less a mistake and more complete fuckery the lady can't cook her way out of a paper bag much less follow the simplest chicken pot pie recipe from the 1910's
I didn't know that, either, and I was taught to cook by" eyeing" measurements and tasting. I agree with whoever said the knowledge gets passed down and the person who said to use common knowledge.
The recipes were intentionally vague then, because people were proud of the food they made and no one wanted to give another person all the directions and ability to cook "their" original recipe.. In addition, some ingredients became rare at times and recipes had to be easily altered. I would have made some kind of sauce or gravy.
I think it was more to do with making the recepie more versatile so it could be adopted from place to place where some ingredients may not be available. Also it was the 1900's cooking wasn't so scientific and precise and raw material not easily available so recepies which were vague but versatile would be ideal
Dorothy Worrell What you postulated just isn't true. I'm sorry. The reason there are so few directions in recipes from long ago is because girls grew up learning to cook from a very young age. They studied their mums and grandmums, and usually by 8 or 10 could cook almost anything. So the lack of direction is because it wasn't needed. Young women knew how to cook already. A recipe simply gave ingredients, few instructions on prep (because they already knew what to do) and longevity of cooking. Stoves and ovens certainly weren't as easy to moderate as now. Usually heated with wood or coal it was really difficult to moderate. It Every young woman knew how big a "knob of butter the size of a walnut" was. They cooked by the feel of something, the smell but mostly just by eyeballing it. I've been cooking for over 50 yrs and that's how I cook. By the look of what I'm making, the smell and lastly taste. My mum was a professional cook for 35 years, so cooking with mum, both helping at home and working with her in the kitchens she managed, was a wonderful education for me. I was cooking whole meals at 8yo. Mainly because my mum was a cook in restaurants so wasn't home to make meals.
I think people take things too way literal now days, because listening to this recipe i knew exactly what I would do... back then it was assumed that the women knew how to cook already (probably from their mothers) and the recipe was a basic guide, everything else was to taste or what you wanted to add in... When my grandma or mother gave a recipe, especially something savory, they never used measuring cups or portions, theyed either show you about how much, or I could figure out what they ment because i already was familiar with spices, herbs and and portions from watching them and experience.... But people dont do things like that anymore i guess... Ashame... Those were the best memories.
JonVieSays like when it said some celery, its based on preference right? Because I cook with my mom and we basicly just pour and mix, dont measure very often 😅
Same. I learned how much just by watching my grandmother. When people ask for the recipe I give a list of ingredients but no measurements. To me it’s just common sense you need to figure out how much of each thing you need
my mom is always like 'little bit of that and a little bit of this' and adds way more than what someone would think a little bit is but I get what she means. She dumps everything into the pan without measuring and it always comes out glorious.
A few simple modifications, and that wouldn't be too bad. Proper seasoning, a bechamel, some bacon, carrots, onions, and a proper pot pie. It would be like clam chowder in a bread bowl, but with chicken.
*facepalm* ... ok, because I have more experience in cooking, especially budget cooking, I understand this recipe. They wrote recipes down like that to save ink and paper space and because most women back then had more experience in cooking than people of today, so "some celery" and "add chicken" was meant as adding what you had in whatever pan you wanted, as long as things fit. It's under seasoned because salt and pepper cost more than it does today and the everyperson did not have access to other spices unless grown themselves. Also, rinse the oysters so most shell pieces come out. Mix the flour and water together then pour in the pan, it's what makes the gravy. And yes you are suppose to cube the butter up.
A Nixson oh wow look pal been cooking since age 10 and a recipe that say SOME gets a hard pass bc some could be any amount other than one or two some is like 3+ also canned oysters stink and taste like rubber but if you can't get fresh....salt and pepper was not that expensive (I asked my 92 yr old grandma ) it was other herbs that were expensive ....
RIght on. Anyone who looks at a recipe like this and gets confused either needs more practice cooking or needs to understand that cooking is not following recipes as much as understanding the underlying nature of what you're doing and the likely result. I would look at this recipe and build off of it. Chicken would be brined in salt and sugar, pounded out and pan seared prior to cutting, probably to about 130F in the center. Sautee celery (add a touch of yellow onions with also any of carrots, peas, or bell pepper), make a basic white sauce (roux + milk), season everything to taste. Mix sauce, eggs, chicken, oysters, celery together and adjust based on thickness. Puff pastry on top and bake at 400 until pastry is done. This is a very simple and classic style recipe, and it's just sad watching this girl being totally inept at everything involved.
All of the comments are about how bad they thought the cook was, it's really disheartening because there is barely any constructive criticism without insults being thrown in
The constant giggling showed she didn't care to try hard anyway. Basically this whole clips was just not very good. Clearly had to be cheap. A few dry chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, canned oysters? That's just waiting for a disaster.
The problem was it is clear they didn’t actually do their research. Food history is well documented and the reason everyone is criticizing the cook is because it’s clear she didn’t do the basic research for a video of this type.
she didn't try to seriously engage with another era's tastes with an open mind, nor did she add salt, or use better quality ingredients, or following some simple basic instructions in the recipe like using a whole chicken (which would absolutely taste better). So, she basically did a bad job, video isn't even funny nor is it especially educational
They said to parboil a chicken. I am pretty sure that that meant an entire chicken. They didn't say to parboil a couple of packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Pretty sure boneless skinless breasts only became a thing around the 1980's. If you had done an entire chicken then at least you would get the skin to help flavor it. Not sure that that would make it taste better but I imagine it couldn't have made it worse.
They should get a professional chef to try and remake this with an actual whole chicken, fresh oysters, and home made puff pastry and let them all retry it
Mindy S yeah. She was being sarcastic toward it rather trying it for the sake of knowledge. It wasn't fun for a person like me. Disrespecting the recipe making fun of it's for no reason. It could've been better if some parsley and lemon juice too were added.
no they aren't. culture isn't going to really evolve too much more in the terms of food etc. in the future people would love to have a fresh starbucks frapp but when coffee prices rise and fresh foods start becoming harder to come by and people are eating dehydrated crap...they would kill to have a colorful extravagant and useless rainbow drink.
