I take the parched corn grind it to a coarse flour and mix that with mushroom ketchup. It is an excellent addition to what you are eating. The indians took ground parched corn, boiled it in water and drank it as a tea. I like to drink the tea, then using the moist parched corn flour and mix that with barley flour to make biscuits. Wheat flour was sold for money so using the cheaper barley and ground into a flour by farmers mixed with the parched corn flour make an excellent servant bread to eat with your boil'd meat or soups.
Very well done! BTW -- field corn (NOT sweet corn, which is entirely different) is easily grown in a small garden - I've grown three varieties (Henry Moore, Krugs, and an Italian flint variety). Fun to make hominy (you can use wood ash lye, or purchase pickling lime), and I'll definitely try this with it as well! Fantastic video btw -- both in content and sound/videography/editing!
@@thedeerskindiary - BTW -- if you grow field corn, don't grow sweet corn near it -- they will cross pollinate and the kernels of each will pick up traits from the other (i.e. crunchy hard sweet corn, and soft, sweet field corn)
The indians used to drink 'corn tea'. Toasted and ground corn steeped in water. Quite tasty and the corn makes adds a sweetness to the tea.. When I finish my tea, I add a bit of flour to the wet corn, make them into small biscuits and cook them over the fire.
Stuck in a Canadian city, channels like yours , the Townsends , folk firearms collective and I love Muzzleloading are a Godsend. Thank you.

That sounds delicious.
Barley flour - servant bread. Barley would have been a family staple.
Its so cool to see your kids enjoying the type of life our ancestors did! Absolutely great content brother!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
My Dad just started harvesting his corn, I’m going to snag some for roasting to try this out in the fall. Great stuff.
I want to know how it turns out!
Fast food of the18th century… definitely going to give it a try.
The more I look at these pioneer channels, I really bet feast like Christmas etc were extra special.
Yes absolutely. I realize that I take a lot of simple things for granted today.
And yet another great episode ,l. Keep them coming, Anthony!
Thank you my friend.
Great video! I'm a big fan of pinole and atole. It's amazing how many historic corn based foods are still regularly consumed south of the border.
Great point!
Great information and thank you for highlighting a native food staple.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for spending the time to make this
Thanks for your support Mark.

This one came from West Historical. I don’t think they are around anymore though unfortunately.
Well done,sir.
Thank you my friend.
Do you have anything on pickled beef? Or any other ways to carry beef on the trail other then jerk?

I make Pemican and mix it with corn meal and make a mush.
That sounds great.

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I’ll have to try corn again this year in the garden if I can.

Hello, great video.
Which William Byrd II book are you quoting from? TY
The History of the Dividing Line as I recall.
