    Hi I am Ann Reardon, How to Cook That is my youtube channel it is filled with crazy sweet creations made just for you. This week I am making a 200 year old dessert apple tart with strawberry ice-cream that has bugs in it to colour it red. It is amazing how they used to colour food in the older days and make ice-cream without a freezer! Can you imagine living in Victorian times making butter from cream every day? So much work to make one dessert. Join me for creative cakes, chocolate & desserts, new video every Friday.

    The one you have is a small paddle churn - that one is probably oak, but by the 1950s a glass jar with a paddle set into the lid was most common for household and small commercial use as it could be easily sterilised abd you could see when it was ready.

      Even back then there were a big variety of sizes of eggs with there being a variety of chicken breeds (why recipes both then and now might say "small" or "large" eggs) as far as I'm aware its less the size that has changed than the frequency of laying (we produce way more eggs way more frequently)

    • @helenanilsson5666
      @helenanilsson5666 3 года назад +45

      AFAIK, the size of chicken eggs tends to change by the age of the chicken as well. Baby hen's first egg will be small with relatively thick hard shell. Then as the hen grows older the eggs will be larger with thinner shells. A local egg farm that sells some of their eggs directly from an old barn sometimes offers the smallest eggs for free or a very reduced price, since they're too small even for the standard small size bought in stores.
      But the breed of the chicken is probably even more important in determining the egg size.

      @@helenanilsson5666 Another big factor is the hens diet. As someone who owns chickens, some things you feed them, can make the shells thicker, the yolks a different color, and more. The age also does matter like what you said, and of course the younger hens I own do lay smaller eggs. (In the present ofc, and not a long time ago) The breed is a giant factor to the eggs. The chickens that lay eggs for stores, are all bred to lay eggs really fast, and have a extremely short life span, because they don't want hens who have stopped laying. As for other breeds, they will lay less, but live longer and have bigger/smaller eggs.

Apparently horribly unethical and illegal in most places too.
      There's just no need for using palm civets or maggots in food production, we've got plenty of other ways to make things safely and legally. I guess some people like the thrill of the danger and price though.

      Nothing weird about it Cochineal/carmine is, to this day, a very common way to get red colour. It's commonly used in makeup products for red pigments and is often the main ingredient of red food dyes, especially organic ones. Only difference between this recipe and any contemporary one with red food dye is that someone has already processed the bugs for you.

Because when they said "some" sugar, you guessed a teaspoon(ish) and the author guessed a cup(ish). That would be so discouraging!!!

      John Townsend very specifically says that the size of eggs has not changed, but the frequency of egg laying has.

      @Heads Mess Modern chickens lay much more frequently than hens in history did. With factory farmed hens they may even lay more than one a day and it destroys their bodies.
      Also I wouldn't say farmers have to use artificial light to induce laying, they chose to rather than lose money on what is technically a seasonal item.

    I mean tbh eating bugs isn’t that big of a deal after overcoming the stigma. It’s protein rich, sustainable, and environmental friendly source of protein :)

      @Elisa Castro, No, not at all. Unless we're talking bugs that are poisonous or were actually picked off of some poo or trash, they aren't anywhere near as "disease ridden" as the animals we usually eat.
      As I've said here a few times, the taboo against bug-eating is cultural and has little to do with how healthy they are for you. People like you buying into the idea that nobody should ever willingly eat a bug contribute to that taboo staying alive.
      Especially in the case of bugs raised on a farm as a food source, it's perfectly safe to eat them. You're not gonna get sick unless you're allergic.

      I've eaten farmed crickets that were dried (farmed so no disease risk!) and they were super crunchy, fairly neutral in flavour but surprisingly moreish!
      Bugs are something we associate with bad things like rot and disease but I think we can get over that if we're assured they're safe like any other food (I mean, what is a mushroom but cultivated fungus!). Some bugs are used in medicine and can save limbs so that's pretty cool too!

    • @karmabeast

      @Elisa Castro It's just a tiny animal. Seriously - you have exactly the same safety concerns with preparing insects to be used as food as with preparing larger animals to be used as food.
