“1755 scrambled eggs” that’s a lot of eggs for one breakfast
@@DavidHowe-nv1nb this is humor
😂thanks for laughter magikarp and david howe
I'm sure that was intended for a family, not a single person. lol
I mean, when I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get large.
People burned alot more cslories back then since everything was more labor intensive
“The eggs didn’t stick in the pan, AT ALL!”
The 9 lbs. of butter: “You’re welcome.”
😂😂😂
lbs...... little butter sticks?
😂😂
Go back and watch him scrape a spatula of scrambled egg off the bottom of the pan, plenty stuck, and it’s because he didn’t follow the recipe. Add eggs to the butter (after melted and to temp)
Before I even read the replies I guarantee there’s a Literal Larry about the amount and someone doing a “well actually” the eggs did stick to the pan. $5 against me being wrong?
DO NOT watch this man cook after you go to bed. You feel like you’re starving till morning!! 🤤
I will only watch his videos if I am already eating food, otherwise the hunger is unbearable 😅
@@apictureoffunction I usually do the same thing. I also watch Binging with Babish and Gordon Ramsay. Their food looks so good.
@@Arbitraryshoe49 the streudel from inglorious basterds looked incredible. That and the steak eggs from twister
At least scrambled eggs craving is easy to quench
"Peter . . . It's making me watch"
My great granny made her eggs just like this. I loved to spend the night with her when I was little so she could make me breakfast. She had a little cast iron skillet on a hob and she stirred and stirred and stirred until they were perfect golden little blobs floating in butter, then she would always ask me if I wanted some egg gravy on my toast.
Egg gravy? Was that the remnants of the butter/eggs?
@@JoyDavidson google, my friend:
Egg Gravy Recipe
directions
• Heat milk
· Beat eggs, flour and a little salt.
· When milk is hot, add a few tablespoons of hot milk to the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
Then pour and stir the tempered egg-flour mixture into the milk.Cook until thick.Pour over toast or bread.
@@john-ic5pz Read the original comment, my friend. If you use more butter than eggs, you get a sort of crumbly egg gravy that's great on toast. It's salty, savoury, and quick to make. It's not white sauce based like the recipe you found
@@bubblegumplastic so it's melted hot butter with eggs? Sounds pretty good actually.
Make sure you use enough butter - there's no margarine for error.
LOVE IT!!
Hehe perfect 😄
You've a salted me with your pun.
Margarine is disgusting and terrible for you... that crap shouldn't even exist.
😂😂😂
cant believe this is free, this easily wouldve been something you caught me watching every morning on PBS like 18 years ago when I was a kid
God I know, the fact this is free just blows my mind. CZcams is a blessing
PBS was free. CZcams sells you.
i only just realized this but youre right

Buddy, grandma taught us to cook by tasting for flavor and texture. If she didn't like it, she didn't serve it and made something different. That wasn't often. Cooking from scratch is great.
It’s videos like this that remind me why I decided to major in history at the University of Georgia. You exude such joy about these topics. It’s refreshing as we live in a world where everyone seems to harp on what went wrong or imperfect in history. It may not be your goal, but you are truly inspiring the next generation of historians to follow their passion and enjoy the lessons left from previous generations.
My dude I couldn't agree with you more. I just found this channel 2 days ago and its humbled me. We'll never know where were going unless we know where we came from.
People focus on the bad parts of our history and condemn our ancestors for things they did in their time that we wouldn't do today, but never on the good parts of history and how much we can learn from our ancestors. If we don't learn from them we're bound to make the same mistakes that they did
me too...I minored in history for both my undergrad...and masters...I adore history and this is one of my fav channels...
Go dawgs
i think people should focus on the bad and the good, doesn't have to be one or the other...
I wonder why he chose this particular recipe.
- Reads the ingredients -
Ah yes. The nutmeg....
😊
This guy is the middle-school history teacher we all never knew we needed.
Amen
That's for sure
You laugh. I’m using his stuff when I get my own classroom next school year.
Middle school culinary teacher*
Imagine if we had culinary class in middle school I would show up every day so happy to be alive
I had someone similar (same energy) teach me history when I went to rawls byrd in Williamsburg va, cant remember his name but I remember him takin the time to put on period dress and put on a play almost when he was teaching about the colonial era, probably the main reason I loved history so much
Wife: "Honey why is there a fire in the middle of the kitchen"
Me:. "I only cook scrambled eggs the way they did in the 18th century for wonderful flavor".
If the eggs were worth the divorce, I support you.
The judge: “in addition to alimony, you must completely remodel the kitchen you built a fire in, and provide the recipe for scrambled eggs you used.”
NUTMEG
Internet Entity oh just awful!
😂
I love the concept of this show and I find it interesting, but John Townsend is what keeps me coming back. He seems so kind, and so enthusiastic charismatic. He reminds me of all my favorite teachers growing up. The perfect show for CZcams.
When i 1st saw this channel.. wasn't in a good mental state.. worked for me as therapy..! 🤗
8 eggs and a 1/4 lb of butter? That ain't enough to feed Gaston, step it up.
NOBODY EATS LIKE GASTON!!
That's an 8th of a stick per egg. Although thick slices, it's not far off from what you would receive at your average diner.
One dozen eggs to grow large. Two dozen eggs for size of a barge.
@@bandofmountainsBut they wouldn't also add whole cream... This is RIDICULOUSLY fatty.
@@Cooe. yes they would. I work in food and beverage management.
It’s almost 3in the morning and I’m watching a guy make a breakfast from the mid 1700’s

