This discussion thread is pinned. First off...alloo! Long time no see! I hope you are all happy and well. 
I'm still having serious health health issues and my diet is crazy boring, so I tend to not think too much about meal planning and fun dishes, and I have been sticking with what will keep me out of the hospital, so I haven't really had much to share with you all. I've been digging back in to my genealogy research again when I feel up to it, and that has led me to a few cool things on youtube that I thought some of you might find interesting! The first is a channel called Jas. Townsend & Son He cooks recipes from, and talks about life during the 18th century. I've watched several and have been enjoying them a lot! The main channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson And this is one of his vids on soldiers and food: I've just started this one - Victorian Bakers which is a BBC production that brings four modern professionals together to explore baking in the Victorian era. I think there are 3 or 4 episodes and the first is here: And this is a huge collection of historic food videos collected by Heather Randall that I'm just beginning to sort through which seems to cover a wide variety of periods in British history. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4nfEcXSm87tYY_xsu_oTGH3vaNPJiejB Tasting History Another addition of food throughout history videos! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsaGKqPZnGp_7N80hcHySGQ I really rec Max videos. Very interesting recipes!

My nephew is very interested in camp life of Revolutionary War soldiers. He and I watch these videos frequently. AND we cook some of this stuff over a campfire.
Great thread |

John Thorne (Outlaw Cook) wrote about building one years ago, and I've been dreaming of one ever since.

I have seen all episodes. I think there is a lot of eras which diet would have got rid of me
The WWII was an interesting diet, very healthy despite beeing very starchy. But very low fat and limited meat. For me too, it is not very far from my habits. |

I'm just crazy mad about cooking and baking. I like also to play with chocolate and sugar.
