I toured a cacao farm in Belize in 2019. The cacao pods are the size of a papaya. The farmer broke one open on a rock and the beans inside are about an inch long contained in a white skin. The farmer told us to pop the raw bean in our mouths because they taste like fruit. It tasted like mango. Later he and his family showed us how they process the beans to make chocolate in the traditional Mayan way. It was a very interesting tour.
@@knothead35 I was surprised too! Another factoid is this farmer also grew Allspice and Arabic coffee. Chew the allspice leaf and it numbs your mouth...then the Mayan dentist can perform procedures like pulling a decayed tooth. Allspice leaves we're also used in wraps of injured extremities to dull the pain.
I grew up on a farm and my grandma wouldn't tolerate an aggressive rooster. The best thing you can do, before one of you gets really hurt, is to either get rid of him or make chicken and dumplings! The dish of oatmeal with the darker chocolate eventually evolved into no bake or what we in North Carolina call preacher cookies!
Our neighbors had an aggressive rooster that would come running over to attack us. We called it the velosirooster. He disappeared into a cooking pot eventually.
The wooden utensil used to froth up the hot chocolate is called a molinillo and is available online from Walmart & Amazon. In Texas & Mexico, we still use this utensil.
I love watching you guys! Mishmish turning up on time was awesome 😁 All history is so interesting, and I love your humour and recipes. Watching you cook them is very relaxing, and your chats are very entertaining 😊. Greetings from New Zealand
Chocolate first arrived in Florida on a Spanish ship in 1641, and it's thought the first American chocolate house opened in Boston in 1682. By the late 1770s, cacao beans were a major import into American colonies, and were enjoyed by every class.May 24, 2021. I am a big Historian, I love Histoy. Love your channel God Bless.
Thanks for the shout out to Salem. Now you really have to come and visit! Just avoid October! My "house panther", Ernie, was shipped up from Mississippi to the Salem shelter. He was destined to be a Salem Black Cat!
Yep, time for the rooster to be made into soup! When I was three, visiting my great grandmother on the family farm in Ohio, I was attacked by a rooster, we had him for dinner that night!
Perhaps the stronger oatmeal could be used as a dessert! 😋 Also, we had a mean rooster. Our vet said once a rooster acts like that, it's time for it to go. There is no effective remediation.
@@frontierpatriot I am so glad Justie was not injured worse. Roosters go for the eyes with their talons. I am glad he did not make it that high. you can get ahold of him safely at night, then put him in a small cage to better handle him during daylight
The very chocolatey oatmeal is almost the same consistency as no-bake cookies (melted chocolate, sugar, oatmeal & coconut and sometimes peanut butter) before they set...thick and gooey.
Dear Justine and Ron, My father had a rooster that attacked a child. Dad jumped up, turned the rooster upside down and removed his spurs with a pair of wire cutters. He returned to his cudlley sweet self. (The rooster, not Dad)Since that was his first attempted crime, he was spared the ax. I don't think your rooster is sweet and this is not his first crime. Yes! I vote for chicken and dumplings tonight. Cee, from the little haunted cottage in ireland 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀
I live in Florida and I grow cacao. The beans are approximately half an inch wide and 1 inch long. By the way, if you boil the meat for 20 minutes prior to baking it you can make that rooster into a great pot roast lol.
Great to have you both back healthy and well! Great video on our favorite sweet ingredient... chocolate 😋. Just fyi...since you asked... From Google: A ripe cocoa fruit may contain 20 to 75 cocoa beans, each . A fruit is 5-5 1.5 inches long and encased in a white pulp. Beans are roughly 50% fat and 25% carbohydrate. Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed the taste! We should bring back Chocolate Houses ... great idea.😊😋
I'm a southern girl and chocolate gravy (think hot chocolate sauce not country gravy) was something of a breakfast treat growing up. We ate it as breakfast "dessert" over hot a biscuit vs jam & butter on a biscuit. My grandfather loved oatmeal and he would sometimes put chocolate gravy over his cooked oatmeal. I'm in my mid 50's soooo while as a kid I thought he was trying to invent something new but apparently he was eating the food of his ancestors! 😂 His concoction looked a bit like a combination of your 2 chocolate oatmeals. Pretty cool! Gosh how I wish he was still alive so I could tell him about this! ❤️
My grandma called it cocoa gravy. This recipe started out in Eastern Tennessee, Eastern Kentucky. Since most of Missouri was settled by people from this area, it's not uncommon for someone Grandma to have introduced this to them. Ron I would submit that your granny has some Appalachian roots.
Welcome back! You were missed. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed another video as much as this one. I laughed all the way thru it. You two are comedic historians. And what a shame our young people don’t get to learn this way. I feel that thick chocolate is meant for desert. I think the more milky, is the right choice for the oatmeal. Oh Justine., I’m pretty sure they still make cocoa wheats, puffs, and cocoa pebbles.( rice). The milk you add makes chocolate milk. Nothing like letting our kids wash down a sugary breakfast than w/ instant chocolate milk. He he. Oh? Are there humane societies for roosters. Also the sun hit your cats’s fur while she was in the window sill and her fur looked blue. Pretty nice cat. So loving.
Oh, tragedy. One day, without warning, it became impossible for me to eat chocolate - I got seriously sick to my stomach. Even the smell of chocolate could make me nauseous! At that time I was 38. Now I am 73 and over the past few years I have once again found it possible to enjoy quality chocolate in limited amounts. Joy! I am an American woman from California who has been living in Europe for over 30 years and I binge watch your programs!! You two are purely delightful and I am fascinated by the food you prepare. I love to prepare food, so thank you both for making my life even happier! ❤️❤️
Dear Justine & Ron, I really enjoyed your chocolate themed video today. Chocolate is my favoríte food! And yes, there are "chocolate salons" today in Paris, France. The most famous being "Angelina", where Parisians & tourists alike flock to drink their super rich & thick cups of chocolate & whipped cream (it's heavenly)! Also, it might interest you to know that hot chocolate is a popular breakfast drink in France & other European countries. Keep up the good work. Love to Mish-Mish & the chickens from my 2 house panthers, Pyewacket & Mama Gillian. Michelle Clapham
In general, cacao beans are considered to be about the same size as coffee beans, when dried in preparation for this recipe. I made a version of this recipe (cut down a lot) a few years ago, on my channel, The Cup That Cheers, and there have been a few other people who have also tried it online. The cacao pod is the large thing that grows on the tree, and it is full of cacao beans inside, which -- when roasted -- are full of cacao nibs, which can be purchased as a superfood today.
