Fantasy-ish Piroshki!

Made piroshki again! I used a mix of dark rye and all purpose flour for the dough, filling is ground elk simmered in stout and Waygu beef tallow, caramelized onions, and caramelized cabbage with 3 cloves of my honey-fermented garlic! Served alongside a delicious roasted garlic mayo my wife made 🙂

(I plan on bringing this to my best friend’s hobbit/fantasy party in September and am trying to make it a Northern Dwarvish style food)

Question regarding the Tea Caudle recipe: what type of wine would you recommend (not what is used)

I’m planning to make this alongside the pelmeni (the pelmeni part was inevitable), but I’m curious what kind of wine you’d personally suggest. I’m not asking what Max used, since he already mentioned sauvignon blanc and it's listed on the recipe. I’m more wondering whether, in hindsight, he might have chosen something different. A few historical wine-based recipes have left my taste buds traumatized, even on recipes he liked.

Indian Pudding doesn't work with almond milk

Sharing so no one else makes my mistake. Followed instructions except for subbing in almond milk for cow milk. The flavor is delicious, but besides the skin on top it is entirely liquid. Next time I'll use whole milk and just take the lactaid.

I am kinda proud I managed to make it look more horrifying than Max's.

White Soup from the Regency Era?

As Max has already done a few Jane Austen related videos I think it'd be really cool if he did white soup. No idea really what it is but this quote "As for the ball, it is quite a settled thing; and as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough, I shall send round my cards." Has made me want to know more about it since the first time I read it.

Maybe he could discuss having supper at balls or not (as comes up in Emma by Jane Austen). Something like that I think could make a cool video.

Foods migrating

Something I think would be an interesting topic to cover in-depth would be how some foods we associate strongly with certain places are actually native to somewhere else entirely. A couple of examples of it are tomatoes being associated with Italian food, and spicy peppers being associated with South East Asian cuisine, but both originated in South America and migrated to those other places.

Who is Hazel?

When my mom first married my dad back in 1984, his aunt gave my mom a cookbook and pointed out this recipe in particular as a family favorite. It continues to be, but no one I have asked knows who Hazel is.

Gimme your best guesses in the comments.

(And my great aunt who recommended it is the Patsy who submitted it to the cookbook)

Edit: Since Reddit has eaten my pictures, I am transcribing the recipe here.

Hazel's Special

  • 1lb. hamburger
  • Chili powder
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 pkg. corn tortillas
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup (we always use cream of mushroom instead)
  • 1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • Cheese
  • 1 can Ranch Style beans

Brown meat and seasonings. Put 1/2 cup up(sic) tortillas in the tortillas in bottom of pan. Layer meat, beans and onions. Put remaining tortillas on top. Then add soup and tomatoes. Put cheese on top. Cover with foil. Bake 1 hour at 350°

I found garum on a modern menu!

I'm a Swiftie and the pap shots of Taylor and Travis leaving OR'ESH in New York popped up in my feed and piqued my interest because I'm a hella foodie so I wanted to see what the menu looked like. And I spotted garum in the wild. It's the first time I've seen it mentioned anywhere so thought I would share 😊

And here we are! Pomodori Farciti All’Erbette from the Tasting History Cookbook

My god this is so good, it kind of looks like scrambled eggs inside but maaan it is so good. It has this rich, cheesy flavor that’s goes so well with the softness of the tomato. Definitely make this, this is probably my favorite recipe I’ve done so far

To Max: Show idea

Hey there,

I am in the funeral industry and while in school I recall that in our history of funeral directing classes, they had a section describing the 17th and 8th century funeral banquets that took place. Various sweets and treats that had death and funeral related themes that obviously kept me thinking of them. Figured I’d see if there’s anything in the pipeline on this subject matter?

Love the show and I watch every Tuesday during my lunch break.

Increase in Youtube ads

Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in Youtube ads during Tasting History, starting last week? I timed them and it's every 2-3 minutes. I find it very distracting. Don't know if there's much that Max and Co. can do, but I did email them about it yesterday.

And here we are, Pancakes from the Tasting History Cookbook

It has a nutty aftertaste from the mace but it’s pretty good. I wish the dark brown sugar was more pronounced and able to taste it more but I think they are good. If you like dark brown sugar maybe add a little more than what it says on the recipe but other than that it’s good as is.

Deep dive of sourdough?

I’ve always been curious about who would come up with the process of making sourdough. Especially since it became so popular to make since Covid. Any chance of this becoming an episode?
