As he and this channel should be. Between the wholesomeness, education, and entertainment, this is one of the best cooking/food channels on KZfaq.

It was the Catsup episode that I first heard of Townsends, I’ve been subbed since.

Dana Snyder watches this channel

Same here! I've been telling everyone to check out the top 5 desserts episode lol

I wonder now if he makes more money off his KZfaq videos than he does from his store. He deserves it if he does, but I wonder.

It's a chicken coop converted to a film set. There's a behind the scenes in a previous video.

They've been working on it. As it turns out, I find the addition of the new glassware (they said in the Nutmeg Tavern video, they just got it back in stock) works well to create a fuller ambience. Lovely settings at the table, I agree. And you're right about the window glow. Nice catch.

They've upped their video production game a good bit lately. They're really making things look nice.

@@ssl3546 Yeah, I was bummed when I learned this isn't really real.

They did build their own homestead, communal earthen oven, blacksmith shop wood working tools a log cabin, I think they're building a small barn now. And the pottery John made himself. He also made the pots for the potted salmon video.

The texture looks delightful. Def making these sumbitches

Good for you

You have tried the recipe?

Same. I like pie more than cake. I always make myself a pie for my birthday. And my husbands as well.

Yes, i think I'd like a perfect middle of chewy but fluffy that sounds pleasent

I never did unfortunately. 🤦‍♀️😂

I thought a swiss roll was made with sponge? It looks more like a jam roly poly which is flat rolled suet pudding with jam then rolled and steamed or baked.

The Swiss rolls that I know are sold in the US stores are made of a sweet cream inside a rolled chocolate cake.

Not a very good name....

Loads of suet 🤤

Mom was of Austrian descent, she never wasted anything and the meals and dishes she cooked were delicious!

Yes Strudel. My great grandmother came from Austria. My grandmother always told me, you must be full of aggression to make a good Strudel dough, while slapping the dough vividly and ruthless on to the kitchen table ( take this… :-) ) and you have to pull it very thin, nearly translucent so one can read a newspaper underneath. My favourite is Strudel with mushroom filling.

A bean strudel sounds SO GOOD. And that soup ughhh

@@frauleintrude6347 in modern day baking thats called the window pane test I think, where you stretch a piece of your dough until its transluscent to see if the gluten has developed well

James's "little bit of flour" ............

@DuncanAndFriends Pranks Thirsty?

@DuncanAndFriends Pranks Thank God the telephone did not exist yet in the 18th century.

In Australia it is a name for types of tumbleweed.

Yep, I've also heard Pillbug

How gross!! Lol!!!

Those things are wood lice? Are they a pest for trees?

i don't think the roly poly/pill bug is a danger to trees. i think it just lives in rotting vegetation on the ground. fun fact: they're crustacea, related to crabs and shrimp 🙂

Thou to be fair, it tends to be with a soft airy cake dough rather than pie crust.

Fika ! ☕🍰

I'm part Swedish! Awesome to know!

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 yes, I've always had/made it with a sponge cake. I'm interested in trying this with the boiled pastry, though!

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 interesting!

Ashleigh you are so ON the spot !!! Jon definately needs to enjoy some of these rolls in the Nutmeg Tavern 🍺

Interesting

I noticed that, too. Was wondering the same thing!

The layout of the table was prescribed, especially for more formal meals. The most expensive/impressive-looking main dishes went in the center of the the table or directly in front of the host or hostess, and the more ordinary dishes, as well as the vegetables, went along the sides of the table, and on the corners. Each item was divided between 2 or 4 dishes or platters, and they were arranged symmetrically on the table. That was considered more attractive, and there was a dish of each item within reach of everyone on the table, to minimize passing the full dishes or platters around.

If you've ever seen portraits of meals from the time you can see the way they arranged their tables.

I’m curious why you cut the tie. One piece might have been used again. These tapes made to tie with,of course,had to be made by hand back then.

I do think townsends even has a recipe using pawpaws! Good luck with your trees, I hope they'll grow big and strong!

@@agimagi2158 they do. They adapt a chocolate pie recipe.

Plant loads of seeds. They are known to be hard to grow from seed. Best of luck!

Pawpaws sound very interesting, apparently George Washington liked them chilled for dessert.

@@PRDreams yes! Our plan most likely is to try to grow some from seed for fun, and purchase some grafted trees as well.

oooh, that would be so interesting!

Interesting, acorns are awful bitter but so are some almond varieties so I'm sure there are historical uses

Hail Satan.

@@havokmusicinc There were (I'm not sure if there still are) Native American cultures where acorns were one of the diet staples. Somewhere in the West, I can't recall if California or elsewhere - somewhere where there were a lot of oak trees. They boiled them before using them further, I believe.

@@beth12svist im in redding California and tribes use to fight over our land for the acorns. Ive got over 10,000 pounds of acorns on my property and nearly everyone around me has the same... Ive been looking for recipes that I can add to the paper bags I start handing out with the acorn flour in it. Ive started dehydrating black berries and have a massive wild plumb tree collection.

That sounds so GOOD.

Yeah you got use suet not butter

Seconded!

That's actually really cute. I love the way little kids' minds work sometimes. ☺️

Brazo de reina here in Chile

blueberries would be delightful! And let's add some nutmeg too!

@@rosemcguinn5301 Sounds good. On my dad's farm in Alberta, Canada, we had wild ditch strawberries, and Saskatoon berries. They were really good. Cheers, Rose! ✌️

... oh help. Raspberries sound good to begin with, but blueberries? I can't resist blueberries.

Same, and some had cinnamon sugar filling.

I've seen a video from which I learned baked pie crust jam rolls are a traditional dish in Belize. No pie, straight into the roll.

My grandma also made this, but like your grandma, baked it instead.

Lol that bothered me too!😃

Wonder if you could do an actual sous vide with that setup.

The secret ingredient is family not wanting to hurt her feelings...lol My mother also uses that one.

Poppy seed rolls are delicious with tea or coffee, what a treat ! When your Mother in law makes them again, please enjoy a slice for me .

@@wallywest3056 they actually love them. They request them.

Poppyseed rolls sound delish!

Jon loves historical cooking. He IS demonstrating what he believes or surmises is the mindset of these folks in the time period they hale from.

That sounds lovely! I may try it too...

My grandmother did the same thing! I am making this over the weekend with the cinnamon and sugar like my grandmother made!

It's not a science lab until you get hungry at a completely inappropriate time
