So I discovered this guy while on a fast watching a lot of YouTube cooking channels, go figure.
He reproduces 18th Century recipes in a VERY cozy manner.
tl;dr : Cozy cooking!

Thanks for sharing this. Am enjoying so far
Pretty comfy

we literally had a thread up on him yesterday
he's cool

John is the comfiest man alive today. I'd trust him with my life.
Been thinking of trying out some recipes: the beauty of stuff like this is that ALL the ingredients are probably already in your pantry, so you won't need to go chasing anything exotic since the most wild it gets is cheesecloth or salted meats.
I'll probably make a Townsend cooking thread once I make it

an 18th Century onion ring. Who knew these existed back then?
>>7399000
The part about adding rendered Kidney fat is strange, to me. But It's not at all surprising that it was used back then. Just nothing like it in modern cuisine that I've had here in USA.

Chestnut Pudding...so delicious!

More with his daughter, gosh so adorable.
as a reenactor and historic researcher, this guy is great. Some of his clothing is a bit darker and less flamboyant than it should be, but his cooking is spot on.
This guy remind me of that martin actor
>>7399020
he's probably a serial rapist because ya know, 18th century.
>>7399031
I wish i was 8 again. I want to wear those clothes and have people think its adorable instead of wierd.
>>7399000
In the previous thread we established that the recipes he does from outside of America are done incorrectly and he gives incorrect history for them.

No we didn't, but feel free to keep thinking you did.
>>7401065
I typed out the fucking post proving he was wrong, go and shitpost elsewhere.
>>7399020
John is kind of an interesting person in the way that he is personable as shit and yet still can't deliver a line on camera worth a damn.

>doesn't actually use any cheese
This lemon custard is on my list of things to make after I get a tart pan. Or I might just make a double batch and put it in a full pie plate.
>>7401083
Wooow. Well. I think this tells everything necessary for gauging your integrity on the issue.
You weren't lying about the comfy, OP. I want a stove like his.
>>7399029
Suet is an alien concept for Americans?
>>7401141
>Let me tell you about your country and its food
Good Christ you people are arrogant pieces of shit.
>>7399031
It's always interesting to see Americans learning about our food like it is from another world.
It's also kind of sad to hear that suet is impossible to find in America.
>>7401223
???
>>7401172
>he said as he shitted up a nice comfy thread with "hurr durr he can't cook shit from outside the USL
what are some other comfy traditional recipe shows like this? This shit is exactly what I'm looking for.
>>7401083
You were conclusively shot down with original sources and everything, kiddo. By me, even.
You lost the game and now you're losing it again.
I freaking love Townsend and Sons. First stumbled on his channel like 6 years ago.

>what are some other comfy traditional recipe shows like this? This shit is exactly what I'm looking for.
Frugal gourmet did quite a few traditional recipe history shows, esp when he was doing his companion to Three Ancient Cuisines.
Heston did some old English recipes episodes ripped right out of medieval cookery, incl a predecessor to butter beer. They're entertaining even if you don't make any of the dishes.
Two Fat Ladies cooked all homey food with good banter and historical/regional aspects to that.
There's a few episodes of Good Eats when Alton consults the food historian.
Put in "colonial food" into video searches and you'll find a ton, a metric tonne at that.
>>7401272
>being so retarded that you don't even know your own country's cuisine
>>7401286
Right, you are clearly just baiting at this point.
>>7401155
Not the same poster but I'd imagine most people wouldn't know what that word meant.
>>7401172
Said the shitposter, unironically.
>>7401589
Are you still trying to talk to me? Your shit bait didn't work hours ago, why would you think repeating it would be any different?
>>7401297
in America suet is almost exclusively sold as bird food.

Shame it turned out he was a kiddy fiddler. Guess he would have 'loved' my 'show' too.

>The one telling the shitposter to fuck off is a "sperglord"
You're as bad as him.
>>7402107
>no criminal charges were ever filed
>>7402128
getting in a shit-flinging fight with a shitposter is also shitposting.
fuck off
>>7402141
So you simply changed shitposting tactics. Please take your bait elsewhere.
Amazing how what should have been the comfiest thread on /ck/ was ruined by a single shitposter.
>>7402175

It was a European that ruined it with his bitching about accuracy, but nice try.
The Scotch eggs recipe is really special. they use a direct recipe from a cook book from 1808 and follow it as closely as possible.
It's a great view into the origin of the Scotch egg and looks delicious! they explain everything and post the original source recipes on the blog http://savoringthepast.net/2014/07/01/scotch-eggs/

What sort of flyover hell do you live in where this shit isn't readily available?
Every time he chops something I can't help but think how terrible his knife-work is.

Pretty much why bone/ivory products get treated and dyed. Leave that shit virgin and everyone thinks it's acrylic.

You can just feel the rage boiling inside of him.
Hey all,
Original OP here, didn't know this thread would still be up! Hope everyone is comfy tonight!
Here's a feast to watch!!

I'd like to add I wish...WISH I could celebrate a Christmas or Thanksgiving feast in this kind of dwelling.

