When I saw poudre forte listed as an ingredient, I knew this was legit. It’s so cool to finally see a fantasy cookbook that’s actually based on medieval recipes! Bread was commonly used to thicken sauces, and since sugar was considered a spice, it was often used in savoury dishes, so a lot of medieval food has a really interesting bbq/sweet-and-sour contrast
I simply adore Medieval times. Their society is rife with underappreciated humor. How on Earth was sugar mistaken as a spice!? 🤣 If by some stretch of suspicion that was the case, it must've been some backwards tasting food lol. I would even suppose underdeveloped communities such as these could achieve the bare minimum by distinguishing what's spicy, sour or sweet depending on taste. I mean you don't require much effort to differentiate a candy bar from a pepper. That's pure comedy.
@@loveroffilms6436 they used fruits and honey for the sugar and they used it as a seasoning they didn't mistake it as a spice they just used ut with spices and seasonings
Even leaving the theming aside this looks like a high quality cookbook and the level of detail and care for the lore of the franchise just adds the proverbial cheery on top. I especially like how they even included the "boring" dishes for authenticity.
I think I cooked a chicken with honey from the authors' blog before they turned it into a cookbook. It was delicious! I really want this book, not because I'm a fan of Game of Thrones, but I want to try medieval dishes even if they're a bit edited to suit our modern tastes
I've made a handful of the recipes from this book. The onions in gravy, the cheese and onion pie and the pine nut pastry things from beyond the wall (I forgot their name its been a while) are all really good. I had been making a recipe from this book for every finale episode when season 8 was premiering but I stopped after episode 3 because I didn't have the motivation for obvious reasons anymore.
This was such a fun episode! I'm slightly disappointed you didn't make Arya's meat pie but I suppose it would have been hard to.. ahem, source the ingredients
That's a lot of meat for a recipe for cheap stew. The channel Tasting History with Max Miller has at least one episode that features poudre forte. I think he ground up the toast while dry first so it had a finer consistency, but I could be misremembering. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, and the intro.😂
Modern history TV actually has a series on what various people in the middle ages might have actually eaten, depending on their social class or how wealthy they were, so yeah that was a TON of meat for a peasant, but the spices and other similar things, MOLASSES?!?!, where what shocked me 😂
Man i love this series. I'm usually not familiar with most of the franchises the books you review are based on but i still find your videos very entertaining.
I absolutely adore how you have fun with these videos, it really shows and is super contagious ❤️ I dont even cook but I love your vidoes and especially your intros lol. This one, the elden ring intro and the fallout intros are my favorites so far
That intro is fantastic! Those honey fingers look delicious and are something I definitely want to try making. Would love to see you revisit this cookbook in the future.
Thank you for the Video :) 2 Questions tho: 1. Would you make a cook book tierlist of 2022 by the end of the year? I think it would be cool seeing them all ranked up :D 2. Do you recomment this book for vegetarians? I've seen many meaty dishes (which makes sense, its game of thrones....not game of carrots). The thing is, this seems like a great gift to my best friend. But his girlfriend and him are both vegetarians. Have a nice day :)
I'm not sure if I'd recommend it for vegetarians. If they eat eggs and fish then there are a few more recipes that would work. Breakfast on the wall can be done without the meat or just replace it with cheese. But it seems that most recipes that are vegetarian are not really meant as main-courses. As vegetarian "mains" you have: Pea mash (both modern and medieval), Onions in gravy, buttered red and white beets, beets in butter (there are 3 variants of it), soup of leek (modern & medieval), Sister stew (but it has fish), broth of algae and mussles (again: Shellfish this time), Mushroom-soup, Pumpkin-Soup, carrots in butter, Fishpasties (Fish), Cheese-Onion-Pie, Dornish breakfast (a kind of scrambled eggs), Humus, filled vine leaves and beetsoup. Added to this are quite a few recipes of sweets, tartlests, cakes and also breads and hearty cookies. Also there are some salats. In my personal view, unless you go for a soup, its hart to make a full vegetarian meal out from the recipes alone. Because I feel that most "fulll courses" revolve arround some kind of meat-component. There are also not great options to replace the meat with something else. If they're a fan of medieval deserts and cakes, than it might be worth thinking about it, because there are quife a few recipes of bakebles. But I haven't tried those. Edit: I have to say that I own the German version, so some names might differ, based on my skill of retranslation backwards to english.