Doing the same thing right now mate. Hope you're doing well a day later!
Weird, I'm watching it around the same time... 3 am youtube will guide people to this video I guess
Me too!
Same!!
Depressions rough
No way they could have known that over 250 years later, their recipe would be shown to over a million viewers worldwide. So neat.
Most likely on a handheld device that receives "magic" moving pictures through the air. If you had said it they probably would have burned you at the stake as a witch.
The Hound or just thought you were crazy
We would have for sure been lynched had we talked about Apple or android devices back then.
Oh they knew
Nah they did
The butter and the constant mixing is what gives the consistency of cheese included. It’s amazing
I used to eat eggs without butter until i was on vacation and my grandma decided to add butter for some reason, and came running into my room to wake me up and tell me lol i love my grandma. Good video👍🏼
I love how happy this fella is. He’s such a nice break from the normal doom and gloom.
We're all fcked
@George Jungle slavery was not in every states back then too
Youd be happy too if you were a millionaire :P
@George Jungle oh stop. You understand that slavery was on the way out
He's insane.
He looked so happy when he sat down next to the fire with his eggs. That’s a man who truly appreciates life for what it is, and he takes nothing for granted.
Right on!
Ok
What
Everybody takes things for granted.
Ur annoying
Everything is going to taste great when it's loaded with butter and cream.
Healthy too without seed oil and tons of sugar.
Power went out, no problem, I made breakfast like this, but on my BBQ. Don’t have a fireplace anymore, but I got a little hibachi and cast iron skillets and Dutch oven. Thanks, Townsends, your videos come in handy again and again. Folks need to know what to do when the power goes out. That’s one of the reasons why I started cooking as part of my interpretation over thirty years ago. Love your videos! 👍👍

works for eggnog! why not 😊
"wait, this recipe has nutmeg? chuck, get the camera"
"Add quarter pound of butter"
*Gordon Ramsay Approves*
Gordon ramsay does indeed have butter as the main additive to scrambled eggs. Not milk
Paula Deen would have put a half a pound
They churned alot of butter in those days.
He would, however, point out that the butter should have been put in the pan, and the eggs added whole after the butter is half melted and the pan coated. He would also have been telling Jon to move the pan on the fire and off the fire while stirring constantly.
So would the Two Fat Ladies!

