Cooking “Leather Britches” |Forgotten Foods| Real Historic Recipes

What are leather britches? It’s in the name! A dish that feels like you are eating a man’s old leather pants…ok maybe it’s not that bad, in fact they are very good! Britches was a kind of pants worn by men in the 1700s. Some were made out of leather. Make this dish at home and tell me do they taste like leather pants?

  1. 8:02 the one that got away 😢. For my fellow china enthusiests the dinner plates featured at the end of the video are Spode's Blue Italian. The Blue Italian print has been in production since 1816!

  2. 5:55 where did you get the pot you’re rehydrating the beans in? Actually I love the whole set of clay or stoneware ❤
    We are going to be looking at houses Sainte Genevieve in a few months!

  3. Justine, try drying strawberries, apples and lemons. My mawmaw dried apples on her well house on a white sheet with a screen over them. The apples would turn dark brown.the very best fried apple pies were made from these…not like apple sauce with light colored apple sauce…no these were dark…looked like apple butter..the color of.

  4. Amazing , Justine . You are the master chef of the kitchen . Somebody is getting big . Adorable. So well done as usual . Thank you .❤❤❤❤❤

  5. I absolutely LOVE your videos. You do an excellent job of making sure that your videos mirror what life was like from clothing to the way things were done! Excellent. God bless you and your “growing” family! 😍

  6. Loved the video. Just the sounds of the house, outdoors, a comment here and there, Bubba giggles, just love it all!
    Where's kitty? I hope she's ok with the paraquettes!

  7. I had to pick them and then needle and thread 🧵 hang them behind wood Cook stove many times 👍💥💯

  8. My ex-husband's dad used to make this with canned green beans, canned potatoes, and cooked leftover bacon and I absolutely loved it. I see now where it comes from. They cooked on an old school wood cook stove until about 1997.

  9. Wait a minute got birds in the house and where is mish mish!! You’d think he be after them birds!!😂😂😂

  10. Ive not watched in awhile.. is this fmed at the home you all were building? Baby is adorable and getting big!❤

  11. I just love your videos! I had a thought for some content our little homeschooling family would love. Could you make some videos recreating some foods described in the little house on the prairie books? We have read them together and it would be so enriching to see it come to life in a small way

  12. First, how is bubba already almost crawling?? Second, your food looks amazing!! I don't know how you are so thin lol. And third, happy Valentine's day!

  13. I’ve been rereading the Little House in the Prairie books and in one of the books (Farmer Boy), it talks about Almonzo’s childhood and how his mom would make “apples and onions”. Can you see if there is such a recipe and possibly make it?
