Colcannon. We make it here annually to pay homage to my grandmothers, both of whom were born first-generation Americans to Irish immigrant parents. I loved and miss them both. Thank you Peter and Cathy for another fine video! bail ó Dhia ar an obair
Oh, if you only knew how beautiful these pictures are for someone who lives in the big city of Berlin and has loved Ireland since his youth! Irish Trad! There's a song about the colcannon, good Irish Sean-nós, sung by an old man. I've never heard it again and I can't find it again: "So did he and so did I and the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry. Oh weren't they the happy days when troubles we knew not, and or mother made colcannon In the little skillet pot". O yes, these were my lovely days! Love from Berlin!
What a wonderful meal. I’ve never heard of it. Sounds great though. Thanks my friend for all your great videos. God bless y’all. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Great video, Peter. Love that cabin! We make a dish with cabage sausage potatoes onions and apples. Half Irish myself. Started my cabage seeds two days ago.
Peter and Cathy, It’s so nice to watch your interaction in a setting like this, sharing a meal and poem by the fireside. Think I might try that recipe in the near future. All the best! Cheers!
Of all the videos you gifted us on RUclips over the years, this is definitely one of my favorites! I love the glimpses of everyday people doing everyday things. You are doing the stuff I wish I had started doing in the 1980's but allowed society to misdirect me. Now that I am retired and have the space in the rural mountains of Virginia, I am beginning my journey back to 1761. Cathy, you need to have more time in front of the camera. I would love to hear more of a "wee bit o' history" from the perspective of a frontier woman. The same journey from a completely different perspective would add a depth to the series that would be fascinating.
I totally agree, can you imagine if we had first person references from the female gender of the time period! Sadly most women were hardly given the time of day. I suspect yo7 might be seeing a wee bit mor3 of Cathy and her opinions in the future. We appreciate your comments!
His good timing for dinner, licking the spoon and "you can never have too much butter.." (and his kind words as well..) oh! And his answer to - want more than that?
I’m 62, and from Liverpool in U.K. and I make colcannon in much the same way. Absolutely delicious. Ireland is just a quick swim across the Irish Sea or a few hours by ferry lol 😂 love your content.
I'm deep into researching Irish culinary history for the second half of The Backwoods Kitchen, I was so excited to see this pop up! Love to see the Irish food representation, especially considering Ireland has a rather rich culinary culture, which extends well before and well beyond the darkness of the 1840s.
This is the second time in the last few days I've seen this dish being prepared, and I like your version best , especially you adding the history of it. I'll be preparing this for my family on St. Patrick's Day and will be adding this dish in camp. Thanks for another great video.
There's a saying when a man snores away in rhythm, that he is; 'sawing logs', but when you speak of it as pertains Emperor Peter...he is literally 'sawing logs'! As usual, you're busier than a beaver as befits your character. It did look chilly though and I was happy to see you and sweet Catherine partake of a dee-licious period meal = YUM! WHAT a lovely time at the cabin you've shared with us! I thank you most kindly and it was a treat to see Empress Catherine, working away with a smile....AHhhhh, there's nothing wrong with a simple life eh Peter? Belly full and home well ordered, Catherine soOOooo content beside the hearth sharing a poem...Are your thoughts not shared with Andrew Jackson, here? "Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there." Take care dear ones...sleep the sleep of a well-earned rest...health and blessings! :)
She is always smiling and when there is a second pair of hands required, she’s right by my side, regardless of the task. My belly was certainly full after that meal. Odd, I can put away huge amounts of food and not need to put extra holes in my belt, lol. Never though much of Andrew Jackson, but that being said, it is a wonderful quote.
Both my great grand mother's made Colcannon quite often. Still like it and cook it up. Peeling logs will wear a person slick. I break out in a sweat just seeing a draw knife.
I nothing like a good hot meal after working in the cold. Sitting by your Bonnie bride reading. poetry from long ago. A pull from the pipe a dram or two. The fire inviting my bones to soothe. Another great video thank you much. I'll be trying that recipe out
I'm a terrible cook but I will have to try that recipe, you're a lucky man having Cathy prepare such a hearty meal after a cold and unsuccessful rabbit hunt...
