Making Supper in 1820
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- It is a rainy spring day. Two longtime friends have stopped by for supper including a gentleman whom always bakes meat pies when he is here. His neighbors have also given him a plethora of surplus spring eggs. Today is full of chatter and cooking. The smell of cooked onions and beef is in the air.
Recipes:
Steak pie: into a pie shell put layers of beef steak chopped fine, butter, onions and flour. Add these layers until you have reached the top of your pie pan. Pour in cyder and cover with another pie crust. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours.
Stuffed eggs: boil eggs then allow to cool. Cut your eggs into halves and scoop out the yolks. Mash these yolks with salt and pepper. You may also add cream and mustard. Return the yolk mixture into the hollowed out egg white halves and serve cold.

Thank you everyone for your kindness & patience.
Spring has given us a surplus of eggs. Our friend's neighbor's hens are laying more than they can eat. I read that the ancient Romans made stuffed eggs using the yolks of boiled eggs mixed with salt, and pepper. This dish is becoming increasingly popular as are all things ancient Roman. They were amazing! I had 5 eggs that day and could hardly move after.
Our chickens are giving us 3-3 1/2 dozen a day so we’ve been giving them to our neighbors as well.
It's called deviled eggs (usually with some mustard and I think the Romans used mustard seeds)
About testing the freshness of eggs by floating them in water, if they float, they are old, but not necessarily bad enough to throw out. Old eggs make good hard-boiled eggs because it is generally easier to peel the shell off of them, as compared to new eggs.
@@charlottekey8856 But there's no spiciness to these, where deviled eggs have a bit of zing to them -- I make mine with diced onions, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mayo, and paprika on top. A lot of people down south here like relish, but... ick, no.
@KCK
My dear friend is a native of Chicago, and includes relish as part of the recipe. I'm not aware of her having any Southern family.
Really like how they sit around the kitchen drinking tea/coffee and talk with each other 💞🙏🏼🤗
These days and age, eating dinner is probably in front of TV, or using cellphones, or in front of computer games, instead of taking time to relax and enjoy family’s company.
My grandmother always had a wooden chair in her kitchen. She would sit to do prep work, or to take the load off her feet. That was back when kitchens were distinctly separate rooms from the rest of the house, so no dinette nearby to sit at. 100-40 years ago, now. Mom had one of the pullout step-ladder chairs in her kitchen, very popular in mid-1900’s.
Many families still do that today, it isn't rare.
@@kinndah2519 I think it's a dying habbit. But I hope I'm wrong and I'm glad you guys still doing it. It's a good time to catch up with each other and this strenghtens our bonds.
@@youxarexmyxsunshine sad but true.
I am so impressed how the food looks so incredibly delicious, and yet was prepared without the modern day conveniences
Why its food
That’s right!! 😍😍😍
It’s probably better!
@@KimFsharpHarp probably is! Lol
@@masterofpuppets5072 lol
Back in the day when neighbors knew everyone.Helped you out when you needed help.Not saying people all aren’t bad,but this day in age people keep to them selves, afraid you may say something,,, Love how nothing was rushed, now days you better hurry, or else. LoL. Love this channel.❤️
True
I like how Mrs. Stephenson is also taking part in making the dinner and helping her help. Very wholesome.
This was so pleasent and relaxing to watch. Gives the feeling you are there eating with them.
I would have loved to hear them chatting instead I got the music which drowned them out. In future could you have the people louder and the music as a muted background please
The music is nice however, as you said, it’s supposed to be ‘background music’, a lower volume would’ve been better.
Prefer the music.
@@personl7949 I like the people’s interaction and it’s nice to have soft music as background.
@@gemcatgirl yes i understand. 🙂
@@gemcatgirl I agree. I can't hear most of what they're saying.
A lot of work well rewarded. Looks delicious! I think families were closer before the arrival of so many conveniences.
Do you watch nutmeg tavern about 18th century life in dress up 🤭very interesting time period
@@rw3423 yes
Just so peaceful and relaxing. Love it
We enjoy listening in to normal every day chit chat, the volume is a bit to low but it makes it more real, not a scripted off putting play.
That pie looks so good I can smell it!!!!!!
You can't.
Make haste! Mr. Darcy is coming to supper!!!
So is Miss Darcy.....ME.🤭
...and he will be accompanied by his aunt...😲...😆
@@lisaparkhill682 Hello. How are you doing?
Oh how I loved watching how food was cooked over The range fire, I do remember after the war
And when as a child probably the 1950's my own
Grandmother had a Victorian Casr Iron Range in the kitchen area of house, i remember the hanging
Kettles and pots an the oven part. I remember the vendor surround over the red-tiled floor
An my cousin an myself as children would sit on floor an use fork to bread slices to toast
Ahhh happy memories, oh to mention i loved watching the man compile his ingredients
Taking his time to cut the steak an the onions plus adding cider to cook the meat pie
Oh soon delicious, thanks for the great historic scene of the bygone age really enjoyed.👏

