For a moment, I was fearful that this was about meals when Aunt Flo comes to visit.

The Supersizers Go is a FANTASTIC series of shows.

There's a second series called "The Supersizers Eat."

They dress and live in period authentic style and eat period authentic dishes, and they throw in a TON of history, as well.

They went Roman all the way to the 1970s/80s, IIRC.

The two most fascinating for me were the WW II years and the 1950s.

The WW II era was talking about how people dealt with rationing, the groundswell change in food availability, recipes, etc., due to the war. Some of the things they made actually looked pretty good. I've been meaning to give them a try just for the heck of it.

The 1950s was really interesting because (what most people don't know) is that rationing continued for quite a few years. After the war Britain was almost bankrupt and it didn't have much capital to spend on replentishing the livestock that had been butchered at the start of the war to conserve food stocks and convert the land to a wartime agriculture footing.

They also went into how people celebrated the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and how by the later part of the 1950s the economy was humming and rationing was ending, and people went nuts.

Good link. Probably fewer ads than in the link I posted, and their site works better than any of those "watch TV on your computer" websites.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I would like to apologize to everyone for the thread title. I should have considered my audience, and called it "Old-timey vittle videos."

I immediately spotted the multiple ways this thread title could be red and figuring you had done it consciously just trying to pad your view count.  I decided to ignore the double meaning and just go with the flow.  Of course, the first bloody reply had to bring it up.

I wish I would have paid more attention to this thread when it started. I just found this and now want to try it. I know my mom did a pastry like this, but not with bratwurst in it.

I like how the guy uses period cookware and heating sources. :)
