“I’m tired of fetching water from the stream RON!” I can imagine couple arguments in the 1800’s lol😂
My grandmother had a lazy susan on her kitchen table, it always had spring onions, radishes, fresh pickles , fresh mint or basil and a bowl of salt in the center. She never had cholesterol, sugar, heart or stomach issues.. There’s something to it❤❤❤
Nah, she probably ate a lot of fatty meat, bacon, butter, salt, and eggs... there'something to THAT! 👍🏼
Heredity plays a huge role in someone's health as well diseases that you might contract that can alter your health. [Lymes disease, COVID..]. You can eat as healthy as possible and STILL have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stomach issues... I am married to someone exactly like this. It's not fair, but it's reality. There are also people who have eaten bacon and eggs throughout their life, but are healthy as can be. Healthy eating is always a great idea, but it's no guarantee.
@@Heidishereandthere Put both of those together and you have a very typical pre-industrial diet for most of the world.
We had veggies on the table every night in the summer green onions raw, sliced cucumber, raw peppers, sliced tomatoes, cornbread and southern style green beans with ham, hock, and potatoes cooked in it. And cantaloupe or watermelon.
Green Onions and homemade Ranch is one of my fav snacks. So easy to grow as well as peppers in a garden :)
Yummy
Nothing wrong with a meal like that in 2024. Looks very good!
Nothing better than beans. cornbread. slaw and raw onion!! Sweet ice tea!!
Southern comfort 😁 I grew up in texas
Yum yum.
I absolutely adore your connection with your audience. I love everything historical. My 13 year old always teases me and calls me a nerd. I feel the love that radiates from your channel ❤😊
Love green onions dipped in salt. You eat the white part.
That’s how we ate them, I think it decreased the “burn”.
the only way to eat spring onions other than putting them in food. I recommend it with a type of thick bacon like meat, not the sliced one. And salty white cheese.
I eat the green & white part usually sliced up in soup etc
Ron you never fail to crack me up (chewing the oatmeal cake) on most every episode.😂
Processing grains for market is complicated and labor intensive. Even today, we use combine harvesters that are seriously expensive. First they grew it, then they prayed ; ), then they cut it with a "cradle" and placed it into bundles capping it with straw, they let it dry, then they gathered it all and brought it to the threshing floor, threshed it by hand with a flail, gathered the seed and winnowed it to get rid of the chaff, then put it in sacks, weighed it, and brought it to market. Whew. That's why it was so much more expensive than other items on your list.
I cannot wait to see how you decorate your new home!!!
Eastern european here. I only eat green onion raw. And I love raw radishes lol
I'm 65 and grew up eating raw onions, and radishes, tomatoes, celery ,cucumbers with most meals. Kinda considered a salad.
I grow green beans in the garden and they often don’t make it to be cooked I like it! My mom used to make raw yellow onion sandwiches, we ate green onions, too. Love raw radishes, asparagus, corn, cucumbers and spinach from the garden, too.
We always called the raw vegetables the relish tray.
My great grandmother - who lived to be 104 - did just exactly that.
My father would eat spring onions standing in the garden….one time we went to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum and were in the theater to watch a movie called “To Fly”. My Dad had eaten some spring onions out of the picnic cooler in the trunk of the car before going in the Smithsonian. The first scene in the movie was a hot air balloon 🎈 going over a mountain 🏔️ and the woman behind us said. “This movie is so realistic I can smell the wild onions!” 😂😂😂. It was my Dad’s breath!!
😂
😂😂😂
@ettlavergne3410. Thanks for the great story! Laughed all the way thru!!
😂
That's hilarious 😂
When I was growing up, my mom always had green onions and cornbread on the table with her pinto beans. Whenever she had turnip greens or kale greens, she would put them on a dinner plate and slice hard boiled eggs on top of them. That’s how she served them
I was raised in the south and I was raised to eat a green onion on the side with a lot of different type of dishes. It wasn't until I was an adult that I was able to do it but I was a young adult and I've continued to enjoy it until now. You choose the dish that you eat it with. It's particularly good with fried chicken, fresh ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and southern greens.
😊 if you were really hungry like back in the olden days. You would eat anything. I think the eggs and oatmeal pudding don’t sound too bad. When you compare it with having to eat bugs, snakes, rats, etc..
Ron was making me laugh so much 🤣 😂 smacking that pudding with a spoon 😅😊 glad you are on sundays!! Have a great rest of the week.
Grain processing became less expensive because of the industrial revolution.
I agree. And I think better transportation made things cheaper.
