Dies Irae |
I rabbit-holed into this series of videos combining history and cooking. Since many members have an abiding interest in both, I thought I'd post a couple. There's simple instructions on preparation, if one was inclined. | ||

I literally just finished watching that first video on a random whim, popped back on the forum to browse and you posted this thread, lol. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I'm a fan of the channel. I've seen several of his episodes. While I don't have a particular interest in trying any of the recipes he demonstrates, I've found it very educational about life back then. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Howdy! My other half loves his channel and has done a number of 18th century several course meals from the channel for us and our friends; all very well received and so very tasty!! | |||

I love fried chicken, and this sounds definitely different from what I'm used to. I think I might need to try this one. 1736 recipe from a cookbook with a Latin name with a few ingredients I've never heard of? Yeah, I'm game. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Did anybody see the episode where he addressed the political commentary from a previous show? It was in an episode where a dessert called "orange fool" was prepared. I think you see where this leads. | |||

I may have to try that chicken this weekend. Looks good. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Alright, I made this fried chicken tonight, and I have to say...it was really good! First few pieces I made as is, except that I used a chardonnay rather than a rhenish (my little grocery store has a limited selection of wines). The combination of the wine and lemon gave it a great tangy character. Really good, but I thought, "could be better". So, taking a cue from Chef John, I added some cayenne to the batter for the second batch and that took it up a notch or two. Gave it a little zing along with the tang. I'll be making this again. I liked it a lot. Might try it with buttermilk instead of wine, but that might add a little too much tang. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Yes, they have a pretty neat store on the website. I bought flint, a steel striker, and a tobacco box to store it in with some char cloth a couple of years ago from them. It's a great little kit for my get home bag. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||