The avatar the last airebender has a good amount of vegetarian recipies! It also has a number of recipies with meat, but it's a lovely cookbook. You should check it out, see if it works as a gift, if they like avatar
Love your new intros, you aced the green screen this time xD As for the recipes, you've got the right move, if you feel something is wrong, then something is definitely wrong, sometimes people stick to the recipe but when recipes never say things like "if your dough is too sticky, add extra flour", yet, I almost always had to do this with success. Hi to "Miso wifey" too by the way xD. Last thing : overbaked bread is not really healthy, I am surprised they came out with this idea, there are a lot of brown and black bread available.
I remember making the Bowls of Brown (turned out a little bit too salty, would try reduced salt stock next time), Stewed Rabbit, Traditional Flatbread, both Medieval and Modern Leek Soups, and finally, Honeyed Chicken with Modern Turnips in Butter (the turnips tasted strange for some reason). They overall went down a treat!
I have this book and I made several recipesfrom it. The beef & bacon pie and the Sisters stew were my personal favorites to make and the stew was my top. I highly recommend you try the stew.
I've had this book for years now and it's spectacular. I highly recommend trying pretty much any of the savoury pies, but my favorite is the medieval version of the pork pie. Also the honeyfingers ARE tricky to handle. I've found that sticking the dough in the freezer for a few minutes after shaping it into a square but before cutting it helps a lot. And using plenty of extra flour when kneading/shaping it, too.
This was one of my early "themed" cook books along with the Fallout cookbook and the Elder Scrolls cookbook...and of all the ones I own it's the one I turn to the most for a good bread recipe, I love making the crusty white bread from this book. I never even watched the show but I love medieval stuff and after looking at a preview of some of the recipes on Amazon with the little preview digital thing they do, I decided to pick it up and I'm glad I did.
@@MisoHungrie I made a batch for Christmas and took it over to my little brother's place. It was a big hit with his fiancee and her family. One batch of the Crusty White Bread recipe makes three small loaves...goes through flour like CRAZY though.
Love your video's. I was wondering if you're open to cookbook suggestions? If so; I would love to see you cook some bob's burgers and Doctor Who foods!
@Grima the Fell Dragon I've been caught up with the anime. Part 6 has prison food they could do, plus one of the characters had a restaurant at one point.
My dude, the honeyfinger dough is made in a similar way to pate a choux. It IS supposed to be super sticky, to the point where no one works it by hand anymore. They pipe it out to make eclairs and cream puffs.
Geez it would have been so much easier to pipe it out lol I should have thought of that. Wondering why the cookbook suggested to work on it with hands. Maybe that's the traditional way of doing it?
@@MisoHungrie It's my favorite show! My favorite recipe tho is the "Clay Baked Chicken", which I love to cook for my friends for Halloween (not WITH my friends of course hah) :D Can't wait to see what you might try! Actual name of the book is "Feeding Hannibal - A Connoisseur's Cookbook"! 😁
I don't know a thing about Game of Thrones and I hope it always stays that way but even so, this is still an enjoyable video, especially that opening. Even without an understanding of that scene, I appreciate your evolving style of video content creation. I hope to see more expert acting in the future.
I remember trying the honeyed locust recipe from this book a while back. Was pretty good, but think if I make it again I'll use crickets instead, not a fan of the oversized legs on the grasshoppers. Least I think this was the GoT one with the locust recipe?
That actually looks so delicious. I hope we get to see more of those recipes. I wonder if there is a game/show cookbook, that features mostly German dishes, as I want to see you to enjoy these as well.
Wise choice. You're not going to die for some chickens when there's a plentiful amounts of recipies to form a meal fot to the taste. A meal fit for a king...or queen, cut me some slack. A feast be bountiful into your stomach. The next person planning a red wedding, a pie is no grave.

