  1. Interesting, will remember this! Where'd you learn this by the way?

  2. We will live like our ancestors and the rest will perish. No large scale factory will ever do good for the environment, regardless of the source of the material. There are too many people, period.

  4. Pea soup is still a very popular dish in the Netherlands for winter, it’s very hearty. We also call it ‘snert’ besides the literal ‘erwtensoep’.

  5. I love learning about food preservation. I can imagine long journeys, either by foot, horse or ship, had two important factors. Warm dry clothes, and food that lasted you some time! I assume you probably have more videos on this subject, I'll look around for them. Great work by the way! Coming to think of it, perhaps this is what inspired Tolkiens 'Lembas bread'.

  6. When I hear things like: "boil it for 3 hours" I simply can't imagine they did this in summer. Wasting all your wood on potting food, wood you'll be burning all day anyway in the winter days. And then heating up your kitchen which is also your bedroom to the point you can't sleep anymore.

  7. Interesting that they couldn’t really adjust the heat like we do today, so they instead changed the distance from the pot to the heatsource. Didn’t realize that before! By the way we still don’t have a way to sharpen files! The edges get rolled over and you simply have to reforge it.

  10. Didn't expect the cooking guy to make two awesome videos on brickmaking. Although I guess making food and making bricks is not too dissimilar in a way.

  11. Wow, Dan looks like he’s straight from migration era Germany. Awesome face structure, piercing blue eyes and survival skills! If you’d ask a Roman, what does a barbarian look like, they’d describe this guy for you.

  13. My parents have a pretty nice oven at home, so the first thing that was an issue when I moved out was the oven. In the end it does the job, but not well. I totally would support real community baker bread, but we are in the era in which people mess with mass produced food. Maybe we need an oath and a guild again. ;)

  14. It's interesting you guys call it an oven because idk about Germany but in the Netherlands we'd call this a 'braadpan'. So a pan, not an oven. And we don't bake in it, we put butter in it and do whatever the word for that is in English (braden). As well as the thing with beer or wine and then letting it simmer (stoven).

  15. Huh funny, that means soup is part glue.

  16. Perfect! Was looking for this!

  19. This is why I bake my own bread. The shite that is sold in the supermarket agitates my gut and gives me an irritated feeling all over my body and in my head. I get my flour from an old fashioned windmill and so it's a bit rougher, less pure, which I like. Also I forgot to take my bread out of the freezer last evening so now I can't eat. :) FYI I'm Dutch so we eat bread for breakfast, lunch and often even for dinner.

  20. Heyyy that painting is from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam! I forgot the name. It's a Dutch painting either way.

  21. I wonder, could boiling food be the first type of cooking that was done? Cooking means ‘to boil’. That would make soup the oldest dish in existance! And yes, soup is so wholesome...

  22. Nice. Very pretty.

  23. How'd you go about finding the right spot? And say, you know there is a collapsed well in your yard, and know roughly where, how'd you go about finding it?

  27. No. My bread tastes super bland without it. Ordering a new batch tomorrow.

  29. In the Netherlands ragout is really something else. You first put a fairly large amount of butter with flour in the pan and stir and heat it until it's this thing the French call 'roux'. Seperately from this you cook some meat, and then you mix the broth with the 'roux'. You should get quick a thick sauce, and then in this you stew all your ingredients. Usually we put this kind of stuff on bread these days, it's quite thick.

  30. Can you do this with another rock instead of metal? In “Hervarer saga ok Heiðreks”, ‘Gestumblindi’ (just a hiding name for Wen) poses a riddle that goes something like this. “What lonesome one sleeps forever in the gray ash and is made from stone ONLY. This greedy one has mother nor father, there he will spend his life.” The answer was a spark. However the text clearly suggests you can do it with just two rocks. In Dutch flint is literally ‘firestone’. So, a flint and what other rock does one need? I guess some kind of iron ore?