My late husband and I used to attend the rendezvous at Williams AZ, in Northern Arizona in the summer. We stopped attending when we left the area for work.
I heard the event was stopped few years ago when city youth attendees brought modern ideas with them and changed the historic culture.
Like it or not, you’d eat it after a hard days work and because it’s all there’d be for dinner lol
Not unless you go out and shoot your dinner. They did it on the prairie!
Meat, bacon, butter and eggs.👍🏼
I wish this was longer. I could listen to you guys all day. 😊
My Mom loved green onions, but ate the bulb part. It looked so funny, you 2 taking chomps from the other end.😂
We eat the white bulb part of green onions, not much of the greens….
I agree with Ron about the radishes, BUT if you roast them with some oil, salt and pepper, they are SO good!
😮
My grandma's favorite sandwich was bread and butter with green onions. We always had some raw onions chopped, served in a bowl on the table - great with beans and cornbread.
Yum! I love onions raw and cooked.
We love Vedalia onion sandwiches, sweet, no burn or tears
If you like grilled cheese, it’s good with a slice of Vidalia onion. Those onions can only be grown in the Vidalia, Ga area. Something about the ph in their soil. I currently have one in the fridge that I eat with whatever I feel like. I put some in a salad for lunch today. I live in the Augusta area.
Yes!!! Ron!!! Radishes taste like dirt to me too!!! I thought I was the only one! Team "Radishes taste like dirt!" 😂😂😂
No! Earthy!
This week I decided to try to make something new. I shredded zucchini & carrots mixed them together with butter, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla extract,, cinnamon, yogurt and raisins. Baked it in a loaf pan for 50 mins @ 350°. It came out as a bread pudding. It was tasty and different. Not what I would want for a regular treat but I think it must be healthy. 🤗👍
you are supposed to cut the root end, then dab that end into a bit of salt and eat the bulb end. you don't really eat the green bits.
That’s cute funny. We would put a little mound of salt on the plate for dipping the green onions. Not the green part.
@@michaelweeks2973 yes, this, you described it better than I did!
Why not eat thr green?
Sunday love to you both! FYI -Independence Hall in Philadelphia is looking for docents to give tours. That's right up my alley & I have the costume! You two would knock that out of park. I return to NJ August 17th & will apply. You two are such an inspiration!❤😊
We usually cut the small,roots off and eat the white end first.😃
Thanks for the fun, Justine and Ron! Always a treat. Love the cabin but cannot wait to see the house. I hope we have a cooler harvest season. Be blessed sweet friends! xoxo
We used to dip our green onion in salt when I was a kid. And dip.
I grew up eating green onions dipped i salt, too
Thank you for the beautiful prayers at each meal ❤
Also my daughter cooks radishes in a pot on stove with butter 🧈 till tender..radishes become sweet!
I was born in 1950 and all the grown ups ate raw spring onions with their beans. So this tradition continued way into the mid century. Radishes were often on the table too. Sounds good to me. The onions and radishes were the first things to come up in the spring after a long winter without fresh garden produce so I think this had something to do with eating them raw.
I adore green onions and radishes! As well as red bell peppers and cucumbers. I dont think I have ever laughed so hard during a chew n chst as I did today at Rons suggestion of a Fart Club! Omg! I personally think I will join Justine for tea. Thank you for the laugh.
We had a jar with green onions in water on the table every meal, growing up
Now as an adult I've learned raw onions are good for you they have antioxidants, vitamin k, they're good for inflammation, boost your immune system and may have cancer fighting properties, Maybe Old Timers weren't so weird lol 🤷🏻♀️
Now I don't have a jar of onions on the table every meal, because I just don't like them like that but I do incorporate them and my food a lot more.
I found a 4-inch Mushroom in my yard this morning. Had ants on it so it's probably not poisonous, I looked it up and it's a common Mushroom in my area. Friends of mine saying OMG you're not going to eat that! you just picked it out of your yard it's not store-bought🤦🏻♀️( I didn't die and I'm not hallucinating... yet 😂)
I look forward to your videos whenever you put them out 🤗
I was cracking up when you talked about the fart clubs. I've always enjoyed historical essays and literature. In my high school library we had a reprint of Benjamin Franklin's essays and in it he wrote about how to woo a lady through your back end. You eat various rose petals or floral flavored foods before visiting so when you bowed to M' Lady you could perfume the air for her with her favorite scent! Mine would be candied violets!😄
Ron's face with the oatmeal pudding! Priceless!!!
