I will cook this too miss karen.but how long did you cook the duck? I like you karen... Keep posting..if you may❤

🍎 Karen and Bo, Fabulous, sunny, blue skies day! About potatoes: Little did Marie Antoinette and Queen Elanore know, in our century the variety of potatoes is a billon dollar industry. Especially her most famous words, let them eat cake! Their servants were only allowed to eat ground food and not any form of animal products like meat and deers and goats etc, especially the flying birds like ducks and quails because they ate the animals and had to hunt for them. Potatoes are one Africa's favorite dish which is ground food as they eat a variety of them since they were descendants of the slaves, and so kept the potatoes in their culture from one generation to the other. America has over 200 different varieties of potatoes. A variety are sold as you see in supermarkets. They're even tastier than regular potatoes as most of them has a touch of sweetness when you boil them or cook them just like regular potatoes. We especially love yuca, cassava, malanga, yams and sweet potatoes. They're especially high in starch and so you don't have to eat the animals like cows, pigs, goats, horses, deer, etc because they're very filling. They're cooked in a variety of ways, even using them like sweet potatoes for pies. In Central America there is a dish called Boil Up which is a variety of these potatoes with a sauce of tomatoes, garlic and onions put over them and eaten with boiled green, ripe and medium ripe plantain. That's why the festive dish is called Boil Up. They will also boil whatever fish they're having and add it to the Boil Up dish. Since we are vegetarians, we don't eat any animals, game or animal products. Vegetarians including us don't like any form of cooking oils like vegetable oil, coconut oil, olive oil, etc. Our body is not built like an engine that needs oil. We threw away all our oils in the garbage ten years ago, especially animal fats like lard and duck fat. It builds up in the body and shows in people's neck, arms, breasts, hips, stomach and that's what causes obesity. Since we threw away all our oils in the garbage except for a touch of cream butter in pastries, we lost 80 pounds literally, and had to buy a new wardrobe of clothes! Now if I can get my Danish husband to stop eating animals and flying birds, he can also get rid of all the excess fat on his body. He's very healthy, but still believes he has to eat animal products to be full. If the vegetation animals like cows and dinosaurs and elephants can live without meat or game, we as humans can eat much more fruits, vegetables, lots of different grains in breads and rice and especially the variety of potatoes. Got to go! Happy Fruity Summer!🌴

Im not a real foodie, but I liked this. Simple and with a pinch of history.

Your sand chateau needs to be a notecard of some kind!

You sure worked to make that drink! So glad you were happy with the result! Love your determination!

Very interesting. Cannot imagine how it is! Have to try it!! Funny watching the "kids" eat fast 🙂

Fantastic video!!!

You are a brave forager! So fun to watch you hunt down elderflower for lemonade! My friend in the Loire will often harvest them at their peak and freeze them in a large paper bag.....then you can process them when you have time! Bravo for you! Cheers!

Pigeon and dove were readily eaten but I don't think I could do it unless hungry with no alternative. I've eaten pheasant and was pleasantly surprised as it was wonderful.

Potato was introduced in France from Spain during the 16th century but it was not accepted broadly because it was feared to be toxic (it is when eaten raw). It was also thought to transmit leprosy to the point that, in 1748 its culture was forbidden in the north of France. It was Antoine Parmentier (of several recipes fame), a military pharmacist who convinced the king Louis XVI to promote potato. In 1786 he had some potatoes fields guarded by armed soldiers during the day but not at night. The neighbors thought it was an expensive delicious food reserved for nobles and came at night to steal them and finally it became very popular.

Interesting elderberry flower vlog

A fun dinner celebrating food history with your family 👏👏🥰

So glad to have watched this! As someone said earlier in the comments, this makes me want to plant an elder tree!

My sister in Denmark just finished making her elderberry juice.❤️Enjoyed seeing you continue this danish tradition.

I don't like duck but that looked delicious. ❤

The Duck looked very yummy i may have to try and find some duck to cook up .

I’d be interested in your opinion on taste, and I bet you’ll be ready next season, in advance. No drawn blood either. Very interesting, cheers.

