Why not dedicate an episode to Betsy Ross, if possible? She designed our nation's first flag!
Hey didn't they find a mass grave or something inside the walls of Benjamin Franklin a house or something like that?
Jefferson of course
I would love to have some cuisine of George Washington Carver and Alexandre Dumas. I am curious about what these great thinkers would have been dining on to fuel their brilliance.
John Adamsss!
Franklin was not 70. He was 50.
Now you may have heard he was born in 1706, 70 years before the declaration of independence. However, when he turned 60, he decided that there was no rule that said you had to add a year every birthday, so he decided that instead of adding a year, he deduced a year
I applaud his idea
Hi Max I'm a chef and my dad is a history professor. Salamanders are still used today and its fascinating that that is how the term originated, thank you!
Nowadays we call them the "sally" for short or when I'm swinging something hot to it real fast I just say that I'm "going to the light." 🙂
Use domestic Parmesan (bel gioso) rather than the stuff from Italy? Read somewhere that Bel Gioso’s Parmesan is probably closer to historic Parmesan in water/salt content.
Request for Aaron Burr. After failing his presidential campaign, he tried to start an independent country out west. There's probably some interesting recipes and stories from there.
Would like to chuck in another vote for Thomas Paine. Fascinating guy.
Woah, delicious! I made this today and liked it very much. My wife … not so. 😀 Anchovy seems to be an aquired taste, I guess.
These would be good, instead of croutons, on Cesar Salad!
How about an episode about a founding mother?
The oldest restaurant is in Boston. Many of the early events in the Boston revolutionary period were planned at some of the area pubs. Maybe do something along those lines as it falls into the 250th theme. Or maybe the history of baked, stuffed haddock
Ethan Allen and the rest of the Green Mountain Boys enjoyed a drink called a "Stonewall" that might make for a good episode of Drinking History. Was a mix of room temperature apple cider(usually alcoholic but only mildly so) and rum. Some at the Ethan Allen museum in Burlington insist that his decision to take Fort Ticonderoga was at least partially motivated by a desire to get ahold of the rum rations in order to make the drink, and it's a documented fact that the day after the battle the Green Mountain Boys got belligerently drunk and refused to help the Massachusetts militia dismantle the fort's cannons.
Marquis de Lafayette would be an interesting figure to handle. He was a French revolutionary who trained the Americans in their revolution, and sponsored the emancipation of an enslaved man named James who upon his freedom took on the last name of Lafayette.
James Lafayette would also be an interesting figure for what those who were enslaved experienced and ate during the founding of our nation.
Ohhh, also I wonder if Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had any foods they both liked considering how much they despised each other?
Alexander Hamilton!!!
Really looking forward to this series, mainly because a lot of the Founding Fathers were all temperate Protestants who lived rational lives with few excesses, so it's interesting to see what they would have considered a meal worth writing home about. That being said, I know Hamilton got married during the independence war so maybe you can find what was served on his wedding day?
Actually, a founding mother: Dolly Madison, would be amazing.
Man, I can’t believe I’ve been subbed to this channel for five years. Crazy growth!
Button Gwinnett is a little heard of founder: Could be interesting.
George Washington liked Hoe Cakes. A savory pancake like dish made with cornmeal. The name comes from farmer and farmhands preparing them on the blades of hoes heated over a fire.
Theodore Roosevelt, please.
George Washington made cider, that’d be a cool episode
A suggestion….look into Fish House punch… it's an alcoholic drink that i discovered in college… obscure recipe in a drink book….cane with a warning….Be careful how much you imbibe, even thomas Jefferson and George Washington understood this drinks potency….heed that warning….
Betsy Ross
Thomas Jefferson, please! I know you covered him in your macaroni and cheese video, but he's such a foodie, I'd love to know more about him. My husband and I toured Monticello on our honeymoon 27 years ago, and got to see where he locked up his sugar!
Suggestions for the USA 250th
1.) I believe Yards Brewing in Philadelphia has created beers based on actual recipes from George Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. A re-creation of one of those recipes, particularly Franklin’s which uses Spruce, could be interesting
2.) Foods that were hard to come by, or what the colonists resorted to, due to the taxes they were fighting about
3.) Food from the battlefield, particularly anything from the Hessians or other non-British troops
Wonderful topic!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done
suggestion: Sam Adams apple pan dowdy or gooseberry fool
I would welcome a section of your time to include founders who were part of the ignored of history such as the enslaved people who made all the wealth and free time possible for the "Founding Fathers" to write and wrangle out the documents that started our country.
THOMAS PAINE
Petition #1 for Stunky Plushie in the background.
You're a much braver man than I am. I wouldn't have tried anchovies. But, I don't like fish or seafood either. 😁
Canadian here so my vote may not count, but I'd love to see how indigenous, enslaved, and immigrant foods came to be American staples. Instead of celebrating the ruling classes, how about the common people who built your country; the people who lived their everyday lives together, instead of the upper classes who sought to divide them to gain power.