Our trendy recipes will look gross to people in the future. I imagine food will look more natural in the future and we'll go back to the classics. It flip flops with every decade.
Kissa Deff lmao "you snowflakes are overly wussified" says the guy who typed a whole angry paragraph as a response to a strangers comment 😂😂 take an ambien or something jeez
A chicken has 2 breasts. It also has wings, thighs, drumsticks etc. The point is that back there they wouldn't have had precut chicken items, they would have used exactly what was in the recipe....one whole chicken. It's not a hard concept to grasp that when following a recipe you actually follow it
Geez why is everyone so mean to this poor girl... she’s making due with what she was provided and making comments along the way. She followed the recipe she was given, and it didn’t turn out well. It happens.
What are you getting out of being so negative? What’s she ever done to you besides not follow a recipe correctly? You can offer constructive criticism if you want obviously, it’s always appreciated, but what’s the point in being negative about it? If people want to improve it’s usually best to give criticism in a way that they can actually learn from it, rather than just be hurt by it.
Marco I. Domínguez ummmmmmmm, she actually does know how to cook. Baking is definitely not her forte but if you’ve seen any of the other cooking (not baking) videos she’s done, it becomes clear to see.
Ash O: Even without being told, I knew it was a recipe for chicken pot pie. That tastes pretty good without exotic spices. They were still relatively expensive back then, and people from that period did not always approve of spices. They thought they were unhealthy. My 80 year old relative still thinks pepper is a bad thing and complains bitterly about any spices in her food.
Just scrolling along the comments. And I just need to leave my thoughts here. 1.) It's just a video following a recipe in 1910, don't get all triggered and question a person's skills or common sense. Nobody here is born in that era so no rude opinion privilege for you. Just enjoy the video. We get it you guys knows a thing or two more than the chef in the video, but being straight up rude shows how arrogant you are. 2.) The video actually isn't like in tasty where the chef can think what went wrong and is given days to trial and error methods to make it perfect. She's SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW EVERY instructions. She mostly baked as I have noticed in her tasty videos which is probably the reason for her lack in knowledge to some stuffs you guys are very much bitching about. 3.) You obviously don't get how buzzfeed operates. Some videos of theirs don't actually have to be perfect and professional since they target the general audience who typically watches youtube videos to past time which means some people watching don't have basic culinary skills (like me) and just want to watch bizarre videos to past time. The chef in the video obviously knows how to cook (don't judge her immediately just because she didn't perform like you expect her to be). Furthermore, even the world's best chefs don't know recipes from decades ago. Give the chef a pass for not being born in 1910. In conclusion, there's no space for your rude asses opinions since the video's done. Let us enjoy the content they post peacefully and if you don't like the video. Just click away.
It's fine if you don't have basic culinary skills, but unless this is a gag video it's natural to expect that someone you yourself refer to repeatedly as a "chef" who is producing a video on a food enthusiast channel called "Tasty" should have some basic culinary skills. Judging by this video however, her cooking skills are pretty underwhelming; even pastry chefs learn the basic of other stations before specializing. And yet the "punchline" seems to come at the expense of the recipe rather than the cook, somewhat unfairly so given the preparation. Some people simply wanted to see a genuine good effort put into making an old fashioned dish.
I think the recipes back then were not very detailed because they assumed that people making them had a certain amount of cooking experience. A chicken means a whole chicken. Good try, though. It probably tasted bad even when they made it in 1910, tbh.
Exactly. If you ever have the opportunity, try to watch Christopher Kimball's special "Fanny's Last Supper" where modern cooks (actual cooks I mean) prepare a full dinner from Fanny Farmers Cooking School in Boston using only methods from that time period, including cooking on a wood stove. It gives you a sense of how skilled cooks really had to be back then and how much they were expected to know, and why they were often the most highly paid staff members.
Never has a tasty video convince me they don't know what they're doing more than this one. They used chicken breast when I'm sure in the original recipe they would have used a whole chicken and I'm sure they were also using fresh oysters. I'm not saying it would have been great, but they didn't even try to make it properly.
MsBellaFate a tin of oysters back then was basically fresh oysters. they were harvested, canned, packed in ice and shipped (usually) by rail to their destination. they'd get there that day or the next and then be sold and consumed. nothing at all compared to the oysters that sit on shelves in grocery stores today chocked with preservatives. in this case, fresh oysters should have been used.
Why did you use canned oysters? If it’s a true 1910 recipe and oysters were abundant back then, it would have been fresh oyster. So the reason why it didn’t taste good is that you use canned instead of fresh ingredients.
Not, really. canned oysters were widely used, for the same reasons we use them today: they were cheap, didn't spoil, time saving and they were sold in all drugstores. For the fresh ones you needed a fish market, buy the ice and crush it to keep them and you didnt have a freezer to keep the ice.
Rosie Muffins do Buzzfeed also pay for Worth It? If so, based on what some of those meals cost, I don’t see why they couldn’t shell out for some fresh oysters. YES THE PUN WAS INTENDED
or mix the flour with the milk and then mix that in with the chicken and oysters....seem like she is deliberately f**king this dish up......She said she likes to cook but I guess she is not very good at it.....
For everyone talking about the oysters and chicken: The chicken I’ll give you. The oysters, however, have additional factors to be considered: The dish would have been off no matter what. This dish was most popular on the east coast (seafood in general was) and Tasty is on the west coast. The oysters themselves would taste different; the general rule on oysters is that east coast ones are saltier and more like the sea and west coast ones are sweeter. Seems like a minor difference, but for a lot of people it makes it breaks if they like them. (I do recommend you try a different coast if you didn’t like them, for example my father and I will only order/eat east coast simply because we don’t like the sweetness) It really depends on where the canned oysters were sourced, but if they were actual “east coast” oysters (which seems the more likely of the two simply because of the bias towards seafood there) then going by flavor it was actually closer. That’s just my two cents though.
I don't think electricity in the home was commonplace, and refrigerators weren't really available until the 50s. So the chickens would probably have been alive and squalking in the backyard.... So, the cook would be catching and slaughtering a live chicken which is probably a lot more flavorful than the prepackaged factory-farmed birds we're used to eating.
kennyfnpowers707 for large animals, yes. But I think slaughtering chickens would be pretty normal for the average blue collar housewife. The wealthy would have hired people to do the cooking and whatever else for them.
