+chuckithelumberjack what's wrong with boiled meat? whenever i make stew/soup i always brown the meat first, but that doesn't mean that boiled meat is automatically bad. one of my favorite korean foods is bo-ssam (basically boiled pork belly wraps), and it's fucking delicious.
Though I’m not American or British, I was watching British Heritage when I thought “hmm... let me see if Americans made a historical RUclips channel” and found you! Thanks for the quality content. 😂
yes, Americans have made every kind of RUclips channel, before anyone else ever has. Americans also invented the internet and RUclips itself. Were you aware of those facts?
Add a bit more water, some cubed bacon and some flour mixed with still boiling melted pork fat to that pea stew, and you will have polish "Military pea soup" :) It should be so thick, a spoon would stand upright in it. Of course now our army eats more refined dishes. But it is a traditional and still beloved staple of any military celebration in the field, prepared for the civilians in mobile field kitchens in mass quantities. We do have civilian versions of this soup of course - they are a lot less extreme :D
On this episode, we, uh, will be showing you the proper method for conducting a cannon volley in an eighteenth century manner. Egghead, ah, USA has volunteered his house for the testing range.

Soup that is just peas and water is horrible, but it can be improved greatly by adding diced onion, sliced carrots and some bits of ham, if you have them. Also, I like it fairly thick: one cup of peas to three cups of water.
It's nice to see that the Government funded 79 trillion dollars to the James Townsend project to bring forth a time traveling machine. The machine, in which he uses, to bring us these pure, unadulterated, recipe videos from the 18th century.
This is my new favorite channel!!! All the food looks so interesting and ironically really good! I'm sure much better for us than the poor soldiers who had to eat it. I'll be telling everyone about this channel!! :)
@@townsends if I was alive in the 18th century and in America somehow since my ansctors where from India. Hindustan I would add some spices from India peppercorn cloves Masla cumin.
I feel like you'd be pretty dang lucky to know someone who cooked like this in the 18th century. I bet most dishes weren't timeless bangers like he's made here. You could make this 200 years in the future and it'd still earn complements to the chef.
I love coming back to these older episodes. It's great seeing how much you've improved without drastically changing your presentation and overall format. Many years of consistency all while managing to keep it interesting.
Got here from the salt pork video, continuously impressed and fascinated by the research you’ve done and the care you’ve taken to share these old cooking details, thank you so much!!
I mean that's why I clicked. I'm so bored of the glut of gaming videos and tech videos. It's more interesting to see someone do something unique that they enjoy.
6:18 “It may not look great…” Are you kidding? I wanted that on my plate the moment I saw it! It was the one that looked the most appetizing to me out of the other dishes in the video.
West Point cadets of the early 1800's often made hash late at night (after hours). The future General William Tecumsah Sherman was said to be a excellent hash maker.
Pulses that were stored poorly on ships could become mouldy/rancid or take on bad flavours or become infested with insect larvae. Add some salt pork that may have been sketchy to begin with and you can imagine the flavour would have been waxy, oxidised and very off putting, hence the name i imagine
Channels on RUclips could not get any classier than Townsends! Great content, professionalism, quality of filming and producing, educational and you can clearly see that this man is of exceptional character who lives his life with the highest levels of values, principles and concern for his fellow human beings. thank you for you videos Townsends!!

This is one of those channels that would be fun to watch high. Some guy dressed up like Washington cooking outside for 3 hours, eating hash with half a twisted hanger and pulling leaves out of a mint tin. Wild
I’m 26 years old, your typical guy at this age, definitely never been into any sort of nerdy 1800s cooking channel but I find myself watching your videos in full every time I see them, I don’t cook even modern days meals other than basics let alone anything from the 1800s but something about your channel makes watching your content so enjoyable so thanks for that - even at night, this channel is the perfect way to end the night and get myself to bed
No surprise, but this reminds me of Norwegian _lapskaus_, which is a thick stew made from meat (often salted) and vegetables, and essentially a thicker version of the clear meat and vegetable soup. (Indeed, the main difference between soup and lapskaus is usually how much the potatoes fall apart while cooking.) Thyme works very well in this dish, whether it ends up being a soup or a stew.
Interesting. Here in Northern Germany "Labskaus" is a weird dish made from mashed potatoes and red beet, herring and a fried egg ^^ Tastes pretty good, but looks like someone threw up a bloody mess ;) I guess this dish is somewhat Norwegian, then, as it seems untypical for Germany.