You sure made me hungry. I love cabbage. I just started my seeds for this spring. I need to make that receipe. Nothing flavors like bacon grease. Thanks for sharing .
You showed up just in time to eat Peter. That was one of my few talents as a kid, showing up just as dinner was ready. That looked delicious. Enjoyed the poem Catherine. Save some logs for me to peel, although I’m sure there is no shortage. Looking forward to visiting in just over a week. As always, an enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing!
Trust me, Steven, there will be the odd one left to Peel! We look forward to your visit and most certainly appreciate your offer to help. Safe journey.
Looks like you both are having a wonderful time!!! my grandmother made a recipe from her grandmother, loose sausage fried and boiled cubed potatoes, and cubed turnips then add chicken stock and cook until turnips are soft, add salt and pepper to taste. Delicious.!!! Thank you both for another wonderful video.
Every St Patty’s Day I make colcannon. However, my recipe isn’t as fabulous as the one your wife made. I made her recipe the following night and my husband and I have enjoyed it two nights in a row. DELICIOUS!!!!!
Cathy, you are a peach. Peter, I still love your cabin. Question: How much time do you actually live at the cabin? I'm guessing you are retired? Great channel, I envy you. Hope to one day visit the fort...God bless you both....
We spend as much time as possible in the cabin, but full disclosure, like to come up to the house for such things a laundry! As to Cathy, I believe they broke the mold when she came into the world, I’m a lucky man indeed!
When I was a child, I used to love going to my great grandmother's house, especially when she was cooking. She was 99 years old when she passed away and she still cooked in the fireplace. She also had a big cast iron wood stove in the living room and she would grease the top of the stove and fry potatoes right on the stove top. The thing I remember most about her was that she didn't even ask if you wanted it, she just automatically poured you a cup of coffee when you came in. I might also add that even at her age, if one of us broke out a quart of corn likker she would drink as much as anyone there and never show the effects of it. She was just the typical mountain woman of her time.
Wow what a great meal to come home to, colcannon is one of my favorites me being originally from that part of the world. Lots of hard labor of love to come on the fort. I'm looking forward to watching your progress 👍
Peter this video did one thing for me…..made me hungry!!! 😁 Especially since I was just in Ireland in September. Great video as always. Keep ‘em coming!
Wow, that meal looks delicious. Just starting to get into !8th century re-enacting. I want to portray a long hunter/ Indian scout but can not decide if I should get a rifle or smoothbore.
Peter and Cathy, My grandmother used to make that, but I never knew what it was called. Brings back kind memories of my youth. I think I will make it soon for my family. Thank you!
Fantastic video Peter and Kathy, great poem, and I remember my Grandmother making that dish. We still have it occasionally ( I should say I do, as my wife is not that big a fan of cabbage unless it is in jiggs dinner). Thanks ,and keep your powder dry
Oh, Peter and Cathy! You remind me so much of my Grans. (I'm 78 y old, thus I have great memories of my McReynolds maternal background and their stories. Much obliged for your efforts and to your historic references. Blessings and Joy to you both and to yours! [By he way, Cathy; Having witnessed the poem/song you read, I have committed it to memory this eve. Many thanks 🤠 ]
@@TheWoodlandEscape there is a video. George Washington's Mount Vernon. I usually don't make the gravy. I just put salt, pepper, and nutmeg. I also put one chopped onion in it too. The Mount Vernon recipe only has sausage and apples.
Well this video made me hungry and that's ok because supper is about ready unfortunately its not colcannon thanks Peter and Cathy i enjoy watching your channel and learn most often something new
Colcannon...hmmm. I've made similar just throwing those ingredients together but I didn't mash the potatoes... Must that wee bit of Irish blood that flows thru my veins, lol. Thanks again for an enjoyable video.