I loved the comments section!! I'm totally on board with another antique recipe, just not with this “host." I wouldn't trust her with a butter knife and a microwave.
Dave, I think it's safe to say an average person, upon seeing "some celery," would assume celery to taste without having to ask how much celery is some celery. I also think an average person would know that the tablespoon of butter would need to be cubed and distributed evenly, rather than just guessing and then complaining about how the recipe isn't as detailed as it should be because "like, there's no internet in those days."
Ya'll are taking this way too seriously--this is obviously intended to entertain, and it's equally obvious that the host is playing up her confusion for laughs.
I feel like none of the people in this comments section have seen any other videos with Alix in... She's the sweetest! Watch some of the "behind Tasty" videos that's she's in. She's so lovely and fun to watch!
Courage and Kindness even if she is really sweet..which she most likely is, it doesn't change the fact that in this video she appears to have zero cooking skills
이한을 Yes, if you don't swear full allegiance to every crap video Buzzfeed produces, you have no right to exist or to participate on RUclips, right? Idiot.
when it says to parboil a chicken, it actually means a chicken - whole chicken - it does NOT say chicken parts. any cook should know that dark meat has much more flavor than white meat, so you basically put only a few pieces of the MOST TASTELESS chicken parts in there instead of following the recipe.
It would also be assumed that; the oysters were fresh, not canned and that you would mix the flour/ milk before adding. Still would need a LOT of work before being "delicious", but oyster stuffing is a classic American tradition. Yes, oysters stuffed in Turkey or Chicken
So many things wrong with this 1. Whole chicken includes dark meat and possibly organ meat, much more flavor in those things. 2. Fresh oysters smell and taste light, like ocean water. That's probably what they were assuming you were getting. 3. Of course they don't have a temp, IT WAS THE 1910's so there were no damn thermometers in yo oven, you just put your hand up to it like "yeah that works". 4. I'm surprised they had cayenne, most people in that time didn't have a damn spice cabinet and were lucky to have salt and coffee. So respect the cayenne its probably like the quinoa of that time. 5. That chicken was not parboiled, it was overcooked. Alright rant done.
Fatima Aaliyah Yes, how in the world could a professional who produces cooking videos for a living be expected to know what a complicated term like " moderate oven" means????
Instead of criticizing the lack of specificity on the recipe, why didn't she just use however much of each ingredient she wanted to her own individual taste? "Some celery" could mean as much or as little as you want. Perhaps "a chicken" is a whole chicken. Use some common sense when given a recipe! ^_^"
Because that's how they teach you how to cook nowadays. You have to give the EXACT measurements. Even Gordon Ramsay gets bothered when he doesn't get an EXACT measurement. (I'm not defending them. I'm being sarcastic, though it's true, even the bit about Gordon Ramsay.)
Same ingredients... Lightly saute the celery in butter, add flour, cook one minute, add milk, bring to boil, add chopped chicken and chopped oysters, season, then bake as before in the crust. Maybe add diced boiled potatoes and replace some of the celery with onion. Needs black pepper too.
Stephanie know's what's up. :) I love cooking veggies in my butter before I turn it into bachemel ^_^ tbh, I think most of that was implied in the recipe, because it was written for housewives who spent their whole lives cooking, they'd probably know you don't just chuck the butter on top of dry flour and whole oysters lol
The Divine Protector Of Mangos It’s called simmering/poaching which happens around 180F the chicken would still be done and the recipe said PAR-boil. The only important part is heating the food in water, so you can finish it in another way.
stinky wizzleteats I found the video to be funny and entertaining. And I didn’t see any claim that she is a professional. And if only professional cooked, most people wouldn’t eat. There are hundreds of RUclips channels where you can watch professional chefs. I watch those too. They’re very informative. And sometimes it’s fun to watch a regular everyday cook try cooking something and add humor to it.
Love that she was confused at there not being a set amount of chicken, that would be because it says "a chicken" as in a whole one? Bones and all 😊 Plus I don't think there was canes of oysters back in 1910 so of course it didn't say to drain it 😂
@@GEMOTO I'm only 22 and don't cook for a living (just enjoy to) and I figured it out! But no hate, I really like her videos! I just made the comment so others watching may understand that it may not of been so gross as a whole chicken and fresh oysters would add more flavor 😊
A lot of these really old recepies assume the person reading already knows cooking and the basic recepies because, lets be fair, it was almost mandatory for women to know how to cook back then and everyone expected that.
I don't know what you are up to but not all of us eat Mountain Dew flavoured jello for every meal. Believe it or not but a lot of products are not processed or chemically altered in any way
Man, I wish this took off...It's a really cool concept. I think checking out how people ate through out the decades would be really funny. like that time the greg on American Housewife mad the colonial onion pie.
Aside from the gill thing, which is just weird old-timey talk, all of this is the kind of basic culinary knowledge you can't get out of a high school home ec class without knowing. If her lack of knowledge is relatable to you, you should probably do something to help yourself. Nobody should be this incompetent in a kitchen. It's just sad.
Payton Fischer Lots of people don't know how to cook. While it's a good skill to have, it's super common to not know how, and home ec is not required in all schools anymore. People have to take time to learn how to cook, which lots of people don't consider a priority.
Back in the day every woman (with the exception of the very rich) knew how to cook. Some better than others, sure, but every wife, mother and single woman knew how to cook. They had no choice.
The reason recipes from over a hundred years ago were so "vague" is that they were meant for people who already knew how to cook, and were basically just outlines. The writers assumed those reading would understand what they meant, because they generally DID. The recipes weren't meant for addled-brained nitwits trying to look cute by doing something they're not qualified even to attempt.

You should try the 30s because it would be interesting to see what they made during the depression.