Love your Chew & Chats! My grandma always had spring onions in cold water on the dinner table, with the root sliced off. We dipped them in salt and only ate the white part. Good memories! ❤
Ron - that's a great point. In an era were moving things was more expensive and many things didn't keep as well (one of the main factors) it would be cool to see the prices of different items threw the ages, because in modern times there may be little different for an item, were that same item back then in the same part of the world may be far more expensive in one location than another. It makes sense that the price of things would go down and down with events of the day, but eventually as America developed the price of things go down.
The look on Ron’s face when he ate the oat cake 😂
Green onion was my very first table food. My momma said I was watching my Granma eat it and I screamed and cried for it until she gave it to me. I love them still today! ❤
In addition to the harvesting costs oatmeal had to be cut into the flaked form.
We enjoy watching you guys.
Sorry Ron I'm team Justine. i love the idea of sleeping couches, drinking tea and reading poetry. i have 5 brothers so i already know what your tent is going to smell like LOL.
Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.
Spring onions and radishes are delicious! Especially when dipped in a bit of salt
I know that this will be a very interesting video as usual! Me and my wife cannot wait for the next episode! David and Rebecca Back.
I grew up eating green onions with my beans, fried potatoes, and cornbread. So good😋
People today just don't realize that people back then would starve! If you google, for example, the county history of someplace in Iowa, the early pioneers had to go 25-30 miles or more sometimes just to grind their grain. Times were so lean, they were grateful for that oatmeal boiled with eggs. Aren't we lucky that today we have a Chick Fil A on every corner? (I'm saying that only part seriously, sometimes I wonder about that...)
Hey ya'll, I'll finally made it. I love it on Sunday. I bet it was 120 degrees in the cabin. I absolutely love what you do and can't wait to see what the new place is gonna be like. ❤❤❤❤❤
Spring onions are growing and thriving in my garden for the last 2 years. They are tolerating Georgia's summer quite well. I just took a cutting from my patch to make my quesadillas.
The people who ate onions were probably healthier than the ones who made fun of their onion breath.
I had a lady cleaning for me who was Ukrainian. Whenever anyone mentioned they had the sniffles, she would ask for a raw onion or garlic and eat it on the spot. Don‘t think she ever had a cold….!
I would definitely pass on the "_art" Club; but the tea, cookie ladies party sounds great!
Yup-I’m 70 and LOVE onion on butter bread. 😊
My grandma, born in 1930 and lived in oklahoma, frequently ate a green onion with her meal. We come from poor farming Americans so it’s really cool to see that this meal habit was passed down for hundreds of years before it reached her. Ive tried it and liked it ok, but i prefer red onions :)
You two are hilarious! I love your content
I bet the oatmeal pudding would be great if you sliced it and fried it up in a skillet with some bacon.
That episode was hilarious! Thanks for all the laughs. !
The meal today looked absolutely scrumptious! I'm looking forward to watching you two review it and to chatting with everybody again after these last couple months! It's great to be back! 😃
Spring onions served with beans was in my childhood home as my mother was raised on an Appalachian farm and raw vegetables were served alongside cooked in almost every meal
I love onions raw sliced in a salad 🥗 and cooked .I haven’t been able to bite into a whole onion 🧅 as an apple but that’s pretty neat if you can .
Your table looks new.
Rsw onions have medicinal properties lol, my Grampy used to sit by the gsrden and I'd pick us a sweet onion or vidalia onion and we'd eat it with saltines, sardines and in the Fall, berries or apples. I'd take a big paper bag out through the woods to the back garden and fill it with spinach and whatever my Grammy wanted to add to supper.
Everything looked delicious 😊.. eating raw onions or cooked helps sorb bacteria from colds and flu symptoms out your bodies.. eating em couple times a week fights off getting sick.. thank u for sharing and the flowers were gorgeous
Try grits and eggs!
I’m thirty years older than you Al and my mom was closer to your granny’s age. We always had radish and spring onions on the table, couldn’t eat them then or now
OMG Ron, I agree, radishes and beets taste like dirt to me too. My mom never understood this and I’m glad someone besides me thinks that too.
I wonder if it’s kind of like the way cilantro tastes like soap to some people. Maybe something in your genetic makeup. I love cilantro but rosemary tastes like soap to me.
Love your channel guys, your so funny and down to earth, 😂
Love love love your channel and all your delicious food that you make.Keep it up girl.I want to live exactly how you guys renact on your channel and I think we need to go back to these times when people had a purpose and where kind to each other and minded there own damn buisness.
