Deer Stew & Crunchy Cheese Toast from 1814 |Historical Cooking| No Talking
This cheesy toast from 1814 will pair lovingly with a bowl of hot venison stew. "Roasted cheese" was such a popular dish in early America that you can find it in multiple cookbooks spanning over 40 years. I can see why. It's delicious! Thank you to our friends Anna & Ethan for kindly donating a piece of their hunt.

Make this at home and let me know how it turned out😊. An image of the original cheesy toast recipe published in 1814 (or receipt as they used to be called) can be found at the end of the video. This recipe was published in A New System of Domestic Cookery (New York). The recipes for the venison stew + cheesy toast can be found below. I made the venison stew using ingredients that were plausible in American cookery for the early 1800s. Add any modern spices and ingredients as you see fit (tomato paste would be a nice addition, just not period correct). Venison Stew, Justine's own Venison, 1 pound (I used a backstrap) Carrots, chopped, 2 cups worth Celery, chopped, 1 cup worth 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic Mushroom catsup, a generous dash Beef stock, 4 cups Rosemarry & thyme, a tablespoon of each fresh Salt & pepper to taste Butter, 2 tablespoons Melt your better in a hot, deep skillet. Add your venison, cut small, and stir frequently till seared. Remove from the skillet then add all of your vegetables. Cook for 5-10 minutes until soft. Once soft return your venison to the skillet as well as the herbs, salt & pepper, mushroom catsup and beef stock. Mix well. Cover then reduce your heat to simmer. Simmer for 1.5 hours. Be sure that you cook this low and slow. Take your stovetop down to its lowest setting for this. This tastes very good with bread on the side! 😁 "Roasted Cheese", 1814 Cheddar, Colby, Cheshire or Swiss Cheese, 0.5 cups more or less. Grated 2 boiled egg yolks 0.5 cups bread crumbs 6 ounces of softened butter 1 tablespoon of mustard Salt & pepper to taste 4 large slices of bread In a bowl combine your grated cheese, boiled yolks, bread crumbs, butter, mustard, salt & pepper. Mash them up into a smooth paste. Toast your sliced bread. Once toasted smear the prepared paste thickly over them. Cover with another plate or tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove the top lid and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and toasted.

In the original receipts it doesn’t say to boil the eggs. How did you know to do that?

@@amyramsay6633 It's weird but it's implied. Historical recipes are terribly vague. This is a popular one and has been shared and recreated many times, with the yolks being boiled in every adaption that I've seen. When it's boiled it becomes a paste. If it's raw it'll just become a goo that's hard to spread.

@@amyramsay6633 I would have also assumed to boil the eggs and use the cooked yolks because otherwise it would be raw and you really shouldn't eat 'pure' raw egg. The egg mixture reminds me of 'egg salad' on open faced bread, the only exception would be the 'toasting' applied to this recipe. It looks great, def want to try this both as is and with garlic... hoping it's as fantastic as it looks in the video.

Thank you for not talking. Thank you for letting the photography and sound tell the story!
We grew up eating venison, pheasant, bear … what could be shot or trapped, we ate it! That piece of venison that Justine cooked looked absolutely wonderful. I’d love to taste the stew!
The rabbit sure looked envious when you ate that carrot. Great looking stew and toast.
Hi!Nice to meet you!😊 Im Japanese. I became your fan after watching the cherry pie video you made! Im not very good at English, so I understand the recipe while translating it. I'm looking forward to it.❤
I've had deermeat before.and it was tasty! also Mishmish steals the show with his cuteness 🐱🖤
Wonderful....When I lived in the wilderness for 20 years, I mostly are venison. Still to this day, I love venison.
Justine, I could sit and watch you cook all day. It’s so peaceful and soothing. Watching you makes my troubles just disappear! Thank you for sharing 💜

Çok fazla ilkellik çağımızın şartlarında bana ürkütücü geliyor. Bu tarz yaşam stillerine sahip insanlar yobaz, barbar ya da gerici olabiliyorlar. ben pek emin olamadim.
I love watching you cook. You do it nice and slow..so everyone can get a good outlook on the prep of the foods..the cooking etc. And not to mention how adorable you are
OMG 😳🥕🥕🥕 did you grow those carrots?!!! I’ve never seen such long straight carrots before! You must have a great garden! 👨🏻🌾👩🏼🌾🧑🏼🌾
OMG everything looks delicious but I have to agree with some of the commentators that the bread is to die for. Peaceful ambiance. Kitty 🐈⬛ is so adorable ❤
I enjoyed watching the video, thank you for the video (Iran)
つまみ食いしちゃうとこ可愛すぎる💕雰囲気めっちゃ好き
Shouldn't have watched while hungry,lol. Looks good 👍
I absolutely love venison stew. I can smell it all the way from NY! Dinner looks delicious as always Justine 🌼
That loaf of bread looked heavenly 😩😩😩
Glad I’m not the only one who snacks a little while I cook lol
I’m a history and fashion history buff, so I love the attention to detail in the decor and clothing! I watch you guys every night before bed. 😊