Kake YT theres a YT channel of an old lady that showed those kinds of recipes
Jessie Gonzalez what's it called
Victor Zhang it’s called Great Depression cooking and the lady’s name is Clara, she’s wonderful
unfortunately she passed away a few years ago
just look up CollegeHumor’s Basically A Meal lmao
I don’t see the comments that is harsh I see comments like “dang everyone is so harsh”
1930s Depression Era recipes would be interesting.
edannat oh boy
Syrup sandwiches
edannat a whole lot of coffee
There’s this sweet old grandma who make recipes from when she was a child during the Great Depression here on RUclips
Yes! Clara from Great Depression Cooking. I make her Poor Man's Meal all the time (although I just call it hot dog hash now).
Of course Ryan and Shane are together. They probably go to the bathroom together at this point.
ryland*
Shane? As in Shane Dawson?
Also, Ryland?
I’m so confused as to how this has to do with anything in the video
they meant the guys at 05:38 . their names are shane and ryan as well, they host a ghost/mystery show for buzzfeed
Alexa Kareny Their names are Shane madej and Ryan Bergara dude tf?
Lol. They would be married 5 yrs from now at this rate
why did everyone suddenly turn into Gordon Ramsay in this comment section?
NO IDEA
And who the f**k is gordon ramsay
Ikr, it's like they can't take people's mistake and only wants perfection.
less a mistake and more complete fuckery the lady can't cook her way out of a paper bag much less follow the simplest chicken pot pie recipe from the 1910's
Yeah the only difference is that they either don’t cook, can’t cook or isn’t up to her nor Gordon Ramsey’s level
oMystique omg yaaasss
i am not from 1910 but I know when they say moisten with flour and milk..you mix the flour with milk and pour it to the rest of the dish

I didn't know that, either, and I was taught to cook by" eyeing" measurements and tasting. I agree with whoever said the knowledge gets passed down and the person who said to use common knowledge.
what she did wrong? i dont understand
She threw flour on it, then milk. You're supposed to mix the flour and milk together, then pour that on top

Yeah, White chicken always make people proud. Just make sure it's not darker than brown paper bag.
rhijulbec1 ..both?

A few simple modifications, and that wouldn't be too bad. Proper seasoning, a bechamel, some bacon, carrots, onions, and a proper pot pie. It would be like clam chowder in a bread bowl, but with chicken.
But it wouldn't be a 1910 recipe, which is the purpose of this video.
I belive milk flour and water was some kind of a type of bechamel but she didn't mixed it together....
Right now strolling through the comment s and everyone turns into gordon Ramsey with his harsh judging OMG..
mubarakat alabi everyone is so rude
*Ramsay
*facepalm* ... ok, because I have more experience in cooking, especially budget cooking, I understand this recipe. They wrote recipes down like that to save ink and paper space and because most women back then had more experience in cooking than people of today, so "some celery" and "add chicken" was meant as adding what you had in whatever pan you wanted, as long as things fit.

Also, rinse the oysters so most shell pieces come out. Mix the flour and water together then pour in the pan, it's what makes the gravy. And yes you are suppose to cube the butter up.
A Nixson oh wow look pal been cooking since age 10 and a recipe that say SOME gets a hard pass bc some could be any amount other than one or two some is like 3+ also canned oysters stink and taste like rubber but if you can't get fresh....salt and pepper was not that expensive (I asked my 92 yr old grandma ) it was other herbs that were expensive ....
RIght on. Anyone who looks at a recipe like this and gets confused either needs more practice cooking or needs to understand that cooking is not following recipes as much as understanding the underlying nature of what you're doing and the likely result.
I would look at this recipe and build off of it. Chicken would be brined in salt and sugar, pounded out and pan seared prior to cutting, probably to about 130F in the center. Sautee celery (add a touch of yellow onions with also any of carrots, peas, or bell pepper), make a basic white sauce (roux + milk), season everything to taste. Mix sauce, eggs, chicken, oysters, celery together and adjust based on thickness. Puff pastry on top and bake at 400 until pastry is done.
This is a very simple and classic style recipe, and it's just sad watching this girl being totally inept at everything involved.
A Nixson plus use some dark meat too, and fresh oysters, dang
from what I've seen though, this girl does desserts more than stuff like this. cut her some slack.
The girl can cook yet cant make decent food.
It's kind of ironic when a Tasty producer of all people complains a recipe is too vague ;-)
IrianGaming 😂😂 shots fired
Parboil a chicken " it does not say how much chicken" it's a chicken ! One chicken .. not boneless , skinless breasts derrrr
Yeah dark meat and some skin will make it taste a lot different
All of the comments are about how bad they thought the cook was, it's really disheartening because there is barely any constructive criticism without insults being thrown in
Welcome to life in general
Nobody likes anybody anymore
Perhaps it was because she was the absolutely wrong person to be trying and presenting this recipe and she came across as an airhead.
The constant giggling showed she didn't care to try hard anyway.
Basically this whole clips was just not very good. Clearly had to be cheap. A few dry chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, canned oysters? That's just waiting for a disaster.
The problem was it is clear they didn’t actually do their research. Food history is well documented and the reason everyone is criticizing the cook is because it’s clear she didn’t do the basic research for a video of this type.
she didn't try to seriously engage with another era's tastes with an open mind, nor did she add salt, or use better quality ingredients, or following some simple basic instructions in the recipe like using a whole chicken (which would absolutely taste better). So, she basically did a bad job, video isn't even funny nor is it especially educational
They said to parboil a chicken. I am pretty sure that that meant an entire chicken. They didn't say to parboil a couple of packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Pretty sure boneless skinless breasts only became a thing around the 1980's. If you had done an entire chicken then at least you would get the skin to help flavor it. Not sure that that would make it taste better but I imagine it couldn't have made it worse.
Boiled skin doesn't give you extra flavor the bones and bone marrow and blood do.
matthew banta exactly; and also, "a chicken" would include the more tasty dark meat.
baffles me how she says she doesn't know how much chicken to add when the recipe states 'a chicken'.
I would expect a whole chicken and fresh oysters would definitely make this dish ten times better!
Also, a chicken without chlorine would be better
Should've used fresh oysters
Alex Chamberlayne ikr!