Good one! 😃
Right?!?!
@TheSeductiveArts This is an educational show. We both learned something today.
Nah, as soon as he said we might be able to work out why he chose this one, I said out loud "nutmeg"
🙂
@Flashy Paws I mean, ain't nothing wrong with that. I'd drink that much nog daily if I could afford it. But I'm keeping the nutmeg out of my eggs.
These historical cooking videos are some of the most wholesome things on CZcams. I love them!
I like how even he couldn’t hold a laugh when mentioning there’s going to be nutmeg in this recipe.
Uncultured swines: people were starving in the past
The past: 8 eggs and a quarter pound of butter for breakfast.
Actually not that bad for you 🤤
Some people starved some ate very well same as now.
The Voice of Reason -Yep!
@@ExtremeSlaveFetish Thats actually awful for you lmao
@@NeoDustyNigga
Not compared to a lot of things we eat in the modern world. Processed food, sugar, overly preserved foods, etc. Eggs are one of the healthiest foods on the planet, butter isn't even that bad for you, just has saturated fat. Dietary cholesterol doesn't necessarily mean bad blood cholesterol. All depends on the person, and their genetics/medical history. I eat 6 eggs a day, and better LDL/HDL then you I'd wager. Get check up every 6 months, still going strong.
Depends on the person.
Decided to try this for breakfast today before lunch all I was missing was the nutmeg. Half way through eating i realized this is how my late grandmother made her eggs.
gave ye a good but sad memory eh?
Things were very different back in time but I love scrambled eggs. Myself, I add pepper, onions, garlic powder, cheese and a touch of milk for fluffiness and taste. Yummy. You
also did a great job per that receipt.
😆 sounds like an omelette!
I don't know what it is, but this guy just make me feel better. I don't know it's like some sort of simple, calm, authentic goodness he gives
For any French viewers, that’s a _Royale_ of butter.

Those statements don't contradict each other. Butter and eggs are great for you. The dummy at whatever heart health association that said saturated fat is bad for you died of a heart attack. Don't listen to those people.
@@ImNotJoshPotter that's a pretty ad-hominem style attack. Debunk their points don't talk about them personally. I'm sure any humans will make mistakes but you're not going to be able to Discount an entire field of science because one dude might have been wrong and had a heart attack.
@@JeromeADavis Jesus, just do your research. This is established science. Saturated fat should be about 80% of your calorie intake. Pubmed is your friend. Alternatively, check out WhatI'veLearned YT channel for a good intro to real nutrition science ( as opposed to the Zogchow propaganda pushed by international corporations intent on slowly killing us).
@@ImNotJoshPotter Edit: in hindsight, whoops, yeah yall are right, this was probably just split into multiple meals or used to serve multiple people :p
Original comment:
For most people the number of calories would make them vomit for hours
8 eggs (roughly) add up to 800 calories and the quarter pound of butter is about another 800
Eating 1600 calories of almost entirely protein and fat isn't that healthy by today's standards, although yes those nutrients are important to have in moderation
Although it's rational for people in the 18th century and before to consume that much in one sitting on account of all the labor and how they usually just ate 2 hearty meals a day.
saturated fat is bad when you eat a lot of it tho
1:58 “maybe you will see why I chose this particular one”
Me- I’m going guess there is nutmeg in it!
But did the recipe REALLY call for Nutmeg, or did John just sneak it in there?
It most likely called for it...
I'm german, and I have *never* in my life known someone who *doesn't* add Nutmeg to eggs, scrambled, fried or boiled.
And mostly, we won't add pepper, too!
But this isn't the first time I realise that, at least in the small place I call home, we still cook exactly like other parts of the world did 250 years ago... except we rarely use an open fire. 😉
Tejas Rob it can be read when he shows the page, so yeah, it called for it.
@@_JoyceArt It was just a joke.
hes onto the memes lads
jon this is a small thing that might not get mentioned often but whoever works your cameras does an excellent job. great cinematography on your videos!
I wish John was my Dad i feel like i could learn so much from him i already have threw all these videos thank you for being such an inspiration in my kitchen and in my heart big fan.

I am one that LOVES CHEESY eggs - but I tried this same version of eggs ( whisking the eggs placing them in the pan (on the stove…) and adding the cream and butter (not as much…) AND THOUGHT THE SAME THING. It was just like you said! Delicious!!
Its pretty much french style scramble eggs. Add chives and try on an everything bagel with a small drizzle of olive oil on the top. You wont regret it.

@@alumlovescake Hmm, hard to gauge valar power against the force. Morgoth was wounded pretty badly against fingolfin and he was just an elf. Depends on whether Sauron had the ring I suppose. Palpatine would be the only issue tbh. Unless you're including EU feats for the others.

I like browned scrambled eggs. when they are done then heat them to the point of browning the surface. It does, of course, dry them out, but on toast with a bit of honey, apple jelly, or even syrup they are quite nice. I will have to try the bit of nutmeg with this. I should think that would be wonderful..
Just found this channel last weekend and I have to say I just cant stop watching! I love cooking myself, and the addition of 18th century history just makes this so interesting and addicting to watch. Thank you so much for this wonderful channel!