I tasted authentic medeval food. On the infamous medeval markets. The food was disgusting for my no-sugar taste.
My gut reaction was that it was nearly a kings ransom worth of spices, in peasants food, lol 😅
Let's be honest, we were all waiting for the verdict on the sauce that went for the roast.
True, true
I'm thinking about trying it myself!
Lol it was surprisingly good with additional liquids added 👍
Even leaving the theming aside this looks like a high quality cookbook and the level of detail and care for the lore of the franchise just adds the proverbial cheery on top.
I especially like how they even included the "boring" dishes for authenticity.
Speed wagooon!

I dont watch game of thrones but yeah this has always been my fav cookbook and started me on the path of pop culture cookbooks!
I think I cooked a chicken with honey from the authors' blog before they turned it into a cookbook. It was delicious! I really want this book, not because I'm a fan of Game of Thrones, but I want to try medieval dishes even if they're a bit edited to suit our modern tastes
Yeah the historical aspect of the cookbook is so cool. Can't wait for the next one!
Been really loving the intros! They're hilarious!

I made the beef and bacon pie from this many years ago and it was GREAT! If you do a followup, that is highly recommended.
I was looking at that recipe and I agree it looks very tasty. Will have to try it out 👍
This was such a fun episode! I'm slightly disappointed you didn't make Arya's meat pie but I suppose it would have been hard to.. ahem, source the ingredients
Lol those pie ingredients are Definitely Hooman 🤣
The ingredients are all around ya...it's the harvesting that's...difficult...
🤣I have never seen GoT, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the scene in the beginning has to be one of the most bizarre threats ever

You're becoming so much more accomplished with green screen. Kudos!
Glad you think so! Thanks again for watching 😄
Propably one of the most fitting cookbooks themed after a series, considering how much Mr. Martin loves to describe food in his novels.
That intro is fantastic! Those honey fingers look delicious and are something I definitely want to try making. Would love to see you revisit this cookbook in the future.
Glad you liked it! Lots of interesting recipes from the cookbook that I'd love to revisit
I think the "toast sauce" is to thin. Bread was often added to thicken sauces. But I'm also sure that it should be as thick as the book says.
Great job on the intro. Thanks for putting in so much time on your videos. It shows how much you care about them.
Thank you! Happy to make them for you guys!
The bacon and bean soup from the Wall is the single best tasting meal I’ve ever cooked (and I cook a new meal like 3x/week)
Dang that's high praise! I'll have to try that sometime
That was a great intro, you couldn’t have found a more perfect clip!!
I think we all need a MisoWifey video feature now!
Lol I'll try to convince her 😂
That intro was absolute gold!

I would love to try the stewed rabbit one. Glad to hear all those recipes are good!
@@MisoHungrie Forgot to mention I did the Roast Duck from that book too!
I feel like a master chef after watching one of your videos. I definitely know what Poudre Forte is
I just love how I don't even know game of thrones but u were still able to make me enjoy the video. Thanks a lot, keep going!👍
Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
I also was confused about burnt toast lol. Another great vid Vern!!
A dear friend of mine bought me that book for Christmas one year. I loved the Aurochs With Roasted Leeks. And the cooked apples dessert was delicious!
Your skits are some of my favorites, I love your style and I just think it's hilarious your inserts are awesome!

Thanks for the tip! I was on the fence on making the bacon pie, it looked so good
Another great one Miso!
Very much like this cook book review series you’re doing, I really hope you keep it up.
For sure! Doing what I can with the time I have but I'm definitely doing more 🙂
Been waiting for this one
Love your videos bro keep up the good work and I hope you have a great day and your videos are 🔥 your videos always make my day better
Wow I appreciate that! Your comment made my day so I hope you have a wonderful day as well ☺️
I love this idea so much for a channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
That intro bit was awesome lol
I translated the Frey Pies recipe for my family many years ago (from the Inn at the Crossroads) and it's been one of our favourites since.
I love the review. Will you be getting and reviewing the new games of thrones cookbook? It would be great if you would compare the two.
I absolutely love your content keep up the good work
Thank you! Glad you liked it 👍
Nice, this was the first cookbook I’d ever gotten. Awesome review as usual.
Thanks!
Thank you for the Super Thanks! 😍
I never liked the tv- show and never read the books. But food is food and that looks good.
Loved the intro
I hope you eventually get the little Redwall cookbook too, it's simpler but it's a delight

I made the mistake of watching this without eating beforehand.
If you haven’t already you should review the Hannibal cookbook called ‘Feeding Hannibal’ it’s a lot of pretty good recipes