Again another interesting vlog…I particularly enjoy duck and they looked quite plump unlike what we re offered in Scotland and as there’s so little eating on them we would nt have got enough for 6 portions. I would suggest that plastic gloves be worn when handling any animal , particularly foul and inside the animal for obvious reasons…just for safety.

Great Video always wanted to know if it tasted good i think we have a tree here down in the valley i have to go look next spring when all the flowers are out . Thank u .

I wish we had taste-o-vision! Your reaction priceless.😂

What a lovely meal for such a special family. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤

Your meal looked delicious! I appreciate the history lesson.

Love your story telling!

If you like cocktails we put it in gin and add tonic or vodka and add more lemonade just love it.....great job

Looks like a lovely dinner! You always do such a great job with the customers of the earlier times and the people who lived them ❤

😊 Nice video Karen, as all of your stories and tasks around the chateau😊 well done ❤ Greetings.😊

You're making me want to plant an elder tree in my yard here in Kentucky! I just might.

Karen, your persistence in everything you tackle is just beautiful! Love watching you videos 😍

Your doing great with the garden, it’s such a long learning curve, I’m still learning after 30 years. Hydrangeas take about 3 years before they take off, when they do, remember to cut back in spring when you see shoots/growth on stems. They can grow 3ft or more in one season. 🥰love what your doing, just enjoy it. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Good job!

Tiny tip: Next time, when your hand/fingers are inside a duck's cavity, do retrieve/pull out the solid white/yellowish duck fat. Put this fat in a little pot on the stove on a low heat and render the fat slowly. Filter, in e.g. a Melitta paper coffee filter placed in a filter holder, the hot liquid duck fat, and then store this precious stuff in a jar, which should be put in the fridge. Duck fat or goose fat is ideal for making delicious roast potatoes! Yummy!

Great content..I don’t make my own….but I always have elderflower cordial and elderflower and mint cordial in the house…absolutely love it

Delicious in a Hugo Spritz.

I make this every year. It’s the best! Try it as a drink - 4cl elderflower concentrated cordial 30cl prosecco or other bubbly 4cl freshly squeezed lemon juice Mint leaves Ice in glasses and serve immediately

In my region of Belgium, around Ghent they sella elderly flower flavoured wine; Roomer when i make elderflower syrup in alsu put cloves in it, which works together with the sugar as a preservative. it is also nice to give a classical (butter)cake some taste (replacing orangeblossom water)

Sounds refreshing, enjoy! 👩🏻‍🌾🧑‍🍳🍹🌞

Bonsoir, vous auriez pu faire des cailles aussi

Well done!!! I always have elderflower cordial in the house. It keeps well! I can recommend it. De-li-ci-ous!

Loved that, thanks Karen! Your enthusiasm for the drink was making me wish I was there! 😂

I didn't know you could make a drink from Elder berries. You were so patient to go to all the trouble to make just 3 bottles. Lol..lol.. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

I’ve had it in Czech Republic and yes, it’s delicious ❤ It’s a must each time we go in summer❤️ Thank you for sharing your recipe from your Mother in Law❤️

3:40 puddersukker is not icing sugar. Puddersukker is a sort of brown sugar

My grandmother took us kids around their 600 acres to look for elderflowers and berries. My mother-in-law my husband and grandkids would go around their 6000 acre farm to look for elderflower berries mushrooms and other things. It was great memories! Lots of love from Tennessee!!❤

Thistle weeds burn

Personally I think they are ugly sorry they look better without pollaring 😊

loved hearing about elderflower. I have bottle of St Germain. will check the label. enjoy your lemonade. 💗🍋

Thanks for teaching me how to make this treat, I knew of it, but didn't know how it was made. Awesome !

In germany they are holunderbeeren and you can take the whole flowercrowm dip it in batter amd depp fry 😊

You might wish to put netting around fruit trees when new fruit starts to appear. Being a farmer or growing your own, as in your case, is not easy. Persevere, I say! You are doing well.

When making breakfast for guests maybe you would like to make granola. It’s easy and keeps in the fridge as well as freezes. Easy to make and pull out for guests.
