@@kcgunesq Sugar definitely didn't exist back then. This is a classic example of somebody swapping half the ingredients and then blaming the foul taste on the recipe. It's sad and disappointing that a professional chef at any skill level can make such a noob mistake. I wouldn't at all be surprised if this actually is similar to how the soup was made in 1821 but if so, it had been significantly altered over the centuries and that is something a pro really should understand. --- That being said, even if we could somehow reproduce the original recipe, there's still a chance it wouldn't taste very good to us. There are two reasons for this. One is that the taste and even textures of ingredients have changed a lot over the years. The chickens back then were of a completely different breed and they were raised and fed in a completely different way. Modern wine is very different from wine only a century or two ago. Same with all the other ingredients. The other reason is that taste is for the most part something we learn, not something we are born with. Something that is delicious to us may taste horrible to somebody who were born and raised in a different palce and time and vice versa. That's not because one is right and one is wrong, it's all subjective.

The result of the wine and almonds blended looked like heavy cream. Wild! I'm a history buff, so this was especially interesting. Thank you, chef.

Just randomly found your channel. From one (now retired) chef to another, cheers from across the pond. I had the chance to spend a couple years growing up in England.

Greetings from Canada! The soup is a very interesting combination of meat, nuts and spices. Also enjoyed the history lesson! Just a note on cloves...my heritage is Italian and we use cloves in our pasta sauces. Our meat sauce is made with beef, pork, sausage and tomato juice and the only other spice used is whole cloves. We also make a sauce with white tuna and tomato juice and, other than salt and pepper, whole cloves are the only spice added. Cloves are used to balance out the acidity instead of sugar.

Chef McGrady is one of my favorite KZread channels. He's funny and a good teacher.

Entertaining as always. The wine, the nuts and the strong spices were probably used to disguise the fact that meat didn't always taste so great before there was refrigeration.

@Etienne784

Жыл бұрын

In fact historical investigations carried out by medievalists show that medieval people had access to fresh meat. However due to the observance of religious restrictions on meat they probably ate less of it than what some of us consume nowadays. Spices though were for the most part very expensive as they weren't grown locally in Europe but imported/shipped from far away places such as Asia, the Middle East or North Africa. Thus spicing dishes was a display of wealth.

Loved the video and learning new history!

hahaha, great video chef! Love the call for the dog, hahaha

Love Mace use it quite often lol. I cooked some Stewart era recipes and sugar was used like a spice/seasoning esp with chicken and rabbit dishes. The almonds and wine blend just needs the sugar and mace added and then heated up reminds me of a 17th Century sauce. The taste is a bit strange for modern pallettes lol I think many of the dishes were very Mace heavy as most recipes called for either Mace or nutmeg or both esp in the 17th century.

My family still uses cloves! 😂 We put them in when we stew apples for anything. It's so yummy and a comfort food 🍎

Chances are during those times, the soup would have started in the morning time and tended over the wood stove (which also would add to the flavor) as it slowly simmered until serving, thus the pine nuts would have had time to melt into the soup

Fascinating! I'd love to try this.