I love watching Justine cook old fashioned and I don't like deer but it's amazing to watch her cook in a fireplace
I love all those relaxing cooking sounds.
Watching her again . I can’t get enough of these videos .
Expecting the mustard to pour out and then end up waiting on it had me laughing. Good one, Justine.
Your breathy giggles makes me smile every time I see a video. Favorite channel on KZread ❤

Aw, thank you!
Justine, I just have to say that when you ate the bite that was too hot, your expression was adorable! I LOVE your channel and love you, Ron, and little MishMish! Keep up the cooking!❤
That meal looks wonderful, that would be a great cool weather meal!
All your videos are relaxing to watch, but this one was something special because of all the different cutting noises. Loved loved it. ❤
The asmr, the little snacks of bread and cheese and eggs, the mustard taking a second to drop? chefs kiss. Amazing. Loved it
I can't express how much I relate to munching the ingredients whilst cooking dinner
Traditional, delicious meal, well done!😊😊
I love watching these videos before bed but man does it make me hungry! Everything looks so tasty!
It looks really tasteful. Love the fire cooking. The cat is so cute.😊
I honestly feel like this healed me ❤️ I’m so far from home and didn’t know what I needed to make me feel better. Turns out, it was this ❤️
I really love the olden days.
I can just imagine the smells!!! And the stew and the toast looks delicious. If I make the toast I’d have to leave out the mustard but for the rest I wouldn’t change a thing….now I want a bowl of that stew! Plus, I’ve had mushroom ketchup…it’s good!! Your reactions were cute too 😊
Your videos are always so cozy. I'm watching this eating my own dinner and it feels like going over to a friend's for supper
I love the sound of the frying pan when she adds the butter
I dont know how comfortable these dresses were for the ladies, but they looked so graceful and beautiful in these modest dresses.
Looks like a warm day for Justine! Thank you!
I am so making this when the weather turns cool, have some venison in the freezer. LOVE your cap!

Please do and I hope that you like it! Consider adding tomato paste for a more modern flavor (but it's great without it as well!). Thank you the cap is new ^_^
It all looks so delicious!!! Especially the bread!!! ❤
Hello, thank you for the video! The cook being allowed to snack on the food while preparing is very accurate :) You need the energy to make the food you'll eat later :D
That’s a beautiful meal! That deer meat looked so tender. Down here in Cajun country, (Louisiana) we love it.
Eating that bread and cheese is something I would do.
I love Justine's face! She's got that, "Oh, yeah! This is a winner!" look on it!
What a goodness, that sure looks good. Thank you.
love your videos. I can't imagine trying to cook over a fire like that. I burn stuff on a regular stove!
Thanks, Justine! You're such an accomplished cook & baker. That stew looks divine!
Looks so yum & naturally wholesome.
I ordered a ring cake pan (metal, with hole) from an online store today. 🍩These forms are quickly snapped up. I am very glad!
Such a beautiful scene you have set to prepare your meal, it is visually wonderful. I haven’t had venison stew in ages. It looks delicious! 🥰💕❤️👍👍
Looks yummy and easy.
Now this is exactly what I'll be making with those one too many bags of deer meat this hunting season. 🤗 And the toast sounds especially good, sounds similar in taste to a recipe I have for an Irish Rarebit or "Rabbit" which I find quite tasty, but along with mustard and cheese they add chopped pickles! 🥒🥒 Also, you look especially dollish tonight and it is quite sweet. 💖
Hey!!! You used your porrenger again! Perfect receptacle for that beautiful stew! I could almost taste it when you were eating 😋 it! Well done!
Cute cap Justine! That venison stew looks fantastic and that toast...outstanding!
I love watching your videos😁 it makes me want to travel back in time.
Looks SO delicious! Your videos are always gorgeously shot and beautiful! 💕
Love the theme love your kitchen love your food. Thank you for sharing your video.❤❤
That looks amazing! The bread looks ESPECIALLY delish!
Great video. Everything looked so delicious. I really want that toast, though. I am going to try to make it.
Miss Justine that’s a fine hardy meal for any working family ❤

Thank you so much for the video. It's very relaxing❤ It make me forget my trouble for a few minute
I love how good your food looks. We have nothing on the cooks in the early 1800's. They knew how to blend ingredients for flavor.
Looks delicious. Im hoping to try to make both recipes. Thanks for sharing. We watch all your videos.

Man I love deer stew! I remember my summers on the reservation my grama would make it.
That's a gorgeous meal.
You might like this one channel (can't remember if I recommended it or not already), but this channel Indoora World, is like ASMR cottage core type of slow living set up and something I've noticed is she does like little stories here and there but also cooks and uses recipes and things and the feel of it reminds me of your channel even though both are different and serve different purpose. You might like it.
Looks like a feast!! The toastie bread will go well with the stew. Blessings
Awesome, looks delicious 😋

My buddy who i served in the Air Force is a hunter and always gives me tons of venison and black bear meat. I have soo much venison that i will def try this out!

Don't cut off the root end of the onion until the very last. Your eyes won't water that way. My grandma taught me the trick and she worked as a cook in a great house. She would know!! We love your show, it's our bedtime story every night. Thanks.
All that hard work preparing dinner making her hungry.