No no, don't be foolish, they just used a hand-cranked camera. Because they didn't have electricity yet. In fact, it was Benjamin Franklin who invented the first hand-cranked film camera.

Sounds like fun, makes you want to go camping. Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite things when growing up was to cook over an open fire. When my kids were little I used to cook pumpkin in a cast iron pot on our wood stove, for fun. The pumpkin always tasted sweet and that was without adding sugar. My kids are grown now and I do not have a wood stove anymore, but I still use cast iron frying pans for a lot of my cooking. Thank you again I very much enjoyed your video. Sometimes I wish the world still cooked that way.
That looked good. I like making patties of the Hash. Think I may do that myself with my Hash type foods. The spices though, including Pepper, would they be available?
christopher snedeker Look up the album, “Irish Dance,” by Craig Duncan. A lot of what you hear in these videos is on there. Also look up The Celt’s version of the song, “Drowsie Maggie.” Just a little recommendation of mine. 😉
Nah man, it makes you HUNGRIER lol. I got up and went and made dinner for the whole family after watching some of these. Binging on Townsend is dangerous!
i've been following your channel and have been making some of this stuff your way and ingredients on my kitchen. The kids love this stuff! I never tell them where I learned the recipe. }=]
The addition of vinegar to the soup reminds us of the Romanian way of making “ciorbas”, soups to which vinegar was added, giving them a quite distinct taste! Great to see all three dishes in one video!
I always use vinegar in my soups also. I didn't quite understand what point there was to waste valuable pocket salt in the soup when he just spent hours removing salt from the salt pork. It would be more practical to leave the salt pork salty and then boil it. Salt will ooze out and pocket salt is saved.
I'm starting to think this wasn't filmed in the 18th century.

The term would be hardtack. It's basically preserved bread.
Sometimes they threw it in to thicken the stew.

I can't unsee that now.
Such a well put together video. Always love seeing this mans recipes
Sounds like fun, makes you want to go camping. Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite things when growing up was to cook over an open fire. When my kids were little I used to cook pumpkin in a cast iron pot on our wood stove, for fun. The pumpkin always tasted sweet and that was without adding sugar. My kids are grown now and I do not have a wood stove anymore, but I still use cast iron frying pans for a lot of my cooking. Thank you again I very much enjoyed your video. Sometimes I wish the world still cooked that way.
Oh man... Looks amazing.
Geez when did they find time to fight time you cook and clean up breakfast it was time to start lunch and on into dinner.
Simple, you just didn’t eat as much.
That looked good. I like making patties of the Hash. Think I may do that myself with my Hash type foods. The spices though, including Pepper, would they be available?
I’m no-joke excited to go make that salt pork soup. Love your products and the videos! Thanks for these.
I love the traditional Irish Music in the background. “Maid Behind the Bar,” is one of my favorite ones you play here.
christopher snedeker Look up the album, “Irish Dance,” by Craig Duncan. A lot of what you hear in these videos is on there. Also look up The Celt’s version of the song, “Drowsie Maggie.” Just a little recommendation of mine. 😉
3:26 that is my jam. A real head banger.
Thank god he picked that piece of pork up off the rock and put it in the pan. That would have annoyed me to no end.
.....ditto, neighbor! :-)
A little ash never hurt anyone; in fact, it's good for digestion. They cooked bread directly in the ash back then. Check out his Ash Cakes video.
Yeah, but then he dropped that one piece of potato or onion and left it...still driving me crazy...
But that potato!!
This is amazingly delicious to watch when you're high.
loser
yeah
Jeff ...Yes we all know you are a loser.
Maybe he will cover a 18th Century Meat Lover's Pizza one day.
Nah man, it makes you HUNGRIER lol. I got up and went and made dinner for the whole family after watching some of these. Binging on Townsend is dangerous!
i've been following your channel and have been making some of this stuff your way and ingredients on my kitchen. The kids love this stuff! I never tell them where I learned the recipe. }=]
The addition of vinegar to the soup reminds us of the Romanian way of making “ciorbas”, soups to which vinegar was added, giving them a quite distinct taste!
Great to see all three dishes in one video!
I always use vinegar in my soups also. I didn't quite understand what point there was to waste valuable pocket salt in the soup when he just spent hours removing salt from the salt pork. It would be more practical to leave the salt pork salty and then boil it. Salt will ooze out and pocket salt is saved.