Hi there! I started a comedy cooking vlog and would greatly appreciate it if you checked it out and maybe even subscribed ;). Thanks, happy cooking.
fresh oysters don't have as much of that weird sea taste and smell
Should of used a whole chicken too
Jeremy Robbins agreed, way more flavor in a whole chicken and less likely they would have bought chicken in pieces like we do today.
I think she's so sweet
You should do more vids with this girl. She's the type that inserts a self-deprecating joke every 2 minutes during a 10 minute conversation 😂
They should get a professional chef to try and remake this with an actual whole chicken, fresh oysters, and home made puff pastry and let them all retry it
Mindy S yeah. She was being sarcastic toward it rather trying it for the sake of knowledge. It wasn't fun for a person like me. Disrespecting the recipe making fun of it's for no reason. It could've been better if some parsley and lemon juice too were added.
BUZZFEED supplies the ingredients for her. she has to make do with what they gave her. whole chickens and fresh oysters are expensive
A whole chicken isn't that expensive, compared to four breasts.
A whole chicken and some fresh oysters might cost about $20-$30, depending on where they were sourced. I wouldn't call that expensive.
+Rosie Muffins, they supply it based on what SHE asks for. LOL she's a freakin producer for tasty! She could def get ingredients if she tried.
Claims to cook a lot, is surprised when chicken turns white when put to a boil..
Sapling
She mainly bakes desert type dishes. I've never actually seen her cook a meal. I'm sure that's what she meant, I know she does love to bake.
Jesika Lopez your argument is invalid. Why? Because 0:10
IKR?. She obviously didn't cook because she would have known to warm the milk then whisk in the flour plus seasonings.
Missing alot of basics plus using packed chicken and canned oysters smh
I thought her reaction was weird too, like...duh
In the future people are gonna look back at our “rainbow” and “unicorn” recipes and be like wtf
no they aren't. culture isn't going to really evolve too much more in the terms of food etc. in the future people would love to have a fresh starbucks frapp but when coffee prices rise and fresh foods start becoming harder to come by and people are eating dehydrated crap...they would kill to have a colorful extravagant and useless rainbow drink.
Colourful extravagant rainbow drinks are the opposite of fresh food. And culture IS going to change, it always does.
Our trendy recipes will look gross to people in the future. I imagine food will look more natural in the future and we'll go back to the classics. It flip flops with every decade.
andres 😂😂😂👌
They wont. Those things arent an everyday food item. People today even said wtf to those
Try the 70's and go for that gelatinous goodness. A whole fish in gelatine, sided with gelatine salad.
Erik Loeffen I rember this being the 30’s not the 70’s on your comment wtf
Old recipes assume you know howto do things like making a flour and milk sauce how to season food.
Amber Boone haha right? And shocker, they didn't have temp gauges on their ovens in 1910.
They were also just more note-like for themselves and family, so if you had a question you could just ask your mom, the one who wrote it down lol
Vague? Under seasoned? Random and weird? This aptly describes the last two years of Buzzfeed's video content.
AskYourButcher 😂😂
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I choked on air
Hahahaha shots fired!
That BUURRN!
"Parboil a chicken"
It means to actually... Dunk a whole chicken in and poach/ not quite boil
It's my own fault for going to comments right away. But sometimes y'all ruin the experience before I watch the video...
Kissa Deff lmao "you snowflakes are overly wussified" says the guy who typed a whole angry paragraph as a response to a strangers comment 😂😂 take an ambien or something jeez
Kissa Deff lol stfu
Alix has the most beautiful smile. Her whole face lights up.
"parboil A chicken"
"I have no idea how much chicken to use"
Off to a great start at following a recipe
Right? Like isn't it obvious that the recipe is talking about a whole chicken? Why would they have pre-packaged chicken pieces in 1910?
Maybe a chicken has lots of breast
😂😂😂
A chicken has 2 breasts. It also has wings, thighs, drumsticks etc. The point is that back there they wouldn't have had precut chicken items, they would have used exactly what was in the recipe....one whole chicken. It's not a hard concept to grasp that when following a recipe you actually follow it
Geez why is everyone so mean to this poor girl... she’s making due with what she was provided and making comments along the way. She followed the recipe she was given, and it didn’t turn out well. It happens.
What are you getting out of being so negative? What’s she ever done to you besides not follow a recipe correctly? You can offer constructive criticism if you want obviously, it’s always appreciated, but what’s the point in being negative about it? If people want to improve it’s usually best to give criticism in a way that they can actually learn from it, rather than just be hurt by it.
Marco I. Domínguez Buzzfeed provided her with the ingredients so I'm not sure why you're coming at her for something she probably has no control over
Marco I. Domínguez It wasn't a great recipe to begin with. A pie full of meat and the only seasoning is salt and cayenne pepper?
Marco I. Domínguez ummmmmmmm, she actually does know how to cook. Baking is definitely not her forte but if you’ve seen any of the other cooking (not baking) videos she’s done, it becomes clear to see.
Ash O: Even without being told, I knew it was a recipe for chicken pot pie. That tastes pretty good without exotic spices. They were still relatively expensive back then, and people from that period did not always approve of spices. They thought they were unhealthy. My 80 year old relative still thinks pepper is a bad thing and complains bitterly about any spices in her food.
Just scrolling along the comments. And I just need to leave my thoughts here. 1.) It's just a video following a recipe in 1910, don't get all triggered and question a person's skills or common sense. Nobody here is born in that era so no rude opinion privilege for you. Just enjoy the video. We get it you guys knows a thing or two more than the chef in the video, but being straight up rude shows how arrogant you are.
2.) The video actually isn't like in tasty where the chef can think what went wrong and is given days to trial and error methods to make it perfect. She's SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW EVERY instructions. She mostly baked as I have noticed in her tasty videos which is probably the reason for her lack in knowledge to some stuffs you guys are very much bitching about.
3.) You obviously don't get how buzzfeed operates. Some videos of theirs don't actually have to be perfect and professional since they target the general audience who typically watches youtube videos to past time which means some people watching don't have basic culinary skills (like me) and just want to watch bizarre videos to past time. The chef in the video obviously knows how to cook (don't judge her immediately just because she didn't perform like you expect her to be). Furthermore, even the world's best chefs don't know recipes from decades ago. Give the chef a pass for not being born in 1910.