Howdy Peter close to my supper time and belly is hungry ... even more after watching ..Lol Had cabbage and bacon one time few years back cooked like that .... will try what Cathy made sounds and looks better . Rabbit would be nice with the Colcannon .... maybe tomorrow . Good luck .
Appreciate your efforts and dedication. Really enjoyed this cooking video. How can you go wrong with bacon grease and butter!!! Thanks again and keep your powder dry!!
That meal looks like it might just hit the spot and I can tell by the number of logs you've peeled that Fred is going to have a grand house. Are you familiar with wild onions and eggs or cunuchi?
Great video! These videos keep the imagination going all week long! Thinking up more things to do and create! I left you my email last week. I would enjoy your hospitality at The Woodland Escape in April . I will need a date though, I will have to book the weekend off! Thanks again.
I don’t see your email. Mine is, thewoodlandescape1@gmail.com. The dates are April 26, 27 and 28th. That’s great that you’ll attend. Bring your 1812 kit. We will be live firing the Bess’s and ice lots of balls cast.
I've noticed the snowshoe hares have been quite scarce over here in East Hungerford, not sure if it's a natural cycle or the excellent Bob Cat population.
Food looks good.I am being nosy but if you have to move grand kids in there if thy fall on hard times, do you have a non period wood stove on hand to be more wood and heat efficient? I picked up a few for my tack room and work shop in case.
That block house got me thinking on a previous video about bunks and how cold it would be in there. We heat with a modern kitchen cook stove and watch your breath fog in the videos, settlers were tough people. @@TheWoodlandEscape
@@terrynoraturner1848 Indeed they were . However, when I put the tick down in front of the fire place banked with good coals, I’m snug as a bug in a rug until morning. Also the loft is quite warm.
Cathy's cooking by the fire has my stomach growling; I wish YT had 'smellovision'! lol Peter, better luck next time getting a rabbit to jump out of the bush and onto the spit.
And my mother made colcannon in the little skillet pot."
A big plate of colcannon, a dollop of homemade butter in the middle and a mug of buttermilk, could not eat better.
We still eat colcannon, but now cooked in stainless steel sauspan.
I must get out my mothers skillet from under the stairs in the old house and make some, but we will be without the farmers butter and buttermilk drink.
Thanks Peter for the memories.
All the best from
Paddy in Ireland.
From this side of the pond, Paddy, I’m glad it brought back so memories.
Thank you Cathy for the addition of your beautiful poem, to an already wonderful video. Cheers.
Thank you very much, I’ll pass on your kind words to Cathy.
If ever there was once
A most gracious and blessed couple

What an absolutely wonderful poem, thanks for sharing.

And a grand song from the island it is. Thanks for your interest.
I'm just imagining this setting, sitting fireside by candlelight after a hard day's work and a hearty meal. I don't think I'd need Netflix!!!
You right, sleep is the best entertainment after a hard days work.
What a wonderful meal. I’ve never heard of it. Sounds great though. Thanks my friend for all your great videos. God bless y’all. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!
Great video, Peter. Love that cabin! We make a dish with cabage sausage potatoes onions and apples. Half Irish myself. Started my cabage seeds two days ago.

Peter, I enjoyed the video, and was pleased that Cathy and cooking was the order of the day…. Greetings from Melbourne…..
Given my lack of success hunting it was a good thing, lol.
I’m 62, and from Liverpool in U.K. and I make colcannon in much the same way. Absolutely delicious. Ireland is just a quick swim across the Irish Sea or a few hours by ferry lol 😂 love your content.

I never lack an appetite that’s for sure!

My engine needs lots of fuel, that’s for sure!

What a great family time sitting by the fire eating and visiting and sharing the poem. How blessed. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Nice seeing your wife in the video instead of just running to camera I make that dish all the time didn’t know it was Irish just that I liked it.
I agree, it’s good to see her on the other side of the camera.
Thank you for sharing Peter and Cathy!
Our pleasure and thanks for watching.
Another awesome episode, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is just delightful. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I love the crackling fire, reminds me of home. Growing up we always had a wood stove going in the winter.
