Patreon Only Live Q&A Coming Up
Added 2017-02-06 17:24:17 +0000 UTCI'll be doing a live Question and Answer session Tuesday night at 7pm EST. We had a test a few weeks ago and it was a lot of fun. I have scheduled this one in the evening so a few more folks might be able to attend live. I will post the unlisted link a few hours before the Q&A and I will send out an email. Hope to see you there!

We’re scallions a common herb that was added or any other herbs? Calves foot jellies- for the richer folk or a special event for common people

2017-02-17 09:21:46 +0000 UTCThanks for another marvelous Q&A. I need to set up an email forward for my wife (the other half of the nutmeg membership, considering mushroom catsup) so she's able to get notifications prior to the live stuff. 1) We both think humor is very important to any presentation of history. Your funny adverts didn't at all detract from the information, rather, the opposite. Think James Burke or Dan Carlin. They're both brilliant and infuse their work with a good deal of humor. The Josh videos, zombie film, and green sale are priceless. You are not mocking history: you are making it approachable and fun. To think we found your channel by searching for switchel. And neither of us having any particular historical inclination 18th century-wise... a year later, here we still are! 2) Thank you for acknowledging Patreon members! :-D 3) Veal is a product of stuffing a calf in a dark room approximate to its own size so she/he can't move, feeding him/her milk, then draining all his/her blood out. That is the animal's life. Not something I'd do to a child. There are wonderful alternatives. Sorry if you've been hassled by rude vegetarians--we simply adjust and mainly live by example. Just wanted to state the facts! 3) All of you are awesome. Keep up the great work. A thousand thank yous to Jon, Kevin, Aaron, Josh, and the rest. Again, thanks. :-) PS - Should you make time for tele: check out Westworld (theme park is 19th c, but maybe you'd get a kick anyhow), Oh yes, and we're totally jealous of your old radios and whatever that radioactive sign that flashes in the zombie film. But we do have a 1950s Geiger counter. Not to mention the masses of Cold War ephemera! Hurrah!

2017-02-11 19:05:55 +0000 UTCI'll post these here, and also when the feed starts: My 12 year old daughter is a big fan of Ivy, and wants to see her more often. Tell the truth, did Ivy like the fried beets? How many episodes will you be able to make featuring Michael Twitty? Has Kevin given up pottery for good? I would love to own one of his stoneware items.

2017-02-07 02:53:00 +0000 UTCGreat Jon, I've posted this one before on the individual YouTube's but in both the scotch egg and the breakfast sausages receipts it looks like the meat are precooked, are they? Also in the breakfast sausages you used veal. Well in the U.K. veal can be very hard to come by as it went out of fashion due to TV reports of animals cruelty (crating, forced milk feeding) on the continent where most of our Veal came from in the 80's and 90's (19 not 17 ;-) ). Can you recommend a substitution? I was thinking rare breed pork mince or something? Keep up the good work Jon.

2017-02-06 18:55:16 +0000 UTCChristopher, If you have questions before hand you would like to ask this would be a great place to post them and I will do my best to cover them in the session. Thanks!

2017-02-06 18:35:50 +0000 UTCHi Jon, will there be an opportunity to post before hand for use in Europe? 1900 EST is obviously 0100 GMT and 0200 CET and on a "school night" there will be a lot of us this side of the Pond that would like to partake but with due conscience will be in bed ready for the next day of toil. Maybe you could make a short list of European questions sent earlier in the day and than intersperse them into the live Q&A?
