they had to preserve food somehow, its not like they had refrigerators back then :P...ice outside of winter was hard to come by and when it was available (ships hacking icebergs for valuable ice would often ship it for distribution, people had ice boxes but i reckon those came around a lot later, sometime in the 19th century) it was helluva expensive

I live in rural Virginia and it was common to do this to herring in a stoneware crock when I was a child, but it was done dry with salt and a little pepper and sugar. The herring weren't deboned. The salt almost disolved the bones. You ate bones and all. The fish would keep for a couple of years. You just soaked them in water prior to cooking to remove most of the salt and rolled them in corn meal and fried them. Nowadays, you can hardly find them.

Born and raised in Cajun country here The old folks put up salt pork. the first pigs were butchered at the first frost in late November. They used dry salt, letting it extract moisture from the meat to form the brine. After the brine submerged the meat, a layer of lard was used to cap the crock. When meat was taken out for use, the lard was remelted to cover the remainder. And they usually added copious amounts of red pepper - cayenne - with the salt.

the salted pork is particularly good...

Invasive species of feral hogs are a problem in Texas. Even with 2 freezers and giving it away to Charity it has become necessary to go Ol' School to not waste the meat from the kills. Salt breaks down the tissue and tenderize the meat. We use this method but cheat in a historical sense by an ice water brine in a Yeti cooler...fresh water rinse cycle before a bit of time in a smoker box on low heat before placing the toughest cuts in a keg with a bit of brown sugar with the salt. I recently got dentures and it's still tender enough for me to chew and delicious.

I was wondering, if applying the same techniques to a more modern packaging might work for basically indefinitely shelf-stable pork; -salt pork -vacumize -pasteurize (like sous-vide preparing a rare steak) After this, due to the vacumizing it should be safe from outside influences, and due to pasteurisation nothing internal should have stuck around. As this does to some extent cook the meat it may be a slightly different result (though I expect a small difference) , but I'm curious what the modern-day implications of something like that might be.

Excellent Explanation.... I've done that many times, as a boy on the Farm a Long time ago (with a Cherokee mother) when we would slaughter Hogs and Beef Cattle, salt up meat for the Smokehouse, Render Lard, and pickle the feet, tongue, etc....and as a living Historian. Great Story for those who have never done it!

My grandmother made this and much of the stuff you do. She lived the rural life and didn't get power until 1978. I spent many Summers with her and most of our days were spent revolving around food preparation, working in the garden, picking wild edibles and acquiring meat. The days were full, literally sun-up to sundown and you were too tired to be bored, get into trouble or develop bad habits. Due to the salt ( I suppose) she did die of hypertension at about 66 years old.

I am not sure what this "new evidence" is but high sodium intake is still identified as a primary cause of High Blood Pressure and Hypertension, I couldn't find anything that indicated high sugars are except when they are added into the overall weight gain component. Smaller veins and a sedentary lifestyle also are factors along with advancing age as well as increased weight. I don't know your father but if he is advancing in age and eating large amounts of carbs and sugars which are well known to cause weight gains the extra weight could be a major factor. Many high carb foods also have increased salt in them.The fact of the matter is we eat too much salt, use too much salt in food preparation and rely on it too much as a seasoning when there are many other seasonings to use.

I joined the Army in 2004 and served in Iraq from 2006-07. I also have been an avid back packer. And earned the rank of eagle scout in 1999, it feels like a life time ago.

My grandparents salted vegetables and fish and they both lived well into their 80s and 90s in age.

My great great grandmother passed down this recipe to draw out the salt. Soak your ham roast overnight (changing water twice). Place in roasting pan, cut grid on top. Put a clove in each cross, pack top with brown sugar. Pour beer over entire roast. Bake at medium heat. The beer and cloves react with the salt to draw it out and replace with brown sugar

You don't need to add water. A brine with form just from the moisture pulled from the meat. Adding diced garlic and onions, or other spices (pepper, chilies, pork spices...) will enhance the flavor.

My daddy always insists that salt pork was preserved pork fat. Reading about the Ingalls family eating it always turned my stomach a little because of that, though fat didn't make sense given the way Ma was able to cook with it. I'm so glad to see this video because it proves that it was just salted pork, nothing gross. I'm reading Little House in the Big Woods to my daughter so we're going to watch this video together today :) I just wish it showed the end result!