Nothing more soothing in my opinion.
I have never tried Colcannon. I don't think I have ever even heard of it, but it sounds delicious. Now I have to try it.
You’ll not be disappointed!
You making me hungry! I got to try that one, bacon and onions fried up with cabbage and all mixed with mashed potatoes.
Hard to go wrong!
Super gemacht, vielen lieben Dank dafür 👍 Siggi und Anne ❤️🎹🔔
Our pleasure, thank you for your interest.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your live history videos
Thanks, Earl.
You are welcome my friend
My favorite Irish "comfort food"!! I've never had the chance to make it at such a fine hearth though!
It is indeed the perfect comfort food!
Good job on the logs . Sure works up an appetite
That it does … coming along, one log at a time.
Love this one Peter and Cathy. Mouth is watering here! We Irish are a hardy bunch and made do with what we had. Love to you both .Sister Pat
You should give it a try it is absolutely delicious!
I've often eaten cabbage with corn beef hash and loved it! I will include this recipe to my collection! Thank you guys!
Our pleasure! Definitely give this one a try!
Wow what a great meal to come home to, colcannon is one of my favorites me being originally from that part of the world. Lots of hard labor of love to come on the fort. I'm looking forward to watching your progress 👍
It is a darn fine meal indeed. Appreciate your interest in our channel.
That meal looked very delicious, my mouth was watering as you prepared it. Thank you, Cathy.
You are so welcome
Thanks for sharing such a lovely meal! I hope someday to join you!
I would very much like that, Rick.
Peter this video did one thing for me…..made me hungry!!! 😁 Especially since I was just in Ireland in September. Great video as always. Keep ‘em coming!
It was a fine meal indeed. With no rabbit it would have been bread and cheese.
Another wonderful installment!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you friend for another great video keep up the good work and please keep the great videos coming from Scotland 😊
Thanks 👍, from this side of the pond, appreciate your support.
Wow, that meal looks delicious. Just starting to get into !8th century re-enacting. I want to portray a long hunter/ Indian scout but can not decide if I should get a rifle or smoothbore.
Welcome to a fascinating hobby. The smoothbore was certainly the most common and far mor versatile.
Peter and Cathy,
My grandmother used to make that, but I never knew what it was called. Brings back kind memories of my youth. I think I will make it soon for my family. Thank you!
Your family will thank you for preparing such an inexpensive, easy and delicious recipe.
That looks like a fine meal, thanks for sharing!
It was, you should give it a try.
such a nice way to live
It really is, plain and simple!
Great progress. Thanks for the dish, I'm going to try it,being Irish myself. Man the fort,be safe,God bless.
Hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for your interest.
Simple food is the best! That looked so tasty! I want to go make some now!
So good, you’ll not be disappointed!
Fantastic video Peter and Kathy, great poem, and I remember my Grandmother making that dish. We still have it occasionally ( I should say I do, as my wife is not that big a fan of cabbage unless it is in jiggs dinner). Thanks ,and keep your powder dry
Many thanks. How can one not like cabbage? Watch yer top knot.
Lovely.
Thank you.
Great video! Colcannon sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Give it a try … easy and delicious.
Excellent Peter!
Thank you.
Oh, Peter and Cathy! You remind me so much of my Grans. (I'm 78 y old, thus I have great memories of my McReynolds maternal background and their stories. Much obliged for your efforts and to your historic references. Blessings and Joy to you both and to yours! [By he way, Cathy; Having witnessed the poem/song you read, I have committed it to memory this eve. Many thanks 🤠 ]
I must say, you’ve a better memory than I! If I tried hard, I might memorize it in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the kind words.
Awesome and a yee bit for momma....Keep vids coming me Irish brother
Thank you, will do. And hello from this side of the pond.
that dish can't get any better!!!!!
You got that right!
Another great video with extra added treat of a fine poem.
Thank you kindly!
Save a plate for me! :)
I did and will bring it down in May!
We have made Colcannon ourselves, such a delightful food!! Coming right along with your log peeling. Blessings.
