Deer Stew & Crunchy Cheese Toast from 1814 |Historical Cooking| No Talking

Make this at home and let me know how it turned out😊. An image of the original cheesy toast recipe published in 1814 (or receipt as they used to be called) can be found at the end of the video. This recipe was published in A New System of Domestic Cookery (New York). The recipes for the venison stew + cheesy toast can be found below. I made the venison stew using ingredients that were plausible in American cookery for the early 1800s. Add any modern spices and ingredients as you see fit (tomato paste would be a nice addition, just not period correct).

Venison Stew, Justine's own

Venison, 1 pound (I used a backstrap)
Carrots, chopped, 2 cups worth
Celery, chopped, 1 cup worth
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic
Mushroom catsup, a generous dash
Beef stock, 4 cups
Rosemarry & thyme, a tablespoon of each fresh
Salt & pepper to taste
Butter, 2 tablespoons

Melt your better in a hot, deep skillet. Add your venison, cut small, and stir frequently till seared. Remove from the skillet then add all of your vegetables. Cook for 5-10 minutes until soft. Once soft return your venison to the skillet as well as the herbs, salt & pepper, mushroom catsup and beef stock. Mix well. Cover then reduce your heat to simmer. Simmer for 1.5 hours. Be sure that you cook this low and slow. Take your stovetop down to its lowest setting for this. This tastes very good with bread on the side! 😁



"Roasted Cheese", 1814

Cheddar, Colby, Cheshire or Swiss Cheese, 0.5 cups more or less. Grated
2 boiled egg yolks
0.5 cups bread crumbs
6 ounces of softened butter
1 tablespoon of mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
4 large slices of bread

In a bowl combine your grated cheese, boiled yolks, bread crumbs, butter, mustard, salt & pepper. Mash them up into a smooth paste. Toast your sliced bread. Once toasted smear the prepared paste thickly over them. Cover with another plate or tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove the top lid and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and toasted.

I love how good your food looks. We have nothing on the cooks in the early 1800's. They knew how to blend ingredients for flavor.

Any recipes for pheasant?

I really love the olden days.

Why did you boil the eggs? None of the recipes say they are.

Actually we live a far more miserable life now

Boa tarde. Sou Carla do Brasil

Not going to lie. I was hoping red wine was going to make an appearance in that stew, but I'm sure it was delicious all the same.

What did they do with all the venison left over?

Awesome, looks delicious 😋

Deer backstraps (tenderloin). I find it strange they would use this cut for stew...

This looks delicious 😋

Can’t believe you have 1 mil

Me encantan tus videos. Me transportan en el tiempo.
Saludos y un abrazo desde Chile.

I love watching Justine cook old fashioned and I don't like deer but it's amazing to watch her cook in a fireplace

Aousome

Aousone

What is mushroom ketchup?!

Yuck. Who eats the nasty white part of the egg?! The yolk is the best, but the white stuff I'd nasty!!!

Now we seen how they cooked back in the day. How did they wash their dishes?

I wouldn't mind living like this. Maybe with solar panels lmao

I'm here for the cat

I knew it was coming when I heard the cork pop out of Justine 's mushroom Catsup bottle!

Oh, Justine! Where would you be without your good ol' Mushroom Catsup!

I'm curious about cross contamination. I noticed you using the same utensils with raw meat. Touching other utensils for the fire. (Just got over ecoli poisoning wondering if that was a big issue back in those days )

😻

The sound of that bread being cut--makes me truly sad I am gluten intolerant!

Great video. Everything looked so delicious. I really want that toast, though. I am going to try to make it.

Ciao,sei una bravissima cuoca 😊
Saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹

This is really educational.

This might be a dumb question, but do you happen to have a video (or maybe a resource) about what all those fireplace tools you're using are called (like that top plate thing or the little stand you put in the fireplace to cook the stew on)?

I assume they were used commonly back in the day and I was wondering what they were called then, for research purposes. I was even wondering whether there were any terms for the cooking utensils and such that might have been different back then.

Thanks for the cool videos!

(Oh and I love the kitty cam lol)

even with my pawpaw havin been a hunter, i don't think i've ever seen not ground venision. i need to find a place nearby that sells it cuz i got a recipe to try!

Do you make your own bread?