In conclusion, there's no space for your rude asses opinions since the video's done. Let us enjoy the content they post peacefully and if you don't like the video. Just click away.
It's fine if you don't have basic culinary skills, but unless this is a gag video it's natural to expect that someone you yourself refer to repeatedly as a "chef" who is producing a video on a food enthusiast channel called "Tasty" should have some basic culinary skills. Judging by this video however, her cooking skills are pretty underwhelming; even pastry chefs learn the basic of other stations before specializing.
And yet the "punchline" seems to come at the expense of the recipe rather than the cook, somewhat unfairly so given the preparation. Some people simply wanted to see a genuine good effort put into making an old fashioned dish.
Exactly She was just following the recipe and people are getting worked up about it, also hello Army! (Your Yoongi profile pic) 💜
I think the recipes back then were not very detailed because they assumed that people making them had a certain amount of cooking experience. A chicken means a whole chicken. Good try, though. It probably tasted bad even when they made it in 1910, tbh.
Exactly. If you ever have the opportunity, try to watch Christopher Kimball's special "Fanny's Last Supper" where modern cooks (actual cooks I mean) prepare a full dinner from Fanny Farmers Cooking School in Boston using only methods from that time period, including cooking on a wood stove. It gives you a sense of how skilled cooks really had to be back then and how much they were expected to know, and why they were often the most highly paid staff members.
Buzzfeed supplied the ingredients. she had to make do with what they gave her.
Try foods from the 1800s china era
Why?
itsyagurl Vanessa yeah it'd be interesting if they went all the way back to smth like 1500s
Lou Woot yeah
itsyagurl Vanessa XD
You mean from the Gina era
this is like giving someone who hates to cook a cooking show!
This would have been such a good series mannn
*puts chicken breast in hot water*
"It immediately turns...white."
You mean as it usually does? 😂 dragging it tf out.
I love this girl more vid of her
Emy Eli You Womyn objectifying freak!!
Emy Eli same
Villainous.Vibes lmfao
Villainous.Vibes I really hope your spelling was a joke
She's kinky.
Never has a tasty video convince me they don't know what they're doing more than this one. They used chicken breast when I'm sure in the original recipe they would have used a whole chicken and I'm sure they were also using fresh oysters. I'm not saying it would have been great, but they didn't even try to make it properly.
It said tin of oysters
MsBellaFate a tin of oysters back then was basically fresh oysters. they were harvested, canned, packed in ice and shipped (usually) by rail to their destination. they'd get there that day or the next and then be sold and consumed. nothing at all compared to the oysters that sit on shelves in grocery stores today chocked with preservatives. in this case, fresh oysters should have been used.
MsBellaFate rekted
MsBellaFate its pint of oyster not tin
well technically it's not a tasty video
I love looking at old cookbooks but I am not usually tempted to make any of the recipes. Even so, old cookbooks are history!
Culinary arts: the severely overlooked part of history.
Cooking for dad really 😂
Why did you use canned oysters? If it’s a true 1910 recipe and oysters were abundant back then, it would have been fresh oyster. So the reason why it didn’t taste good is that you use canned instead of fresh ingredients.
Lisa X especially canned oysters usually have added flavouring or salt.
Okay yeah I don’t know about that oysters and chicken doesn’t sound good from the getgo
Not, really. canned oysters were widely used, for the same reasons we use them today: they were cheap, didn't spoil, time saving and they were sold in all drugstores. For the fresh ones you needed a fish market, buy the ice and crush it to keep them and you didnt have a freezer to keep the ice.
Lisa X
1910 was a really hard time for Americans, so i think it might be a whole lot easier to buy canned oyster.
Plus I believe they used to boil the whole chicken with bone, chicken breasts are just bland.
“If you didn’t have taste buds you might think, hey this is probably a pretty good pie.” - Shane hahahahahaha
I don’t understand why you would ever use canned oysters for this.
because fresh oysters are hella expensive.
and Buzzfeed supplies the ingredients FOR her. she had to make do with what they put in front of her
Rosie Muffins do Buzzfeed also pay for Worth It? If so, based on what some of those meals cost, I don’t see why they couldn’t shell out for some fresh oysters.
YES THE PUN WAS INTENDED
they did have canned oysters then. it was most likely what was used at the time.
I didn't even know that canned oysters existed
I know I'm a bit late on commenting but...
4:12 THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
That hijabi girl has style
AMS JV she's called Amal

When she rams a truck of peace into some German Christmas market, she does so fashionably.
Why is she even in this video?
Amir Rahman why r u here ?!
I think you were supposed to mix the flour and the water. Then stir it in to make it creamy.
or mix the flour with the milk and then mix that in with the chicken and oysters....seem like she is deliberately f**king this dish up......She said she likes to cook but I guess she is not very good at it.....
why is this woman so confused by seeing boiled chicken???
because thats whack
For everyone talking about the oysters and chicken:
The chicken I’ll give you. The oysters, however, have additional factors to be considered:
The dish would have been off no matter what. This dish was most popular on the east coast (seafood in general was) and Tasty is on the west coast. The oysters themselves would taste different; the general rule on oysters is that east coast ones are saltier and more like the sea and west coast ones are sweeter. Seems like a minor difference, but for a lot of people it makes it breaks if they like them. (I do recommend you try a different coast if you didn’t like them, for example my father and I will only order/eat east coast simply because we don’t like the sweetness) It really depends on where the canned oysters were sourced, but if they were actual “east coast” oysters (which seems the more likely of the two simply because of the bias towards seafood there) then going by flavor it was actually closer. That’s just my two cents though.
I'm pretty sure that "a chicken" means a whole chicken. Not 4 breasts. Oysters means fresh oysters in shells.
I don't think electricity in the home was commonplace, and refrigerators weren't really available until the 50s. So the chickens would probably have been alive and squalking in the backyard.... So, the cook would be catching and slaughtering a live chicken which is probably a lot more flavorful than the prepackaged factory-farmed birds we're used to eating.
Butchers existed in those times you know
kennyfnpowers707 for large animals, yes. But I think slaughtering chickens would be pretty normal for the average blue collar housewife. The wealthy would have hired people to do the cooking and whatever else for them.