Hello Mary Smith. How are you doing?
0:37 looks like it could be a painting by the American Neoclassicist painter Rembrandt Peale (legendary painter of George Washington)
That is so beautiful!!Thank you for sharing that, you have a very artistic perspective
People, we all need to go back. Look how serene this looks. Let's dare go away from fast food, pharmaceuticals and tabloids. Let's dare go back to sanity, to basic Goodness.,❤️💕
Sanity and basic goodness is still around. You don’t need to go far to find it either.
Let's not romanticize this. This recreation shows us the best, not the worst. The majority of people during this time were living in poverty in shit filled streets, struggling to even get one meal. While being surrounded by millions of other empoverished people in coal smog filled cities, thriving with deadly diseases with no cure. And even that one meal they struggled ould have usually been rotten and spoiled due to lack of refrigeration. If you were lucky enough to have a home you would walk home from your job at a factory or mill where you worked on starvation wages in dangerous conditions with no workers rights, and would have probably been abused or even sexually assaulted by your Forman. When you walked the streets filled with feces and smog, with the empoverished begging at your feet for even a crumb of bread, you would walk home to sit at your dinner table of rotten food and dirty water, and milk filled with lead; in a room of arsenic green wallpaper as the gaslights slowly suffocated you. You would go to bed cold and starving, with a husband who was just as if not more abusive than your Forman, and keep in mind at this time concent was hardly even considered. You as a woman would be property, as well as your children who were also working in EXTREEMLY unsafe conditions, whom you would almost never see. As a historian, I love the aesthetics and simplicity of this time; but I also promise you this: you WERE NOT born in the wrong generation, you would hardly survive a week in this time. Seriously, most people died at 35 if they didn't die at birth (3/5 children did). Be grateful for the time you live in, and support the historical aesthetics, not the values and reality.
@@judybage4083 Hello. How are you doing?
I can watch these forever!
Those steak pies look amazing! 🥩 🫓

@@scienspace7323 I think it probably came over from England.
The steak looked a bit frozen.
This is just delightful!
Hello Andrea Weber. How are you doing?
The conversations are sooo natural!!!
I would not have wasted so much of those onions. Veggies and such were so precious that every little scrap was used.
You assume that was waste, that could be their bucket for leavings.
We used that to slop the pigs.
@@teresayeates3437 Hello. How are you doing?
I love the table conversations and preparing this meal together
I love how natural they are!
Absolutely beautiful. I so much more prefer these old style kitchens to the new modern kitchen designs. People spend $30,00 on the perfect kitchen when they don't need all that.
I want to dine with you folks! Looks delicious and like you had a good time!
How are you doing 😊😊👋👋
The steak pies always look so good. Thanks for the video.
Hello Debbra Lehrman. How are you doing?