The beginning was really funny. 😀
This was one of her oldest books. Still holds up shes making a new one too.
Very excited for the next one! House of the Dragon has been fantastic so far
That intro is fire I hope we get more skits in these
Will try to come up with more 😄
You should do the official Ghostbusters cookbook once it releases next month during the Halloween season.
On my radar!
I kinda cooked the meat. Kinda. Was tasty as heck. You're kinda inspireing me to cook. Thank you.
Great to hear! Good luck with your future kitchen creations 👍
My bro eating like royalty in the Red Keep. Good work 👍
Lol I was Joffrey's honored guest 😀
This cookbook is fantastic. I have made EVERY recipe except the nones w ingredients I can't find and thry are all fantastic.
Awesome! You should cover the assassin's creed cookbook, I'm not a huge fan of the saga but my friend is and he actually loves that book lol
I might check it out. I typically gravitate towards official cookbooks but if the content in that one is good then I'll do it 👍
I love these videos🥰
That stew looks good.
Love your video's. I was wondering if you're open to cookbook suggestions?
If so; I would love to see you cook some bob's burgers and Doctor Who foods!
Very open to suggestions! The Bob's Burger book is on my list but I haven't heard of the Doctor Who one. Will check it out
6:59 you are literally the only other human I’ve met who knows what medium well is-
I would love to see a cook book review for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. A lot of good food ideas from that series, especially in Part 4.
JOJOOOOO
@Grima the Fell Dragon I've been caught up with the anime. Part 6 has prison food they could do, plus one of the characters had a restaurant at one point.
@Grima the Fell Dragon Florida cuisine says to me something with oranges, and something with alligator.
Now I want that stew, though I'd spice it up more to my taste
That stew looks oddly good👀
Please do the Hannibal cookbook from the tv show and the nightmare before Christmas cook book!!!!
Thanks for the suggestions! Will keep those in mind

I'd love if you'd review the NBC Hannibal Cookbook :D It's fantastic (but very special and I promise without human meat. I think 😨) !
I used to love that show! The cooking shots were done so well. Haven't checked out the cookbook but I'm interested 👍
@@MisoHungrie It's my favorite show! My favorite recipe tho is the "Clay Baked Chicken", which I love to cook for my friends for Halloween (not WITH my friends of course hah) :D Can't wait to see what you might try!

Just a tip, next time you could freeze the dough to make it more manageable.
Ahhhh that would have been a good idea 👍
Finally! Haha I've been a fan o GOT recipes since GOT was a good show.

the honey fingers are basically churros, maybe it'd be easier to use a piping bag
I remember trying the honeyed locust recipe from this book a while back. Was pretty good, but think if I make it again I'll use crickets instead, not a fan of the oversized legs on the grasshoppers. Least I think this was the GoT one with the locust recipe?
Wow props to you! Bugs are the one thing I can't bring myself to eat. But yeah that was one of the most interesting recipes from the book
Got yourself an abo just for that intro
That actually looks so delicious. I hope we get to see more of those recipes.
I wonder if there is a game/show cookbook, that features mostly German dishes, as I want to see you to enjoy these as well.
At least someone finished the cookbook...
Wise choice. You're not going to die for some chickens when there's a plentiful amounts of recipies to form a meal fot to the taste. A meal fit for a king...or queen, cut me some slack. A feast be bountiful into your stomach. The next person planning a red wedding, a pie is no grave.
I would suggest that you refrigerate the cheese mixture for 5he tart
They announced the Assassin's Creed cookbook, theres a cool video idea :)
Added it to my list!
hunger games cookbook when?
No frey pie or lemon tarts?
Couldn't get the ingredients for Frey Pie....💀
My home town was George R R Martin's inspiration for westeros
Hope there aren't any dragons where you live! 🔥
@MisoHungrie
Dragon was my nickname growing up. So I've been looking.
Haven't seen any yet
nice
Let’s eat!!
Try some recipes from the avengers campus cook book
That's on my list! Definitely wanna try that
Any reason you never make the drinks, be them alcoholic or not?
He's made drinks before.
No recipes from the show? So no Starbucks then?
I really love Game of Thrones until season 7, and season 8 was just way to rushed and could have been 3 seasons, so I really want this book.
It took GRRM 5 years to write the forward to this cookbook.
LOL! 😂
…the intro skit 👏🥲
I wonder if Frey pies is one of the recipes.
Unfortunately not 🤷♂️
i love the vids but who eats all of this
