Great show! Thanks, guys! Listen, guys, just a suggestion - I'd like to recommend a sorta vintage cookbook called Dining with William Shakespeare by author and researcher Madge Lorwin. I used it a lot back in the '80's (yes, I am that old now Lolz). There are a number of really well researched and explained recipes in that book. While the emphasis may be on the Shakespearean part, it's really a fun read. I happen to like Shakespeare, being an old former member of the Thespian Club. But it really is both interesting and fun to read if you're into historic cookery. I've seen used copies of it on occasion at Amazon. Cheers 'n' besos, guys!

@MossyMozart they grow wild all over europe and northern asia, so they're pretty frost-resistant. I would also recommend fragaria × vescana, a hybrid of the wild strawberry and the garden strawberry (which is already a hybrid. Strawberries are crazy.) The fruits have much of the aroma of the wild strawberry, but are closer in size and shape to the garden strawberry. There are a bunch of different vescanas from different reeding programs. The version I know is the "Florika" from germany, so the other hybrids might be different in some ways.

You talking about the "pineapple strawberry" made me laugh! When I was a teen, I took a summer job in the kitchen of a home for the elderly here in Vienna. We always prepared different fruit platters for breakfast (depending on what was available) and one day we had some strawberries to add to them as well. I was put in charge of manning the fruit section and SO MANY old folks came up to me, gleefully expressing how happy they were that there "finally was some pineapple on the menu again!". I was so confused, thinking at first that maybe they were confusing the canteloupe we also offered for pineapple, but they were all locked onto the strawberries, repeatedly calling them pineapples. I was at a loss. Until, later at home, my mom laughed and explained that, apparently, in certain parts of Austria the commonly available strawberries used to be a variety that was called "Ananas-Erdbeere" (Pineapple strawberry). Thus, there are to this day SOME people (mostly older folks now who grew up speaking certain austrian dialects) that still refer to all strawberries as pineapple. Leaving 16-yo me endlessly confused. 😂

English lost a bunch of letters because the imported printing presses didn't come with types for them, and printers initially were too stingy to have them custom-made: ƿ, þ, æ and ð. (w, th, ae, and th). ƿ and æ were on their way out anyway, but þ and ð presented a problem. y was used for a while, but that wasn't very smart because there are plenty of ys already in English, before they settled on th for both. Also, those letters not being part of the Latin alphabet but either being Nordic runes (ƿ, þ) or modified Latin (ð is a modified d, easier to see in the uppercase version: Ð) made them unpopular as they were seen as old-fashioned and outdated. This explains why they weren't added back when types were produced locally.

In Polish the small strawberries are called 'poziomki' and the name actually reflects their horizontal (horizontal = poziomy) nature. The 'regular' strawberries are on the other hand called 'truskawki' which derives from a word 'trzask' meaning 'to crack'. Apparently the fragility of these plants had to be so irritating (or maybe uncommon when compared to other types od berries?) for Polish people that they ignored the more obvious features of strawberries like growing them under banches of straw that other nations decided to conserve in their languages.
@Cassiopeia7o7Ай бұрын
Also, poziomki have more complex and much more distinct flavour than strawberries. It's like the difference between jagoda and borówka.

Those Versailles kitchen gardens of the king are still a thing of wonder, seriously. De La Quintinie had created a system of walled gardens, where the walls would shelter the plants from the cold, thus providing different growing climates for different plants and making an early harvest of ripe fruits possible. He had also invented the method of fastening the branches of fruit trees on these walls, which might look torture for the trees, but actually makes them live longer and bear ripe fruit earlier. All this was spurred on by the vogue in court for fresh fruit and vegetable such as green peas.

Wild strawberries are actually amazingly easy to grow if your home climate isn't too extreme. Years ago, we picked up a wild strawberry plant on a walk in the woods and planted it on a sunny hillside in our garden. Within just a year or two it had basically completely taken over that hillside and we ended up needing to contain the spread of strawberries. Because the thing is, they don't just propagate through blossoms, fruits and seeds like most plants, but they also form stolons/runners, which is a lot quicker.

The bakery, where I did my work experience in the 90s, used to make these in summer. They called them Wimbledon Tarts, because strawberries , Wimbledon and summer is a thing here in the UK. I can swear this is exactly how they made them. I remember the job of pulping and straining a whole lot of strawberries. Then you'd take any stale bread from the previous day and turn it into crumb. Always got given one, during the two weeks I was there, with my lunch. That's brought on a whole bunch of sensory memories. Might have to throw together a few of these again. We made them small, about the size of a saucer.

I love your channel! It's so unique, fun, and educational. This makes me think about paintings of fruit and vegetables from medieval times and the Renaissance that show us what they looked like hundreds of years ago. They were SO different than what we have now. Plants have been crossbred and cultivated for generations to be consumed by people rather than the animals that the plants originally developed a symbiosis with. It's fantastic to look at how we've evolved plants for our use. And this was your most wonderful video - not just the historic information, but your sheer joy in tasting a delicious long lost dish. And your pie was beautiful as well! I bet it will make a comeback due to you. Bravo!!!
