when I was young (in the 60s). A good responsible substitute is to use snapping turtles, which are common in many areas. We are able to legally catch them in Wisconsin, for instance. Bookbinder's restaurant, famous in Philadelphia from 1893 to 2009, and now open in Richmond, Virginia, is renowned for "snapper (snapping turtle) soup" and even sold it in cans for years. Mock turtle soup is also a pretty good substitute.

Turtle populations can't deal with it, it just takes too long for turtles to become mature. I was a bit confused, too, and after some references I ran into (I specialized in 19th century British lit fir my MA) it seems like it's a very acquired taste. Eaten by the poor, mostly in the new world, people who grew up with it liked it but everyone else thought it tasted like old feet. So best just not to start that all up again. Turtles are neat anyway, so we should help them survive.

I love seeing and hearing about what the people hundreds or thousands of years ago ate and drank. I remember back in middle school I was torn because part of me wanted to be a chef but the other part wanted to be an archeologist, the indecision always killed me but you just showed me that if I hadn't been so close-minded to the idea I could have been both. perhaps it's not too late perhaps after the pandemic I can go to college and major in anthropology, and perhaps go to a culinary school.

We typically don't eat meat but totally realize that meat was where it was at back then, so we're flexible. Keep making great shows; they're so much fun!
