I heard that Native Americans would first strip the corn off the cob like you did here, but to get all the food value and flavor out of it, they would scrape the remaining cob and get all that wonderful soft remaining material. In a modern kitchen, just scrape the back of a knife on the cob after you cut off the corn kernels. It is such a simple task but wow you get so much more out of the corn this way.

Reminder: Water is wet, Dirt is dry (and if it's not it's called different words, like mud, etc). We know. However, this is an 18th (and sometimes early 19th) history channel. It shows the perspective of the colonial /US settlers at the time. Enjoy it for that; the sometimes backwards, but simple and explorative themes presented. Townsends is here for that insight into that area of the past. It's not all encompassing, and they work with what is available from that time periods knowledge base. Townsends does a great job doing what they do, and I can only speak for myself, but I come here for the simplicity of the content. If you'd like to share how you would cook this or something similar, at your own home and with your own tribes/peoples ingredients, by all means, please. People do it all the time and it's great! I'm curious to know myself. Just, don't state something obvious, that can be basically summed up as 'Trolling', and off the topic from the 265 year old receipt. Thank you. My apologies. Now back to your regularly scheduled dose of nutmeg goodness.

Nothing wrong with pointing out to am educator that they are misrepresenting something. Teaching about the 18th century colonizers doesn't mean you have to teach from their perspective. The criticism was given politely.

Love the channel! I had to laugh at the intro because I have venison steaks out for supper and venison in the fridge curing for the smoker... Great videos, and very fun to watch!

I've watched some features on Native American foods and it's a shame alot of their recipes are lost to them. These days most Natives seem to think their foods are 'fry-bread' or tacos, but there's much more that are lost to the Natives. This is a RARE find, authentic native food that you somehow you were able to unearth. Good job!

I mean, fry bread is an invention derived from circumstances unique to them (living off rations after being evicted from their land). So i don't see how that makes it illegitimate. All cuisines are constantly evolving, just cause it's not what they ate hundreds of years ago doesn't make it any less "authentic".

I love history. But you bring in the humanity with the true stories you bring to us. Thank you. If only we could all see each other as kin. No differences between us. Just kindness ❤️

I am absolutely thrilled that you've done an episode on northern native American food! I've been searching for information about this kind of food for a while, and it's extremely hard to come by. Most of the examples I can find include stuff like butter, which native Americans would not have had until *after* Europeans arrived, which makes me doubt the dish was traditional. Very excited to see a dish which was certainly eaten for thousands of years! I only wish there was a way to know if there were any herbs or other seasonings used in the dish.

Deer are easy to come by still today in many states. There are over populations all over the place in the United States, so this recipe is still applicable today. Thanks Mr. Townsend. I really enjoy seeing how folks used to live and eat.

Its always nice to focus on the native american side of things. Too often they don’t get mentioned within the greater context of the 18th century, as to your point about this simple recipe. Thanks for preserving American history!
