For Christmas each year, we have fried chicken tacos.
It started when my grandmother was little - she was growing up in Arizona during the Great Depression, in an area heavily populated by Mexican people. For Christmas, her mother would take whatever meat they had and throw it in tortillas.
When she was older and had kids (my mom and her 6 older brothers, she decided to go back to her traditions, but put her own twist on it. She worked in a restaurant, so she would get a ton of chicken cooked up at work, take a big bag of cheese, and - home sweet Ohio - deep fried them in oil.
It-s been my family-s tradition for my entire life, and quite a chunk of my mother-s.
Just since you asked about family recipes: )

so I worked in the produce section of a local store as its order writer, and im not sure, but isn't the second pumpkin a hubbard squash? we would get in both cooking pumpkins, and a boxes of hubbard and the hubbard would have identical specimens to the one she's peeling at 15: 30 or is the hubbard a member of the pumpkin family so it counts for making a -pumpkin pie- and not a squash pie (harkening back to earlier in the video talking about her friend w/ the cookbook, which i had heard the same thing from other sources)

Really fascinating, thank you so much Sohla!
That ancient English pumpkin pie really looks like a traditional English mince-pie (made with mincemeat, that is dried fruits, apple, fat, spices, rather than minced/ground meat. I have no idea how old mince pie recipes are but they are a very established part of English Christmas fayre. (Some say fruit mince meat could come from the 13th century when crusaders returned to Europe with Middle Eastern recipes and ingredients)
Have a great pumpkin season!

Would they have -chilled- the crusts? Just let them rest or just forged ahead. Also, they would not have used such refined sugar. Sugar would have been in a cone and been darker adding more flavor to food. Lastly, stop giving people grief that buy and use premixed spices. The cost to buy a variety of spices, especially if you only use them occasionally, can be outside of ones budget. Buying a premade spice is much more cost effective.

So glad I found this video! During our Thanksgiving dinner this year, we had a conversation about whether or not our modern -Thanksgiving- dishes were really typical of what people living on the east coast in the 17th century would have available. We decided that next year, we want our Thanksgiving dinner to be more authentic. I have a lot of research to do, but I think I-ve found a good place to start. Thank you!

You should try making Dolma. It is a dish made by wrapping a filling of meat and rice in either a grape leaf or even hollowed out vegetables. I-m Armenian and we have our version of this dish but I also know Greek people also have their version. The origins of this dish are claimed by many different cultures so it would be so interesting to see where the earliest recipe came from and how it was made.

Please pre-bake/roast the whole pumpkin/skin on/seeds and all. Once you can easily insert a knife into it, it's done. Let it cool a while, then scoop out the baked ingredients rather than risking cutting yourself up with a peeler or knife. If that would have been me back many moons ago, I would have baked it until it was soft, then worked with it.

In the card that said, -The squash gives it a more consistent sweet taste and more consistent rich orange color than what pure pumpkin would do- the last part seems really awkward, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to crowd source an edit. My suggestion would by to edit all the way down to, -than pure pumpkin-.

I love how chatty this is. This is hard to do! It sounds natural and like you are talking to us. Love a LOT of Sohla! (pumkin forward) BTW, I'd love her to find a native american sweet---I am thinkig some groups ate maple sugar candy (read somewhere, but there must have been more interesting/involved sweets.

well i just gotta say that i love libby's canned pumpkin. Libby's has actually spent years hybridizing a pumpkin to be orange, sweet and have a very smooth consistency. I have never liked any other type of canned pumpkin but i never understood why until i did a little bit of research.

weird seeing you use a peeler on a pumpkin. when i made pumpkin pie i would quarter it. take the seeds out (for roasting to eat) then boil the pumpkin, cool it, and pull the peel off with my fingers. it was super easy to peel that way like a ripe avacado.

I don't think that the Wampanoag people would have had a pumpkin pie. At least not a pie crust. North America did not have cows or chickens until the Europeans arrived - meaning no milk or eggs. Maybe Turkey egg or duck eggs? Llama milk?

The trick to using canned pumpkin is Lakeshore brand. I couldn't find it in New England and substituted with a leading brand that was dreck and ruined the recipe. It's not historical that I know of but a sour cream crust is amazing.

After Bon Appetite was dismantled for their racist bulls--t I expected more from Sohla. She should have know better than to speak about native food with the mindset of a colonizer. The pleasant pilgrim narrative is over!

-Hate- is a complete waste of your energy. Better to give it ALL to God and let him deal with bad people. That way you never have to waste your energy on people who don't matter anyway. Whoosh, life made easy -

I could never put food outside to cool or dry with these animals around here. They can-t be trusted. My daughter went to get a drink and I came out to find a seagull with her pizza slice in its mouth flying away.

Pumpkins from the Americas were introduced into Europe in the 1550's and found their way into pies quickly, so the pilgrims were already familiar with the gourd & pie prior to arriving in north America.

Elephant ears, huh. Those look familiar to what my Portuguese mom used to make. We don't call them that(they are called Malassadas ) but my mom made them like that with tons of sugar! So yummy.
