18th century cooking - Townsends channel

[Millhouse]

For anyone interested in some old school cooking 18th century style (Colonial U.S.), this is a great youtube channel that has been up for quite a few years now. Everything they do is as authentic as possible from the cookware to recipes to source of heat.

I've seen that. Interesting stuff. Their website is interesting too, but I probably wouldn't buy any of those items. I have way too many kitchen gadgets as it is!

One thing I like about it is that this is stuff history books  dont talk about. I mean people had to eat back then, so what did they eat? Granted I prefer modern day cuisine, but there is quite a few things they have cooked I would try making.

That would be in the 19th century when people went westward after the Indians invited us to settle their lands.

Very interesting. Watched a couple different ones. Would like to try building one of the ovens if I had the energy.
