  • Deep fried mashed potato balls from 1822 and a slow roasted duck from 1823. These are real recipes (or receipts as they used to be called) from those who came before us. Let's recreate these dishes as they were made 200 years ago!

      I grew up in a Hungarian household and my grandma made a similar version of the 200 year old receipt for fried mashed potato balls using leftover mashed potatoes. Her version was "potato cakes". Instead of breading the outside, everything was mixed together and fried in a skillet. She mostly just used onion, salt & pepper and parsley for her version as far as seasoning, omitting the rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. And of course we had duck or goose depending on what my great-uncle was able to successfully hunt.

      Forgive me for asking but do you have any running water nearby-I guess what I’m asking is how do you wash your hands? Between the raw meat and eggs and just the mess of mixing butter with your hands or the potatoes, I keep wondering!
      Thanks.

    I love all your cooking videos! They are all so interesting to see and just fill me with joy. So thank you truly for making them! I rarely comment because I mostly don't know what to say exactly, but today's the day lol. It's very nice to see oftentimes the cooking being still very similar to a lot of the cooking of area where I come from (northern Italy), especially so for the choices in spices and herbs, even though now we obviously use modern appliances for it.
    Not sure if you would mind this, but growing up I would love to eat a very old, very simple winter soup my grandma would make. Her mother used to make it, and her grandma as well and so on; they were a farmers family and poor when my grandma was growing up as consequence of the second world war, so this is now associated with being a very poor meal. It's made with vegetable stock (beef or chicken stock is also okay, or a mix of veg/meat stock), savoy cabbage (cut roughly any way you like, just not shredded thin) and lastly rice. I always thought it was delicious since trying as a little child once and that's why during winters she often made it for me rather than for herself or my grandpa lol. Just thought you might like to try it, especially if having the time to make the stock yourself with varying veggies and/or bones, as I think it could have been a meal from the time and place you portray as well, though I'm not sure 100%. Regardless, thank you again!

    I can taste the duck as I watch this video. I started roasting duck two years ago. When done right, it's delicious. Makes a heck of a mess in the oven.... splattering this way and that... but I love the taste of potatoes and onions roasted in the duck fat at the bottom of the pan. As to your spreading butter with breadcrumbs at the outset, that is something I've never heard of....and will try. As always, nice to see the wood burning fire blazing away....

    The bread crumbs on a roasted duck is very intriguing. I might have to try that.