I purchase 3 or 4 bunches of green onions, wash them up, slice them up, and put them in a container, and freeze them. Then they can be used whenever.
"Combine them all in one ..... SMART" 😂 love Justine!!
I love your blue vase. Just purchased one at GW
You guys are still awesome no matter what day it is!!
Interesting. I enjoyed your hysterical conversations. 😍 Gotta say that I’d pass on Ron’s club (no pun intended). Glad to hear you talk about the Rendezvous. Definitely a fun reenactment experience visiting different encampments and merchants’/sutlers’ row❣️👍
We often have beans and cornbread for supper. I love it.
Try the spring “green” onions the way we ate them. Place a spoon and put a little salt in it. Then, dip the white end into the salt and take a bite. Then proceed down to the green part. That’s how we ate spring onions. It also would be an “accompanying bite”, i.e. a bite of onion then a spoon full of something. I grew up in an Italian household so that would be polenta or pasta. I would bet that would be a more palatable way to consume them rather than the way you did.
You all make me laugh. Thank you. I love watching you both. Lol! I love radishes, but they don't like me.😂😂😂
My uncle used to eat cheese and Spanish onion sandwiches. The bread and beans look good and they’re very good for you. Thank you for another interesting chew and chat.
Sunday is a great day to do new videos ❤. For me in Germany everything is closed on Sundays only gas stations and restaurants with the special license are opean ❤ this gives me something to look forward too ❤
Was "scrapple" a poor, middling, or high falutin' dish? The only store in town that had it is closed now.
Probably poor to middling. It was a way for farmers to use meat leftover from butchering a pig that wasn't suitable to be sold, as a way to avoid waste and use every bit or scrap of the animal.
Trim the root and dip end in salt to eat. Ate them fresh from grandma's garden growing up along with my favorite carrots, radishes and a bounty of other veggies and fruits
Ron I think it would be a riot! Justine a tea party sounds like a great idea! Cookies, sponge cake maybe and small tarts too.
Love the numbers! Facinating that the game is still on ;)
It's always such a pleasure to watch you guys. It surprised me when you said that you've never eaten a green onion by itself. We had a garden so they were almost every day common.
My Mama always put a few on my plate with a bit of salt. It was the only way she could get me to eat onions. Once I got older and figured out they were the same thing as big onions, there wasn't a thing she could do to get me to eat green onions again. lol She was the most patient Mama you could be blessed with.
The fried oatmeal pudding should be eaten hot off the groll, with butter, s&p, and you can even add honey, syrup, or preserves,, but I like with just butter, s&p!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ron, you are a hoot! Or is that a toot!? 😂😂😂. Enjoyed the video!
One of the reasons oats might have been more expensive than other types of grain is because it was not widely grown in America. It mainly used as feed for livestock. Farmers preferred to grow wheat, rice, and other grains because they were more widely consumed and netted more profits.
We used to dip the green onion in salt. Also salt the radish before you eat it.
Love seeing your videos! Ron are you feeling ok? I know y'all are uber busy. Take care of yourselves and get some rest. ❤
🤣☺ raw onions mothers over 50 I'm over 50, a mom, and have to say I could never do it but I thoroughly enjoy you both doing it and watching all of your wonderful videos thanks! I'd be attending the tea party poetry club!
18:48 - "Boy you wrong!" 😂 Oh Justine, you make me laugh.
I love history! Keep reading
My dad loved spring onions. He dipped them in salt. He was born in 1936.
I grew up eating green onions with my meal. Love it. I still eat it. I put a little pile of salt on side of plate and dip my onion in the sea salt. SO much better with the salt. You should try it. Mmmm love it. I hope you try it again and grow to love it. Yes I usually take a bite of my food with it.
Lmao Justine you cracked me up describing the feel of the pudding 😂😂
Onion and salt. So good . Onions and radishes are nearly the first veggies ready in the spring. I am always so glad when they are ready! Usually only take about 30!days from planting to be ready. I think cornmeal was much more commonly used on the frontier than oatmeal.
Re: the "fart club". A couple of boys who rode the bus when we were in school got a huge kick out of ingesting powered sulphur in the evening then sitting in the seat over the bus heater on the way to school the next morning. Needless to say, the rest of us passengers suffered for it😂.
The first re-enactment I can think of was in ancient Rome when the Coliseum first opened in 80 AD; the amphitheater was flooded and a naval battle between Athens and Syracuse was re-enacted as part to the opening 100 days of games.
Looks like fun to be able to throw food you don't like out the window 😂❤
