I'm so glad you put an explanation because I would have guessed an un-emptied chamber pot. We've found interesting things on our farm, too. We found a peg leg, a tree stump used as a slaughtering block with dried blood, numerous gardening tools and at least five broken umbrellas (it rains a lot in Asturias). No silver, though. Dan was funny about the mystery liquid. We rely on you, Meraid, to keep him safe. Clearly, his survival instincts need refining. ;-) Fun video! Saludos desde Asturias.

I think it is "aguamel" what you heve in the Nescafe jar. Something produced out of bees wax boiling in water. It's a sweetner with a very specific taste. I've been following you since you started your adventure in Portugal. Cary on and a happy new year.

Thank you. We both say we. You’re right. It’s kind of sweet 🥰

Hi there, my first thought when you opened up the 2nd jar that it looked like Moskonfyt (Moss Jam) Moskonfyt basically is a reduction of clean, fermenting grape must, it is a traditional syrup from the Western Cape region of South Africa. It was historically made from Muscat grapes (and the aromas and the tastes of the muscat in the syrup is certainly part of the tradition) but in recent years other varietals have also been used. The must is reduced overheat until it forms a glossy, sweet-sour fruity syrup. The making of Moskonfyt arrived in South Africa with the French Huguenots and is now a core taste building block for the sweet in the savoury flavour repertoire of the related but distinct Cape Dutch and Cape Malay fusion cuisines. Three common examples of usage are Smoor snoek (made with smoked or fresh snoek fish, potatoes, onions, and spices) which is often served with Moskonfyt on rice and poured over Mosbolletjie bread (which is itself leavened with grape must). Moskonfyt podding is a much-loved Cape treat. Few people still cook authentic Moskonfyt in South Africa, it being extremely time-consuming and labour intensive. It is also season bound - cooked from clean, fermenting grape juice only during harvest time in the Cape, February, and March. it cooks in the traditional way, outside over open wood fires. Wood is harvested from alien blue gum trees on the farm. Pour you must through a fine sieve or a cheesecloth, into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat and simmer gently until the must has reduced and has become syrupy. Remove from heat and taste; you may need to add a little bit of sugar if your grapes were not sweet enough and Pour into a sterilised glass container. Love you chanel Dee from Iceland

The very dark, slightly bitter ‘honey’ might be lime honey. Not citrus lime but from the beautiful fragrant blossom of the Lime tree (Linden tree) Apparently french bee keepers sometimes place hives in glades or avenues of lime trees in early summer for the bees to make this prized honey, known as miel de tilleul. I knew nothing about this until a few days ago, until I read the beautiful new book by Gabriel Hemery “The tree Almanac 2024” The lime tree is his tree of the month in June. The book includes so much more about natures seasons, wildlife at different times of the year etc it is fantastic for anyone intending to get back in touch with natures seasons and cycles. Love watching your joyful and down to earth videos!

The small jar looks like a beeswax-based home-made boot polish. I make my own and not too dissimilar in colour.

Make a lamp out out the headlight . Get a tripod for it. As for the syrup I'd add borax to it and make any bait if you have a problem with ants. The wax would be good to preserve wooden tools or old furniture mix with odourless turpentine and buff it into cleaned wood. Really enjoyed watching your videos gave me a chuckle on occasions.

In Portugal when farmers or anyone who has an allotment and have big crops of tomatoes 🍅 they make tomato jam to keep and eat throughout the year. One of the things they put in it is lemon peel.
