    The not eating the pie crust actually surprises me. Apparently my 7-year-old had it right all along. It's also kinda cool how pie crust went from "throw it away, we don't eat it" to "gotta make sure I perfect the crust on my pie this year, it has to be nice and flaky."

      Early curses (such as the standing crust) were typically hard and tough. Average people aren't going to have ready access to servingwear all the time like we do today, so they needed something that was cheap, easy to make (realtively), and disposable; while also standing up to movement.

      @@fealubryne reading I do not have, but there is a channel called James Townsend and Son on CZcams that covers history (mostly food) of the late 17th, all of the 18th, and very early 19th century. The main host tries to keep it as authentic as possible. He cooks in a German kitchen with a hearth, has an indoor and outdoor earthen oven, and uses many of the same utensils that the average person would have used.
      He goes into the history of the recipe, the ingredients (and why some are no longer available), and tries to fill in gaps from things left out that would have been common knowledge to people in that century.
      Some basic things:
      Cornmeal became popular in the Americans colonies partially because corn was so easy to grow, but also because most of the wheat was shipped back to Europe.
      The salt pork you can buy in the grocery store today is not like the old salt pork of the past, which required a great deal of rinsing and soaking before use to try and draw out some of that salt content.
      Pickled eggs got their color originally came from carmine that was mixed with the pickling solution. Carmine being the crushed shells of a central American bug.
      Brick dust and various sands were used for cleaning dish, and they could really remove some build up.
      Eggs were stored in salt, ash, saw dust, barley, and slaked lime.

    The cake mix thing is true, but not for the reasons Adam said. The first mixtures were so easy that they were unpopular with housewives because it felt like they had to put in no effort of their own. By making the recipe more complicated, people felt like the result was a bigger achievement. This is also called the Ikea-effect, because it was proven in a study where people had to compare the value of furniture they built themselves with that of pre-assembled furniture. It turned out people valued things higher when they had to put in effort to get it.

      They did that and spent an entire episode correcting all of hte things they got wrong in previous episodes that were pointed out. so they took the feedback and made an entire episode of corrections to ensure they were continuing to put forward a good faith effort to present facts and reliable sources for viewers. It's one of hte reasons I respect the show so much.

    The thing about the eggs was kinda right and kinda wrong.
    It wasn't some weird freudian thing about wanting to "offer her egg to her husband." It was because the marketer thought that women felt it was too self-indulgent and therefore not fulfilling.
    In truth the actual problem was there were cake mixes which included dried egg in the mix and those that didn't (those require an egg to be added).
    The ones with dried egg in the mix were dry, stuck to the pan, did not keep as long, tasted too eggy, and other myriad of issues.
    The mixes that required an egg to be added did much better because the cake made from it was better.
    Don't try to not add an egg to your cake mix. It won't come out right.

    I dislike when people suggest that because something originated outside of these United States that thing isn't American. The truth is most things originated outside the United States. What makes America thrive and prosper isn't forcing things to be American or only accepting what originated here, it's taking things from all over and using those things to strengthen the whole, welcoming change and accepting it as a means of strengthening what we started with.
    The worst episodes in American history have been when we've tried to resist, change, oppress, or eradicate cultural differences.
    In this context apple pie is very much American. It's an import we've embraced as a part of our own culture, and we're better for it.

      Joshua Fahrney raptors wouldn’t be as effective as the movies make them appear to be. While they’d be faster, their less thick skin wouldn’t be able to repel bullets of a semi substantial size. Also, fighter jets are equipped with guns as well. Pterodactyls don’t have a body structure and anatomy to be able to take bullets. Birds, like pterodactyls, have weaker bones and less heavy meat and skin in order to fly. I doubt it could survive bullets. And raptors still don’t solve the problem for tanks, tanks use massive balls of steel as ammunition that explodes upon impact, causing shrapnel to explode everywhere. The raptors wouldn’t get out of the way in time.