I loved the comments section!!
I'm totally on board with another antique recipe, just not with this “host." I wouldn't trust her with a butter knife and a microwave.
but shes a average person though
dave tugwell average people arent like her though lol
Dave, I think it's safe to say an average person, upon seeing "some celery," would assume celery to taste without having to ask how much celery is some celery. I also think an average person would know that the tablespoon of butter would need to be cubed and distributed evenly, rather than just guessing and then complaining about how the recipe isn't as detailed as it should be because "like, there's no internet in those days."
Lydia Butler I wouldn’t even trust her w/ a tampon...
Ya'll are taking this way too seriously--this is obviously intended to entertain, and it's equally obvious that the host is playing up her confusion for laughs.
I feel like none of the people in this comments section have seen any other videos with Alix in... She's the sweetest! Watch some of the "behind Tasty" videos that's she's in. She's so lovely and fun to watch!
Courage and Kindness no
I know people just don't know
She does seem sweet, but she is a terrible cook...
Courage and Kindness even if she is really sweet..which she most likely is, it doesn't change the fact that in this video she appears to have zero cooking skills
First impressions matter. Recoiling at the idea of boiling chicken doesn't make a great one
"it looks like human flesh" "how would you know"
whos gonna tell them
No freaking way! The chicken turned white!!!
Seetha who would've thunk it
Seetha what color is it suppose to turn? Green?
It's called sarcasm, children.
Klaire Soukkaseum-Fuaoa sarcasm you doofus
Par-boil a chicken means:One whole chicken.
gina farducci it means partially cook
*Partially boil a [whole] chicken. You're welcome.
David Kearnes you realize you can par boil anything .... chicken .. vegetables .. any food
Of course I know that. Parboil means to partially boil a food item. You do realize you did not understand Gina's comment....
She told that she loves cooking but in fact shes making disgust reaction to the ingredients and everything..hmm love cooking haaah?
이한을 im not saying she doesnt good at it.. im saying about her face reaction ... oh barbie.. sounds good.. thank for the suggestion 😉
She loves eating, that I'm sure of
이한을
Yes, if you don't swear full allegiance to every crap video Buzzfeed produces, you have no right to exist or to participate on RUclips, right? Idiot.
I think making toast is the extent of her "cooking"
Boqoreh oof
The editor of this is so sassy I love it
Idk but all the video's where alix is the main one trying to create something are great so deff keep her in the series
She said salt and cayenne was bizarre?? I didn’t know adding seasoning and taste was something obscure ???
Those two alone is a weird combo for milk oyster chicken casserole, but you’re white so the only seasoning you even use is salt lol
when it says to parboil a chicken, it actually means a chicken - whole chicken - it does NOT say chicken parts. any cook should know that dark meat has much more flavor than white meat, so you basically put only a few pieces of the MOST TASTELESS chicken parts in there instead of following the recipe.
To the people criticizing her:
"You'd think they'd be more detailed with the recipes."
Maybe she shouldn't of started off already with a negative attitude towards it
shouldn't of.... of... of... of... shouldn't of? huh?
*shouldn’t have
I think this would be even better if you tried to make a good version of the recipe afterwards. Like Binging with Babish
It would also be assumed that; the oysters were fresh, not canned and that you would mix the flour/ milk before adding.
Still would need a LOT of work before being "delicious", but oyster stuffing is a classic American tradition.
Yes, oysters stuffed in Turkey or Chicken
“I wouldn’t stop eating it if I was being polite to someone” 😂
Recipes were sparse on directions because people actually knew how to cook then.
Right? Most people would have fill in the blanks like add salt and pepper.
because adding your common sense to a recipe will ruin the point of trying the recipe
Satan In English, please?

Parboil a chicken = parboil one chicken = parboil a single chicken = parboil one unit of chicken = poach 4 chicken breasts... 🤦🏻♂️
I was about to comment on this as well... it's not rocket science.
Girl I love you so much! You seem like a really funny and nice Person!
Hey what about trying to cook meals from another country
Like middle eastern food
Emy Eli mmm I love tabouleh and kibbie and gyros
Middle eastern food is the best
The Middle East isn't a country…
ilovesparky13 And? It's an ethnicity tho and it included Arabic and Persian food .
ilovesparky13 also what does it not being a country have anything to do with the food?
I think if it were properly prepared and if she weren’t so cynical from the start, it’d not look so bad or taste strange at all.
I would suggest that before you try other decades you find someone who can actually cook!
Michelle Struik agreed
Michelle Struik CG
Totally agree
Michelle Struik agreed
I hope the next cook doesn't get so BURNED like her lol
more of these please! was so fun to watch!
So many things wrong with this
1. Whole chicken includes dark meat and possibly organ meat, much more flavor in those things.
2. Fresh oysters smell and taste light, like ocean water. That's probably what they were assuming you were getting.
3. Of course they don't have a temp, IT WAS THE 1910's so there were no damn thermometers in yo oven, you just put your hand up to it like "yeah that works".
4. I'm surprised they had cayenne, most people in that time didn't have a damn spice cabinet and were lucky to have salt and coffee. So respect the cayenne its probably like the quinoa of that time.
5. That chicken was not parboiled, it was overcooked.
Alright rant done.
lmao whoever edited this video is doing a great job
if you are a tasty producer how do you not know what a moderate oven temperature is?
Rat Lemonade Shes a Tasty *producer* not cooker
Fatima Aaliyah
Yes, how in the world could a professional who produces cooking videos for a living be expected to know what a complicated term like " moderate oven" means????
Love this! Please make more! I'd watch one from every decade.
The person who made this recipe assumed you have common sense.
It said she's a producer for 'Tasty', have you seen their content? All they know how to do is add bacon and melted cheese to things
Wrong move on their part in my opinion
Tommy Phan 😂 funny bc true
Yes! So glad to see all the people with actual intelligence in these comments (not being sarcastic here)
Ok gordon ramsey
Instead of criticizing the lack of specificity on the recipe, why didn't she just use however much of each ingredient she wanted to her own individual taste? "Some celery" could mean as much or as little as you want. Perhaps "a chicken" is a whole chicken. Use some common sense when given a recipe! ^_^"
Because that's how they teach you how to cook nowadays. You have to give the EXACT measurements. Even Gordon Ramsay gets bothered when he doesn't get an EXACT measurement. (I'm not defending them. I'm being sarcastic, though it's true, even the bit about Gordon Ramsay.)
aewtx
No, not Saint Gordon! He gets bothered by things? Say it ain't so!