Tested it on myself and my sailor team, and it rocked! Now it was salty since cooking aboard a boat has to be done in short time and in rocky conditions so i could only squish in a few hours of soaking. Adding potatoes (unsalted) helps with the dish saltiness, we also added peppers and that was basically it. Great meal, and thanks for inspiration master Townsend!

Fascinating from start to finish! Especially enjoyed the tip about floating the egg to check the brine solution. Have always been so curious about salt pork and it's extensive usage, particularly on 17th and 18th century ships.

I’ve no idea why this showed up in my recommended videos but I’m glad it did. This was surprisingly fascinating and I’m going to watch more.

I study history at university, and I read a lot of books. However, media makes history come alive in ways that a book and the imagination cannot. When you see a historical film, or play a historical video game, you usually witness defining moments in history, battles, people dying for a greater cause. But you rarely stop to think about the day-to-day interactions of those that have come before us. I love this channel because it depicts the day-to-day life of people from the past. As historians, we usually consider the monumental events that shaped the world we know. But for the average person, their day-to-day life revolved around finding and preparing food. Thank you so much for these videos. I always look forward to your next update! Love from the UK

Hello! I have been watching this channel for awhile and I like it very much! I have never eaten salted pork like that (must make someday) but salted fish is done pretty much the same way still this day. I would very much like to see an episode of drying fish and how to use it, quite sure they did that too.

I always wonder how things stayed dry. I know it's less humid in the North but... Jamestown is in Virginia and it's like a tropical rainforest here in the summer sometimes! I'm sure it wasn't too much less humid a few hundred years ago... just wondering. thanks, Amanda

I always enjoy watching your videos. Very informative. Thank you. I've haven't been much into history. You make it worth while.

Great video, Mr. Townsend! As always, very tastefully done!!! Wish you could show another video about how to use the salted pork!

In Croatia (and I supposed the entire Ex-Yu area) we still have something like this. In winter when it's cold we get a pig and salt and smoke pretty much all of the meat and whatever we can use for eating. But the salting is much more intense, you manually fill up every crevice with salt and you apply it generously, the barrels are filled with salt as much as necessary. And the pieces stay there closed in cold for various time intervals before being hanged and smoked. Since it's winter and if you've done everything right, there's no chance of it going bad. This year we did it a couple weeks ago, and I know I'll be waiting for my bacon and sausages for at least a month. And btw I don't think we use hot water. The only meat I think we use salted water for is ham for Easter day. And that's only if you want to do it that way you don't really need to. And we don't do the "soak in fresh water to get the salt out" part.

How long does the meat actually last for even salted? Eventually it would still have to go bad

Not just the 18th, heck, here in Oswego NY, it's still standard fare, we even have church hosted salt pork dinners. Not to mention how vital salt pork was to the west.

It's a thing found all throughout history. I find it funny how he mentions the 18th century when it was common throughout 1000BC or earlier, right up to today. Maybe today it's more just a delicacy type thing, or an experiment, since salting for preservation isn't really needed anymore. But anytime before fridges were commonplace, salted meats were commonplace

Love this Channel! Thanks for your content

Great video. I like the way it went straight in. Great explanation.

Who dislikes these videos and why, this man is so chill.

Let's thank Binging with Babish for shouting out my boy Townsend on his LOTR special episode

I remembered watching this 8 years ago.... you made another video recently more updated. Loved both videos. Keep it up, i hope for more salted pork videos tbh.

i truly enjoy your videos keep up the outstanding work

Gimli from LOTR would love this/

Your cool man thanks for sharing with us :)

Just came by this on my homepage. This is amazing. Just subscribed. Please continue your work.

This is great! History and food, two things we love!

Gimli approves

Have a couple friends who do LARP so been sharing these with them. Subbed btw

This was the perfect follow up to the salt pork video you just put out. In that one we saw you pour some brine into the top of the barrel but you didn't say that's what you were doing, how much to use, or how strong the brine was. This earlier video answered all those questions. Very interesting info. Thanks!

Fantastic that Binging with Babish gave you a shout out. Two of my favorite channels!

Babish sent me.