@@wilsonwalker1181 Hi Wilson, I live in Oklahoma.
Life in 1820 would necessarily be slow-paced--largely, because, well, there's less to DO by way of diversion. Most relations and friends lived close by. Most people lived their ENTIRE lives within 75 miles of where they were born 😲
True
There was plenty to do. Tending the garden, which everybody had to do if one wanted to eat, was an everyday job. Washing was every Monday and took all day. There was feeding the animals, milking, gathering eggs, getting water from the spring, chopping wood, building fires at 4 am, and hunting, and gathering wild onions and mushrooms, and canning and storing harvested produce for the winter, besides cooking and cleaning. There was sewing if you wanted clothing and quilting if you wanted blankets. There was cutting hay and storing it in the barn. Most people didn't have time for diversion, unless it was a church social, if there was a church to go to, or some other similar activity. Maybe a barn raising or a quilting bee.
I almost thought this was a video from Townsend's!
Townsends' and English Heritage's recipe videos are great.
@@jessicag630 Hello. How are you doing?
So calm🕊💕
Hello Angie Enthusiast. How are you doing?
The pies and eggs look very delicious.
Ahh, the great stone hearth, the heart of the early home.
Hello Kathryn Molesa. How are you doing?
Maybe not historically accurate but a better filling for the eggs: yolks, salt, pepper, finely diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and mayo (start off with just a little on the mayo and add gradually -- you can always add more but can't take it away if you add too much). Top with paprika.
Im About to try this, sounds amazing!
@@kinescope-zr8lh I think you'll love it. I make them basically twice a year, for Easter and Christmas. Maybe I'll start making them more often.
This is the way I make my "deviled eggs" too, but one must be careful with adding the apple cider vinegar....just a titch at a time because it's easy to get too much.
I wish life was like this again, The intimacy of friends and family working together, talking while creating a beautiful meal. A true blessing.
Well they are depicting 1820, I'm black, I wonder what I would have been doing at this time. 🤦♀️
@@Mehron74 Life similar to that way of living without slavery of course, just simpler, closer, I crave the intimacy of those days. Living off the land. Just so you know not everyone had slaves back then, Europe didn't, so, if you were black back then, living in Europe, you'd of most likely had a beautiful life, I I'm not sure why you felt the need to interject your race and situation into my comment but good luck with that, Today this s today, stop living in the past or you will remain there forever.
@@kimberlysteph3877 it’s ironic that you’re telling someone to stop living in the past while simultaneously making a comment about wishing things were like the past
What a gorgeous pastry on that pie.
Sometimes the volume is too low. Even at its highest setting, I could barely hear this one. And my hearing is fine. Still love them all.
Sorry about that it's just regular chitchat about our day and our lives. I promise to make it louder next time. Thank you so much for watching!
Yes; can't watch it. no subtitles either.
Yes! Too hard to understand 😪
Agreed! The music was way too loud!
@@sendieloo Hello. How are you doing?
The dinner plates pattern is called Blue Willow!I have that set!I love it
2:50 covering the pot w embers. i love cooking in a campfire! 😁🔥 1 thg i like doing is wrapping potatoes in foil, covering them w embers, & forgetting about them, until i smell them 😎 i never thought about doing that w a dutch oven! nice 😉
Evening...
This was absolutely wonderful, I'm so glad I've found you!
Now, I really need to know how that lovely steak pie was lifted from the Dutch oven?
Thank you, new subscriber...
That dinner looks delicious!
That steak pie looks great! I’ve got to try making that for myself one day.
So without cell phones people actually talked to each other ??? --- WOW !!!!
They work hard preparing the food and the result is so rewarding. It looks delicious.
Keep making these videos!! I love the Love story and other stories you do!! The actors are also great!! Great costumes and scenery. LOVE your channel!!! Where can I support you??
If the egg floats it's gone bad is a great tip. I have raised chickens, it takes quite a while for that to happen. Always good to be safe.
no weight problems in those days for the most part, even meal preparation was hard work
How are you doing 😊😊👋☺️
They ate simpler meals, did a lot of manual work and walked a lot too.
Also, the food industry was not adding chemicals and so forth to the food. That also has something to do with it.
Well, people had thyroid glands in those days too. Thyroid glands aren't a 20th-century invention.
@@ApartmentKing66: that’s funny! I suspect all that food additives, GMO products, and artificial colorants are affecting our immune system, which in turn goes and attack our thyroid.
This is what Hashimoto’s Thyroidism is all about. However, even with hypothyroidism we can loose weight.
Where can I find a house like this that hasn't been altered or trashed for sale? I love this kitchen!

I don't believe there was EVER a time where the man cooked and the lady got to sit down doing nothing !
Exactly….. this is weird. But interesting to see. Also the clothes were sooooo wrinkled, back in those days you wore clothes that were pressed immaculately.
@@RedRose-gm6px you’re right even in my time when I was in the twenties like some forty years ago.
Yes, you are right the women did al the work around the house.
Well my grandpa loved cooking , and he cooked on weekends, and invited friends, plus they had 8 children! My dad could also cook, but did not like doing it, he taught my mother all the dishes he liked. 😁
Men always cook in Mexico. Always!
Watching this, reminded me a long ,long time ago, in Madrid, spain , having stuffed eggs.
Thank's for the memories.

Hello Pillar Delaney. How are you doing?
why are the bottoms of the pies left without crust? Is it to avoid sogginess?
That's right.
@@EarlyAmerican what was the original historic receipt you used for the pies?