Oh yeah, English used to have all nouns capitalized. Wonder what happened to that
Edit: I was interested so I googled it and it turns out that someone had also tried googling it and failed when they opened The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language by David Crystal and found this excerpt
-
“Hart recommended his readers to use a capital letter at the beginning of every sentence, proper name, and important common noun. By the 17th century, the practice had extended to titles (Sir, Lady), forms of address (Father, Mistris), and personified nouns (Nature). Emphasized words and phrases would also attract a capital. By the beginning of the 18th century, the influence of Continental books had caused this practice to be extended still further (e.g. to the names of the branches of knowledge), and it was not long before some writers began using a capital for any noun that they felt to be important. Books appeared in which all or most nouns were given an initial capital (as is done systematically in modern German) - perhaps for aesthetic reasons, or perhaps because printers were uncertain about which nouns to capitalize, and so capitalized them all.
The fashion was at its height in the later 17th century, and continued into the 18th. The manuscripts of Butler, Traherne, Swift, and Pope are full of initial capitals. However, the later 18th-century grammarians were not amused by this apparent lack of discipline in the written language. In their view, the proliferation of capitals was unnecessary, and causing the loss of a useful potential distinction. Their rules brought a dramatic reduction in the types of noun permitted to take a capital letter.”
-
So... it does seem true that this discretionary capitalization of common nouns was of 17th and 18th century flair and not from our Germanic past. And yeah quarantine is going well
Which when I think of it. It's technically right when all noun has capital because it's the name of the thing you know what I say.
The capitalization of nouns is not something I would expect to spontaneously arise among different languages. I suspect there is a common source for both the English and German styles.
If you read a letter or a manifesto from a whack-a-doodle they Capitalize Every Word because Their Message is VERY! IMPORTANT!!
And tiresome to work through. Less capitals is more calming.
Huh. Today I learned. Thanks. :)
In German they still capitalize proper nouns.
using that much butter makes sense when youre trying to just eat a piece of toast and then go work outside for 14 hours
Actually, it’s the toast, cereal, fruit and other carb/sugar based foods and fruits we’ve been taught to eat since the sugar industry paid for a hoax study 50 years ago that cause the problem.
Fat doesn’t cause health problems and weight gain. Carbohydrates and sugar do. Pancakes or waffles and syrup or a bowl of cereal is the worst thing you can do to yourself to start the day.
In fact, they wouldn’t have eaten before they went to work. We didn’t begin the tradition of breaking the fast before work until Mr Kellogg announced that breakfast was the most important meal of the day when he was trying to create a market for his new cornflakes cereal (corn products are extremely high in sugar). These people probably would have gotten up and gone to work and not eaten anything until closer to midday until Mr Kellogg invented the marketing phrase that changed the way we eat.
And how much you work has nothing to do with it. All the studies show that exercise has very little impact on weight gain/loss.
We also know now that a calorie deficit or excess has little to no effect because the brain adjusts the metabolic rate based on how much fuel you’re giving it. Cut your calories in half and you will feel run down with no energy to work or exercise. That’s why those diets never work for long. That’s why all but one of the Greatest Loser contestants gained their weight back.
What your calories are comprised of is everything. Eating that much butter is actually what kept them thinner.
@@tannertuner exercise and calorie deficits have significant effect on weight loss or gain bro, ion know wtf you’re saying
@@lavafixer8477 those of us who have learned how this really works know that studies have long shown that the effect of exercise on weight loss is negligible - to the tune of about .05% BMI (one half of one percent). There are too many experts out there trying to explain that the dogma you’re preaching is not only obsolete, it’s dead wrong.
Calorie deficits will result in the body lowering the metabolic rate to respond to the lower fuel levels. That’s also been studied.
If you want to lose fat you cannot eat a steady diet of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates interrupt the fat burning process when insulin is secreted to dispose of the the excess blood glucose. If you keep a constant level of insulin circulating, you cannot burn fat. Period. You will only burn the carbs you are taking in.
Further, the high carb, low fat diet our nation has preached the last 40-50 years is causing all kinds of metabolic disease, driving our health care spending sky high (about $2.5 trillion annually).
@@brockjustice3544 you weren’t eating healthy keto then. You were doing what we call “dirty keto”.
Healthy keto does incorporate a lot of cruciferous vegetables. And you absolutely must study olive oils because much of what is on the shelf branded as olive oil, ISN’T. And any product marketed as “keto” I would run from. Healthy keto is actually not a diet heavy in meat/protein, because if you get too much protein, your body will convert it into glucose.
What I know about a fruit and carb diet is that you WILL develop a fatty liver and drive the creation of other diseases that you may not realize until 20-30 years down the road.
They have LONG known that the primary driver of heart disease is the insulin response to glucose, which was exactly why the sugar industry paid for a hoax study in the 1960s to point the finger at fat and cholesterol instead. One of those researchers was appointed head of the USDA, and our low fat high carb food pyramid was born.
Now we know for a fact that saturated fat and cholesterol have zero impact on cardiovascular disease and LDL is actually PROTECTIVE against stroke.
All those carbs turn to glucose in the blood, which is the primary fuel of cancer. When insulin is present, the liver stops converting fat stores into ketones. Ketones are the only way the body can burn fat.