One log at a time!
Our family leaves fried cabbage. I'll have to see if the Mrs can make us up a batch of that colcannon. It looked delicious.
Well - such an easy to follow video - why not surprise your Mrs? :)
You know, I could probably do that.
Definitely one to treat the family too.
We eat this often. It's one of our favorite recipes. We also love apples and sausage. It's another 1700s recipe.
Sounds great, I’ll have to look that one up.
@@TheWoodlandEscape there is a video. George Washington's Mount Vernon. I usually don't make the gravy. I just put salt, pepper, and nutmeg. I also put one chopped onion in it too. The Mount Vernon recipe only has sausage and apples.
@@swatson1190 Sounds delicious!
Was that Peter doing a wee bit of filming in the cabin? Love it, keep up the good work, both!
Yup, you can tell, the quality is not the same as Cathy’s.
Is there a video showing the sleeping arrangements?
If you go to our playlist there is an episode titled, “Where do we Sleep”.
I just wish I could come up and help. It’s be a blast.
Love to host you.
Well this video made me hungry and that's ok because supper is about ready unfortunately its not colcannon thanks Peter and Cathy i enjoy watching your channel and learn most often something new
You should give this recipe a try, it cheap, easy to make and delicious.
Love it!! One of my favorites!!!
Mine too!
Sublime.😊
Glad you found it so. Thanks for watching.
Looked like wonderful comfortable times 👍
Any time spent in a slower, simpler manner is indeed wonderful.
Colcannon...hmmm. I've made similar just throwing those ingredients together but I didn't mash the potatoes... Must that wee bit of Irish blood that flows thru my veins, lol. Thanks again for an enjoyable video.
And thank you for your continued support.
I'd love to see a collaboration between you and Justine on Early American channel.
Might just come to fruition, Cathy and i are attending their wedding in May … making the trek from Upper Canada to Missouri.
I haven't had colcannon since I was little, and I am 74, guess what I just added to my grocery list? Yup ingredients for colannon.
Enjoy, it’s a grand meal.
Now that looks just tasty
It is a recipe that is, inexpensive, easy and delicious!
Howdy Peter
close to my supper time and belly is hungry ... even more after watching ..Lol
Had cabbage and bacon one time few years back cooked like that .... will try what Cathy made sounds and looks better .
Rabbit would be nice with the Colcannon .... maybe tomorrow . Good luck .
You’ll not be disappointed with this meal.
Appreciate your efforts and dedication. Really enjoyed this cooking video. How can you go wrong with bacon grease and butter!!! Thanks again and keep your powder dry!!
You got that right. Watch yer top knot!

Think I’ll give it a try sounds good
You’ll not be disappointed, Roger.
So enjoyable. Thank you.

There has been a big decline and I suspect you’ve hit both nails on the head with your thoughts.
Food looks good.I am being nosy but if you have to move grand kids in there if thy fall on hard times, do you have a non period wood stove on hand to be more wood and heat efficient? I picked up a few for my tack room and work shop in case.
I did indeed have a couple of stoves should the whole world go crazy… might need them.
That block house got me thinking on a previous video about bunks and how cold it would be in there. We heat with a modern kitchen cook stove and watch your breath fog in the videos, settlers were tough people. @@TheWoodlandEscape
@@terrynoraturner1848 Indeed they were . However, when I put the tick down in front of the fire place banked with good coals, I’m snug as a bug in a rug until morning. Also the loft is quite warm.
As long as we can both cut a years worth of wood by hand we will be warm.@@TheWoodlandEscape
@@terrynoraturner1848 That old joke comes to mind , one heat cutting and splitting it and one heat burning it.
Cathy's cooking by the fire has my stomach growling; I wish YT had 'smellovision'! lol
Peter, better luck next time getting a rabbit to jump out of the bush and onto the spit.
I eat lots of rabbits, so this meal was a lovely break.
Wonderful video! Do you leave your musket charged?
Not at public events , but if there is a legal season open I do, regardless of the animal or bird that is in season.