@@timbuk1126 Nice meeting you here. I'm from Washington DC but lives in Texas. What about you?
how LUCKY we are with electric power! i can see supper being a nearly all day affair to make, back then! and that didn't count breakfast and lunch! Housewives were badasses back then, and probably extremely busy! LOL
Most likely, a middle-class/upper-class house such as the one depicted here would have servants to lighten up the workload.
Cooking took the whole day !
Lots of work .
Looks delicious 😋
So cool I'm glad somebody still practices it
Hello Karen Lee. How are you doing?
I found this video very soothing!
Man wouldn’t it be nice if we can travel back time just for one day to visit people living in those eras! To see their living styles and how they do things. Maybe bring the future items to show them like cellphones, watch, etc.
The "Steak Pies" looked AMAZING!!!! I'm surprised they didn't have any vegetables though.
Me too - they had plenty of mushrooms growing for free! I would add mushrooms, definitely, and possibly carrots and/or parsnips. This looks interesting to try.
What a beautiful video 🙏 love from Scotland 🏴
Truly blessed with good health and wellness I wish I were there to try that 💕
What pretty eggs! and 0:35 looks like a painting
A bunch of cackling hens in the kitchen will never get old. 🐔🐔
I have to say I thought the women did all the work/cooking! It was nice to see the women sitting around chatting and drinking coffee?...and the man of the house doing most of the cooking !
I like the style in which this was done! Food tasted better cooked on a slow flame.back in those days stuff was all natural,better for you.I remember my first ice storme,it knocked old the electricy for a week.I cooked with a old wood stove the food was better.David back Menifee co.Kentucky. Like all of your videos!
Hello Rebecca Back. How are you doing?
Enjoyed the video very much...(series as well)...but I swear...If I had to cook dinner that way...I'd be starting at noon!

I always wanted to be a period actor growing up. But I realize that it may be somewhat unrealistic, as I am mixed and there aren't really many accounts of people who were like that back then. I just want to dress up in colonial clothing!!
Please do not let that stop you. You are beautiful and there were actually a lot of mixed race people back then. I'm of mixed race too (this is the maid Justine). I'm half Assyrian half German.

Looks like they're all unfamiliar with cooking, that pace they won't be serving many suppers!
It’s very nice to have the room available for preparing the food.

@@tariqali5213 it may seem like it, but people were just as cold bitter and jealous as they were today. To quote one of my favorate philisophers "times have changed, people haven't"
I enjoy deviled eggs myself, I just add mustard and mayo to the yolks. what I absolutely LOVE are pickled beet eggs (my mother was from southeastern Pennsylvania). Six hard boiled eggs, shelled, add sugar and white vinegar to taste to the canned beets and their juice, add the peeled hard boiled eggs and the hardest part is waiting 24 hours for them to get nice and red! I usually make them around Easter. Yummy!

Akhir - akhir ini aku sangat suka sekali menonton channel RUclips ini. aku suka sejarah. jadi, aku suka dengan suasananya sambil membayangkan aku berada di masa itu. sungguh sangat menyenangkan .
Love your videos! Helping me get through this whole year of no regency events. And giving me so many ideas for when reenactment events do hopefully start up again here.
Did the family not have a cook, or did the lady of the house always help with the cooking?
Slicing across the grain is the best way. Makes the meat easier to chew.
Makes me really thankful that I have a stove, microwave, rice cooker, big industrial mixer, toaster, Nesco roaster and pressure cooker! Also washer and dryer and dishwasher for when I need and of course, natural gas heating. electric lights and air conditioner.
Whilst i’m wishing to go off grid🧐
I would have liked to have seen them putting the pies in and taking them out of the dutch ovens.
What a fine table. We’ve lost so much.
This period recipe in full can also be found on Townsend and Sons. He has many 17th and 18th century recipes.
The food looks so good.
What amazes me is that one is not talking like a movie script with seasoned actors. Here you see real people probably talking like they did in the day. It’s haunting because they could be talking just about the same back then as we talk and act today. Granted the topic might be vastly different and or exactly the same.
I really like the cotton clothes . all the food looks so yummy . the meat pie is so yummy looking.
Hello how are you doing 😊☺️
I just encountered this channel yesterday and already watched few of their videos. Then I saw this one and clicked it. I was about to comment, why is it always the women preparing food?? Then I saw the guy cutting onions. Made me cry. 😂 Nevermind. Lol
(The lady just sitting there enjoying her tea/coffee) 😊
I love all the different colors

The food looks delicious, and the combed rectangular slipware dish the eggs are in is a beautiful piece of pottery!
You'r videos always make me happy..please keep going
Looks so tasty ! I like my deviled eggs with real mayo, diced sweet pickles, salt, pepper and a bit of pickle juice. Sprinkle stuffed eggs with paprika.
Here's a good tip for eggs, old ones are better for boiling because they separate from the shell more easily. ;) (the ones that stand on end but don't float) Loved this!
That meal looked delicious.
I adore this channel! Thank you!
The dishes are SO beautiful! 💕
@Subtle Nature my mother has them also ❤️
Seems so real ... not a reenactment.