I was wondering what I would make for supper tonight and you convinced me to make 1755 Scrambled Eggs. Thanks for reminding me! I have options. 👍
Sometimes when cooking an egg I realize this is the same food and image people have experienced since the beginning of time.
I can’t wait for the Townsends and Food Wishes crossover that features a recipe with both Nutmeg AND Cayenne
And Gordon Ramsay with the butter cream and constant moving.
OMG I thought the same thing when he read out the ingredients. :)
Greatest crossover ever.
After all Chef John is the Jackie Chan of Cayenne.
Quite honestly I prefer the taste of jalapeno to the taste of cayenne. My favorite, though, is chipotle. Not the restaurant, but the smoked dried jalapeno pepper. My sister says I put it in everything. I guess that's my nutmeg.

My dainty hands are chafing just thinking about it
My favorite thing to make is clogged arteries
Eighteenth century polyethylene splayed flat and spread taught upon windowpane.
Kidding, of course. Love the content and tone of this channel. My absolute favorite on CZcams.
Yumma! It looks delish, great music, & location. Your description made breakfast appear in my mouth! Well done!
I'm in love with that little toaster. It looks so nice.
Coming soon to the "Arches of Gold" in the village square- "Buttered Eggs McToast"! Just trot your mare to the side window of the cabin, have your coins or barter items ready...
Hark! Oh, goodly Gilded Arches of yore, how you nourish thee.
Your videos bring me the much needed calm and peace in my life, and for that you have my everlasting gratitude
My new fave channel! Lots of love from Alaska!
During the blizzard of 93 my parents hadcto cook with our wood stove and amazing how much flaver the fire adds to your food and changes it completely
The type of wood can make a huge difference too, especially if the food comes into direct contact with smoke or flames. Generally avoid softwoods with alot of pitch.
We still use wood to heat, so we do a lot of cooking on the heating stove. It does give a different flavor to the food. I think it’s because we use hardwoods for heat, mainly hickory.
Blizzard of '93. Good times 😄
lmao
I lived in Maryland during the blizzard. So much snow, it was wonderful
i love how hes so happy about the eggs
I mean, right, they're Eggs! Happiness is a choice as much as it is happenstance.
Tried this recipe today, but in omelet form with pre-sauteed onions, tomatoes, and peppers. Was good. Since I had Covid eggs have an indescribable unpleasant odor/flavor, but this actually reduced or masked it enough to block that.
Jon’s enthusiasm is infectious! I love it!!
The way it sounded you better have some teeth to eat that toast.
I bet the roof of his mouth looks like a cheese grater
😳😂😂😂😂😂
That was my thought too. Just a hearty piece of toast
That's what real bread is like, in Europe this is still what we eat, Americans are the ones eating crappy soft sugary bread
GoulouMalouku brioche? French is European yes?
"Massive quantity of butter so they've got to be good!" The more butter the better for about everything!
except for your heart :D but as someone said, life in those time was probably generally healthier in terms of heart health as people were not as sedentary
Paula?
@@AnimatedStoriesWorldwide butter is still better for your heart than butter alternatives.
@@AnimatedStoriesWorldwide Fool. The french practically live off butter, cheese, cured meats and have a significantly lower rate of heart disease than the US. Carbs are the culprit.
@@VVesIey Was about to say it, good fats are good for you, so don't skimp olive oil or good butter.
Definitely my top 5 favorite on CZcams. I love how you do "research" on scrambled eggs. Lol.
Kent Rollins Cowboy Cooking is another favorite.
Saw 3 minutes of this. And I subscribed. Hopefully my kids will enjoy this with me.