You might be interested in The Supersizers OP, it was a show where two hosts spend a week living the way they would in certain periods of English history(and one where they go Roman) with a heavy focus on the food, here's a random episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUcGFsHPo4E
>>7402671
Literally one of the worst "historical" shows I've ever seen. Their medieval one is a catastrophe of memes and poor history. Not to mention that one bitch is really fucking annoying
>>7402690
I think you're confusing history and entertainment.
>>7402694
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Supersizers...
>The Supersizers Go... and The Supersizers Eat... are BBC television series about the history of food
>Genres: Documentary film, History, Comedy, Reality television, Home improvement
>>7399000
Holy shit I love this guy. I love the fact that he doesn't come off as a know-it-all douche canoe like most youtube cooks.
>>7402705
Just wondering how seriously you take the page that lists it as "home improvement".
>>7402714
Not very but that doesn't stop me from deriding it
How the fuck do they claim that the English had never seen a lemon until in the Levant when it was introduced to the Middle East from Italy? They literally had to travel through Italy just to get to the area
>>7402671
OP here, I think it is entertaining. Now no need to fight, this is a comfy thread!
Sweet Potato Pudding!

You know, I'm not far from Colonial Williamsburg..I really should visit.
His wife is a qt
>>7402237
No I called him out on his inaccuracy, which is kind of important for someone who claims to educate people.Then you started sperging out by doing the usual American shitposting.
Now we are here.
>>7402241
Shit bait.
>>7402377
I'm with this guy. I don't know what kosher salt is, wouldn't all salt be kosher? But everything he uses is very common.
>>7402636
Where do you live that you have never had a steak pudding?
It needs kidneys too.
>>7404011
Kosher salt is salt in flake form. Cooks like it because the flaky shape sticks to the food well.
The reason it's called "kosher" is because one of its common uses is the process of koshering meat, which is using the salt to draw out excess fluids since blood is impermissible to practicing Jews. But chemically it's sodium chloride just like any other table salt. The only difference is the shape.
>>7399000
his videos are a pretty good resource for /out/ food
>>7402107
The allegations against him were for a teenaged boy, not a pre pubescent one.
I dunno man, at what point on the chronological age scale does it really go from "I'm being taken advantage of" to "I know what I'm getting into." By the time I was fourteen I was already looking at porn on the Internet (fucking dial up, man) and by sixteen I was in a sexual relationship. When is consent under the age of eighteen really going to mean consent, and not "You rused them into saying yes"?
>>7404191
The problem is that the age at which someone could consent varies greatly by the person. I'm sure there are some people who could legitimately consent at 14, if not younger. While there are others could could be thirty and not ready. That's the problem with laws like this, where do you draw the line? Someone could be 17 years 364 days old and the law says "no", then suddenly the next day it's OK? Clearly arbitrary.
>>7404191
Legal age is 15 in my country, but I still consider fucking teens to be pretty unethical. Yeah, they know what sex is, and they definitely have a sex drive, but they're also highly immature and easily manipulated. They truly believe that the 35 year old man will leave his wife for them and marry them and life in a magical castle forever.
i don't think it's unethical to the point where you should go to jail for it, but I'd definitely judge you for it.
>>7403993
>still sperging out over m-muh accuracy!
okay
his long loose sleeves trigger the shit out of me
>>7401669
In Canada it's sold for cooking but not very commonly used. An old lady bought some back when I worked at Safeway and she was surprised I knew what it was used for.
>>7400779
Weren't the bright colours mostly reserved for the conspicuously wealthy who could afford regular laundering and fine dyes?
>>7404278
You know Jas, your advertising thread is hilariously obvious and not only because you are taking any criticism so personally.
>>7406734
>MUH SHILLING
get a load of this memer
>>7406734
Your argument was that the recipes for certain items coming from Europe, namely scotch eggs, weren't how they were made originally.
This is true; however, two things to keep in mind:
>on their blog, they source the recipe from "Maria Rundell’s rather ambiguous [recipe] that was first published in her 1808 cookbook, A New System of Domestic Cookery" (pic related)
>all the techniques used are 18th century accurate
So if they're following an 18th century recipe and using 18th century techniques, how are they fundamentally wrong in any way?
>>7404278
>Who cares about silly things like accuracy in historical education media
No wonder your schools are so terrible.
>>7407626
Because it is from the 17th century and when you change the recipe like he gas, they cease to be what they should be. Make a pizza without bread and see where that gets you.
Besides, he claimed absolute nonsense about them like they are called "Scottish eggs" when they have absolutely fuck all to do with Scotland and never have ever been called such. Just like how he says their history is a mystery when we know exactly, who, where, when and how they were created.
Nobody who calls themselves a historian lies like that. This throws doubt on every other thing he says, as I said before the sperg started replying to me.
>>7409143
This is the second thread this shitposter ruined with his autism. Threads about this guy's super comfy channel will never be comfy again.
>>7409143
Sadly this is the second thread that the shitposter has ruined. You can't point out that he is flat up telling lies in his video without that one retard who is very probably Jas himself advertising his videos and that is why he can't take criticism, without him sperging out.
Two whole threads he sperged out over some youtube video maker being called out on, does that sound normal to you? That is a man that has a personal stake in the matter.
>>7399000
This is my shit right here

>>7409229
You're not being clever when you act as if we're blaming the other guy. We all know it's you that's shitting up the thread.
>>7409298
Do you have autism? You seem like you have autism.
>>7409319
>his shitposting
Pointing out that a "historian" is telling lies is not shitposting friend, no matter how hard Jas is pushing that narrative in this advertising thread.