Haha! But I'm talking about cooking. If anyone, he should know what to do with "a little bit of this and a little bit of that," right?
You know what's missing here? An attempt to make it pallatable, that would be fun to watch :)
Chicken thighs, a bechamel, fresh oysters/clams.
Same ingredients... Lightly saute the celery in butter, add flour, cook one minute, add milk, bring to boil, add chopped chicken and chopped oysters, season, then bake as before in the crust. Maybe add diced boiled potatoes and replace some of the celery with onion. Needs black pepper too.
Stephanie know's what's up. :) I love cooking veggies in my butter before I turn it into bachemel ^_^ tbh, I think most of that was implied in the recipe, because it was written for housewives who spent their whole lives cooking, they'd probably know you don't just chuck the butter on top of dry flour and whole oysters lol
why people be hating lol?
ClearglOss haters going to hate
When you boil things...you're supposed to bring the water to a boil, not lightly steaming
The Divine Protector Of Mangos guess she got salmonella now
The Divine Protector Of Mangos
It’s called simmering/poaching which happens around 180F the chicken would still be done and the recipe said PAR-boil. The only important part is heating the food in water, so you can finish it in another way.
Ikr
The person doing the captions is *gold*
Came here to say this. Dunno who does the captions, but I want to be their friend.
hell, the presenter is gold. like, really, her face is sparkly gold.
Lol. Very funny. Thanks. People lighten up. She didn’t say she was a professional.
Theresa Robertson then she should stay out of the kitchen :/
stinky wizzleteats I found the video to be funny and entertaining. And I didn’t see any claim that she is a professional. And if only professional cooked, most people wouldn’t eat. There are hundreds of RUclips channels where you can watch professional chefs. I watch those too. They’re very informative. And sometimes it’s fun to watch a regular everyday cook try cooking something and add humor to it.
Theresa Robertson and I’m saying she should stay out of the kitchen and never touch a spatula again
Nancy E LaFlair I hope to see more of her. I’m a subscriber of the Tasty channel. Love it.
She is professional though? I think she is. She's a Tasty producer and have cooked recipes in the channel tho.
Love that she was confused at there not being a set amount of chicken, that would be because it says "a chicken" as in a whole one? Bones and all 😊
Plus I don't think there was canes of oysters back in 1910 so of course it didn't say to drain it 😂
@@GEMOTO I'm only 22 and don't cook for a living (just enjoy to) and I figured it out! But no hate, I really like her videos! I just made the comment so others watching may understand that it may not of been so gross as a whole chicken and fresh oysters would add more flavor 😊
"a chicken". not "2 chicken breasts", not "1 thigh and 1 breast". common sense...
A lot of these really old recepies assume the person reading already knows cooking and the basic recepies because, lets be fair, it was almost mandatory for women to know how to cook back then and everyone expected that.
This makes so much sense!!!
So glad I'm eating in 2018‼️🍴
I don't know what you are up to but not all of us eat Mountain Dew flavoured jello for every meal. Believe it or not but a lot of products are not processed or chemically altered in any way

@BuzzFees: Could u try out a WW2 Rations, with a recipe by The Ministry Of Food.
It's a challence i'm tossing out to you. try it out.
i actually have one of the cookbooks published by the Ministry Of Food from 1940/1942.
I absolutely loved this, lolol! I never thought about recipes from back in the day! Can't wait for more episodes!
You should have made a white sauce (roux)with the butter, flour and milk
lisa W ikr
Yes! I saw Alex the Intern on the Thumbnail and instantly hit the thumbs up. I'm in.
you should make iconic 1960s jello salad or other recipes from the 1960s
Man, I wish this took off...It's a really cool concept. I think checking out how people ate through out the decades would be really funny. like that time the greg on American Housewife mad the colonial onion pie.
I don't hate it- Ryan being polite
Yeah *it's not good*-Shane speaking the truth
She has no idea what shes doing.
Lol all the comments are dragging her but I thought she was hilarious and her lack of knowledge was very relatable
Aside from the gill thing, which is just weird old-timey talk, all of this is the kind of basic culinary knowledge you can't get out of a high school home ec class without knowing. If her lack of knowledge is relatable to you, you should probably do something to help yourself. Nobody should be this incompetent in a kitchen. It's just sad.
Payton Fischer Lots of people don't know how to cook. While it's a good skill to have, it's super common to not know how, and home ec is not required in all schools anymore. People have to take time to learn how to cook, which lots of people don't consider a priority.
Ooh ShE iS sO ReLaTAblE
Please do more of this!!!
par boil a chicken means one whole chicken, not a bunch of pieces. I am pretty sure the recipe was for people who knew how to cook, thats not you!
Back in the day every woman (with the exception of the very rich) knew how to cook. Some better than others, sure, but every wife, mother and single woman knew how to cook. They had no choice.
Exactly. And boneless, skinless breasts that are devoid of any fat will have no flavor!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rachel Stephens yeah seriously. They didn't think this thru
The reason recipes from over a hundred years ago were so "vague" is that they were meant for people who already knew how to cook, and were basically just outlines. The writers assumed those reading would understand what they meant, because they generally DID. The recipes weren't meant for addled-brained nitwits trying to look cute by doing something they're not qualified even to attempt.
Vague, under seasoned and random/weird? Sounds like a tasty recipe alright.
Ashley Hundley yes!!!!!!
I wish she used fresh oysters instead of canned. Also you're supposed to heat the milk and make a slurry with the flour and butter.
Won't mix that way, you whisk the flour into cold milk, or alternatively, make roux with the butter and flour, and whisk in the milk.
Aniyunwiya Ageya
It's an old technique called burre manie and it does work to thicken stews and sauces.
Flour and milk maybe should be made cream first
