Who had the best Christmas cookie recipe? - Ancient Recipes With Sohla Jessica: I don-t think the recipes needed salt because butter was heavily salted for freshness. Also, the bread was probably already salted for taste when it was dough. Maybe other ingredients were packed in salt for shipping as well? I imagine a long sea voyage could be pretty moist for cargo and even dry goods could go off before reaching their destination if not well packed. So many things were preserved with salt before refrigeration. I doubt anyone craved more salt in their sweets.

Actually claret didn't mean clear wine it was a dark rose wine that was spiced and it wasn't till the middle of the 18th century where it switched to being a dry Bordeaux wine. Nowadays most people recreating recipes that call for using claret tend to use a fortified wine like sherry(sweet not cooking) or port.

if the molds work the same as dutch speculaas molds- you don't have to grease the molds, just flour them with rice flour! that way they come out really easily.
i wonder what came first, speculaas or gingerbread? queen victoria's gingerbread kinda reminds me of speculaas, except for. the bread and wine lol

Have to disagree on the choice of bread. The Elizabethan gingerbread was ALL about the flex, it was a dish for showing off, they would have used the fairest flour they could get. Like those things were often completely coated in gold leaf for serving, they were not for a brown-bread kind of affair.

Chanukah ended almost a week ago. It's not the -holiday season-, it's the Christmas season. I wish people would just admit it! Chanukah isn't Jewish Christmas and isn't about winter (it's about a military victory against a colonial occupier. Just leave us out of it, and enjoy the cookies!

The gingerbread stick man would be cool with some frosting for kids to dip into. The shaping is also very kid friendly.
It isn't ancient but I think covering the history of peasant dishes that became favored by wealthy people are interesting. Things like lobster bisque.

oh i'd love it if sohla tackled some polish cuisine? you could do bigos (hunter's stew) that was described in an epic from like 19th century, i think that'd be rad!
thanks for being awesome and having one of the best cooking shows ever

I made speculaas biscuits recently and bought some cute traditional Dutch moulds specially for the occasion. I don't know how to get good definition! I tried freezing the moulded biscuits before baking but it didn't help.

Cleopatra's favorite types of food's, and that mummified Irish bog man would be a good one. Plus they found that iceman with wooly mammoth which difficult to recreate, but I think he had seeds etc in his stomach.

ancient greek philosophy still informs so much of western life - what were plato, socrates et al. eating that made their ideas so impactful that they continue to influence how we negotiate the world?
reply

Wouldn-t it have made sense to use floured rolling pin to get the dough in the cookie mold? It allows for pressure to get into the nooks, and also acts as a leveler to remove the excess dough.
reply

they must have had a better way of making bread crumbs surely? i cant imagine someebody grating bread for an hour with a tiny grater. they must have had some big stone grinders or something

Sohla is such an expert chef that she is always successful in these ancient recipes even with guessing. It would've been impossible if the person doesn't have expertise in food.

As someone who has textural issues both mouth-wise and feeling-wise, I don't think I could ever do finger-whisking, that kinda slimy and off texture would just make me very uncomfy
reply

I would have just put the dough in the mold, pressed it down well enough, put a floured cutting board on top, flipped it, pressed the mold down firmly, lifted and trimmed the excess.
reply

What about the Khans of the Mongol Empire? We learn next to nothing about them in western history and yet they played such a vital role in shaping world history and culture.

What a wild time. Imagine at the presidential debate one of the candidates starts talking about gingerbread men. And by the end the crowds chants Abe! over and over.
reply

This is not an ancient recipe per se, but the Sporkful does an episode about Rosa Parks- pancakes. I-d love to learn more about the foods of the civil rights movement.

When I saw you were posing your Lincoln gingerbread I suddenly had an idea to use the dancing men code from a Sherlock Holmes short story. I am inspired! Thank you!

could you explore the first sandwich, by the Earl of Sandwich? What was the bread like, the cheese, the meat, and were there any condiments or toppings?