my fav way to have it is roasted, powdered with a pinch of cayenne, cinnamon and milk. Or coconut milk powder. MMM. Not as the ancestors had it LOL there are psychedelic effects (sp?) with really good quality beans, or mb you've heard.
The first recipe reminds me of cookie dough. I have a no bake chocolate cookie recipe made with oatmeal and vanilla it looks really similar once it’s all blended in the pot. I love how you take away the mystery of how people obtained their ingredients, it’s just like today, it makes our history less mysterious and more normal to me, thank you. As always, I had a great time watching your chew and chat. 😄
There’s a place in Cambridge, MA that serves hot chocolate as the main thing. It’s called L.A. Burdick handmade Chocolates. I think they have other locations too. It’s good.
Mariebelle in NYC can be considered a chocolate house. It’s a chocolate shop but in the back there’s a salon where they serve all types of chocolate drinks.
I absolutely love watching both channels. This hot chocolate looks delicious! I love the energy between you two. Sounds like it is time for Mr Rooster to go. I would have been running away lol. Mish Mish knew what he was doing when he found you. He cleay loves you both. Thank you for giving him his best life!
I didn’t get a chance to say this during the live stream, but I’m sure you were right, it’s the hot chocolate milk one to make the oatmeal, not the concentrated chocolate one. No way would they tell you to use equal amounts… Love your channel! 🥰💕❤️👍
Time to look up a fantastic chicken receipt! Once a rooster goes rogue, the only thing they are good for is dinner. I've had a few over the years that were introduced to the rooster rehabilitation unit (aka crockpot). A dutch oven over a bed of coals would work as well. Best do it before the hens get any worse.
he first chocolate drink is believed to have been created by the Maya around 2,500-3,000 years ago, and a cocoa drink was an essential part of Aztec culture by 1400 AD, by which they referred to as xocōlātl.
i always enjoy watching you both banter and your attitudes are quite refreshing; It's nice to see how the two of you work as a team and can still act like friends versus the expectation we have in modern times of what being a 'couple' is. 😊
Cocoa _pods_ are quite large, but each pod has a thick rind and contains about 30 to 50 beans. I think individual cocoa beans, stripped of pulp, are about two or three times the size of an average coffee bean. That 1644 hot chocolate will cost you two to four cocoa pods, depending on your luck. As a side note, I've never had the pleasure, but I'm told the pulp (the proper "fruit" of the cacao tree) has a sweet-but-tangy fruity flavor. Some have compared it to a sweet lemonade.
Aztec legend Montezuma drank chocolate from a golden goblet before visiting one of his many wives. The word "chocolate" comes via the Spanish from the Aztec xocolatl, which means "bitter water" and helps explain how they consumed it-as a drink with chili peppers and allspice, sometimes chilled with snow.
Growing up, my mom raised chickens to make extra money. They went into the pot when we had an aggressive rooster like that. They can be extremely dangerous and you cannot tame them. Either send him back or have Sunday dinner (roast chicken) it may sound cruel but when it comes down to it, it's either him or you. I agree that the lighter chocolate oatmeal was how the cookbook was trying to convey its message, The darker chocolate almost looked like you could turn it into oatmeal cookies. Take care, you guys. Love your reviews, you both are so funny. ❤
Do you know what else comes from the Americas? in this case, more precisely Peru, is Paddington Bear, brought to life by the British author, Michael Bond, in 1958. And the humble potatoe domesticated in the South American Andes introduced into Europe in the mid 1500s. The humble potatoe was a staple food of Ireland and when a disease struck causing the potatoes to rot ensued the potatoe famine causing about 1 million deaths.
Yes, there are chocolate houses today. I visited one quite often in a small town in Louisiana. They had sipping chocolate in milk and dark chocolate flavors along with fine chocolates and pastries. The sipping chocolates were quite thick
Here in MA, in Salem, there is a place called Kakawa Chocolate House. Looking them up it looks there are locations mainly in Santa Fe NM but we're lucky to one here in MA! I have had hot chocolate there but they also had chocolate treats at the time. My hot chocolate was pretty delicious 😋
You guys are just too cute together 🥰 I not only love how informative your videos are, but I like watching how you guys interact with each other and your passion for early American history. ❤ Keep the videos coming.
Each pod has numerous ridges running along its length and holds 20 to 60 seeds, the cocoa beans, arranged around the long axis of the pod. The oval seeds are about 2.5 cm (1 inch) long and are covered with a sweet sticky white pulp.
Still have a scar on the back of my leg from my rooster who loved to catch me with my back turned! Missed you guys! Glad you're back! I think I was having withdrawals 😊
I’m so glad you’re back and Ron is feeling better! My little secret is that I’m more of a fruit person than a chocolate person..when did they start drinking orange juice? Ps- about the rooster, all I’m going to say is I’d like to see a roasted chicken recipe next week! 😂
Justine, I have a retractable wire brush for my cats. I brush and when done the wire goes inside the fur is eady to dispose of. They love it and it works great!
First and foremost, thank you for making these videos. I find myself looking forward to your new videos each week. The videos you make on Early American and on Frontier Patriot have officially become my little escape from reality. I found it very interesting that the early American colonists were able to get coco from Central America. I was just wondering if they were able to get other items like coconut and/or bananas as well. Do any of the recipes you read include these items? I wish you both the best on your future endeavors!
My mother in law had eight children. For a breakfast treat every once in a whild she would make them chocolate gravy to pour over her homemade buscuits !! I made it a few times for my two girls and they still talk about it. I see the receipe every once in a while in church lady cook books. We had mean roosters one time ...could"nt get near them !!
I saw several chocolate houses in Switzerland. I had to stop in and get one. It was so good! I cant wait to hear more about your house. Ok now I need to go get chocolate! :)
Glad to see y'uns 🙂. I had chickens & roosters yrs ago but the roosters were so very mean I couldn't get to the eggs! 😳. I know this is gonna sound horrible but I bot a soft pellet pistal and shot my way into get my eggs! 🫣. No birds were hurt in the process 😄. Eventually got rid of the roosters 😮💨
How big are cocoa beans? A ripe fruit may contain 20 to 75 cocoa beans, each . 5-1.5 inches long and encased in a white pulp. Beans are roughly 50% fat and 25% carbohydrates.Image result for how big are cocoa beans in inches Each pod has numerous ridges running along its length and holds 20 to 60 seeds, or cocoa beans, arranged around the long axis of the pod.

you could take the oatmeal that is half chocolate and half oatmeal, add some eggs and levining to it put it in a cake pan and bake it and then eat a slice of it with a glass of milk.🥰🥰
@@tessasense2584 combine in a medium heavy sauce pan: 2 cups sugar,4Tablespoons cocoa, 1/4 cup butter,and 1/2 cup milk...bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat add: 1/2 cup peanut butter, 3 cups oatmeal (the cooks in one minute type) and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine well drop by teaspoon full onto wax paper or parchment paper. Cool and eat! Oh by the way I challenge you to eat just one...enjoy!
We missed you and glad you're feeling better. I looked forward to another Chew&Chat. Sorry you were attacked by that mean rooster 🐓Justine. He needs to go in the frying pan or the stew pot !
So happy to see this chew n chat!! I missed you both last week. Its good to see you feeling better,and what better way to come back ,, to chocolate! Yeah 🎉😊😊❤❤
I'm so sorry you were attacked by your rooster. I was attacked as a child by our bunny rooster too. But he's only doing what is in his nature.There must be a solution, other than death. I love watching you two, take care, your very cool.

Chocolate in England goes back to the early 1500s. Henry VIII had a small kitchen dedicated to making him hot chocolate.
Really enjoy hearing the historical origins of the dishes you’re eating !! Always impressed by you both :)

WOW, cheese!? Thats crazy but id try it!!! :)
@@frontierpatriot it's good! The cheese is all warm and melty. Try with something like edam or Emmentaler
My wife is also from PR & she also adds cheese to her hot chocolate. I'll continue to drink mine without the cheese 😉

Any 1800's receipt for dressed rooster? I suspect next week's chew 'n chat will be roast bird 😀

Thanks for recognizing the first Mardi Gras in this country was in Mobile (Alabama). Love your giving the French history in America!
Still have a scar on the back of my leg from my rooster who loved to catch me with my back turned! Missed you guys! Glad you're back! I think I was having withdrawals 😊
I’m so glad you’re back and Ron is feeling better! My little secret is that I’m more of a fruit person than a chocolate person..when did they start drinking orange juice?
Ps- about the rooster, all I’m going to say is I’d like to see a roasted chicken recipe next week! 😂
Justine, I have a retractable wire brush for my cats. I brush and when done the wire goes inside the fur is eady to dispose of. They love it and it works great!
First and foremost, thank you for making these videos. I find myself looking forward to your new videos each week. The videos you make on Early American and on Frontier Patriot have officially become my little escape from reality. I found it very interesting that the early American colonists were able to get coco from Central America. I was just wondering if they were able to get other items like coconut and/or bananas as well. Do any of the recipes you read include these items?
I wish you both the best on your future endeavors!
This was just wonderful! Loved learning about yummy chocolate! And yes you were missed!!! xoxoxox
Glad you liked it!!
In regards to lemons, here in California it grows in the backyard on trees but many still buy in the store because they don't have a tree.
Take the thick chocolate oatmeal and add nuts and dried fruit then press into a pan, let harden, and cut into squares for a granola bar.
Hi Ron and Justine! I am new to your channel and I am loving these history lessons and such relaxing conversation in these chew and chats :)
Thank you so much! 🙂
I love you guys so much! Only recently discovered your channels a few months ago. Thank you 🙏🏻 The rooster story 🤣🤣🤣
They make chocolate on a chocolate plantation on the island of Saint Lucia as well.
Never thought of chocolate in oatmeal, glad your feeling better Ron
Not only were you not the only one, you were off by 200 years 😂
Justine's a hoot!
We always ATE the mean roosters. But my Buff Orpington Roosters were almost always gentle.
My mother in law had eight children. For a breakfast treat every once in a whild she would make them chocolate gravy to pour over her homemade buscuits !! I made it a few times for my two girls and they still talk about it. I see the receipe every once in a while in church lady cook books. We had mean roosters one time ...could"nt get near them !!
My mom and grandma both make chocolate gravy (sauce) and biscuits! its a southern thing i think :)
@@frontierpatriot Must be ! I am a southerner from Georgia !! The church cookbooks are from southern churches !!
Ron Daniel Boone was first cousin to the grandparents of Abraham Lincoln. They went to Kentucky with the Boones.
"They didn't have cats back then" 🤣🤣🤣
I saw several chocolate houses in Switzerland. I had to stop in and get one. It was so good! I cant wait to hear more about your house. Ok now I need to go get chocolate! :)
Glad to see y'uns 🙂. I had chickens & roosters yrs ago but the roosters were so very mean I couldn't get to the eggs! 😳. I know this is gonna sound horrible but I bot a soft pellet pistal and shot my way into get my eggs! 🫣. No birds were hurt in the process 😄. Eventually got rid of the roosters 😮💨
How big are cocoa beans?
A ripe fruit may contain 20 to 75 cocoa beans, each . 5-1.5 inches long and encased in a white pulp. Beans are roughly 50% fat and 25% carbohydrates.Image result for how big are cocoa beans in inches
Each pod has numerous ridges running along its length and holds 20 to 60 seeds, or cocoa beans, arranged around the long axis of the pod. The oval seeds are about 2.5 cm (1 inch) long and are covered with a sweet sticky white pulp
you could take the oatmeal that is half chocolate and half oatmeal, add some eggs and levining to it put it in a cake pan and bake it and then eat a slice of it with a glass of milk.🥰🥰
The thick chocolate oatmeal reminds me of a cookie receipt I make. Love what you guys are doing!
May I have that receipt? I'd like to try making that.
@@tessasense2584 combine in a medium heavy sauce pan: 2 cups sugar,4Tablespoons cocoa, 1/4 cup butter,and 1/2 cup milk...bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.

We missed you and glad you're feeling better. I looked forward to another Chew&Chat. Sorry you were attacked by that mean rooster 🐓Justine. He needs to go in the frying pan or the stew pot !

I'm so sorry you were attacked by your rooster. I was attacked as a child by our bunny rooster too. But he's only doing what is in his nature.There must be a solution, other than death. I love watching you two, take care, your very cool.
First bowl looks like no bake cookie batter 😄
I thought the same thing! Yummmmm.
