In this episode, Sohla goes all the way back to the Stone Age to recreate the oldest* recipe ever: a nettle and barley pudding.
*Maybe? It’s really, really old, so we’re going with it!
THE OLDEST(-ish) RECIPE IN THE WORLD:
Ingredients:
— 1 bunch of sorrel
— 1 bunch watercress
— 1 bunch of dandelion leaves
— Some chives
— 1 cup of barley — soaked
— Some Venison
— Beef Bung
Steps:
1. Chop up the herbs & weeds. Crush & mash the barley with a mortar & pestle. Chop the venison until finely minced.
2. Using a spoon, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined. Add a little water to combine the mixture, if necessary.
3. Stuff the beef bung with the venison & herb mixture. Tie off each end of the stuffed bung with a string & cut off the excess bung.
4. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the stuffed beef bung & cook until the meat is done.

In Australia, “pudding” is usually a boiled or steamed cake like dessert (sometimes baked- like “self saucing puddings”) we also SOMETIMES use the word pudding to mean dessert in general.
From what I’ve gathered, the American “pudding” is more like what we would call a flavoured custard!?🤷♀️
Every time Sohla said “beef bung” I heard “beef bum”!🤷♀️🤣
You should of blown in the beef bing like a balloon
they used a big mortar and pestel to mix alot of there mixed foods
This is the most fascinating show!
annoying nasal
She reminds me of Drew Barrymore
You would get the cow parts at a Mexican grocery. They make Menudo from it.
Sohla try medieval sweetmeats pls.
I’m afraid to eat stinging nettles. What does it do to your insides?
I guess, they did not discover salt at the time. Mushroom would be nice in there, too. I am sure the mushrooms existed then.
This has more Paleo hipster dork vibes than ancient recipe. Maybe stone hatchet would’ve been better.
Yes they had knives! Obsidian ones are the sharpest (as sharp as a modern scalpel) but if you’ve ever tried to cut something with a flake of flint, it will probably do a better job than the anything in your kitchen drawer. Some prehistoric knives even had handles because they were created by inserting lots of tiny flakes into a wooden handle; the original box cutter with replaceable blades.
I can’t hear “bung” without immediately triggering a Beavis and Butthead dialogue in my mind
Flint knapping and midwifery are the oldest professions so they would have been able to cut the meat
This girl is smart
History channel for the win
Would love to see recipes from the Byzantine empire. I love turkish food and I think some of them are quite old.
i love this series so much! sohla is so cool
I’d like to see the oldest hot chocolate recipe. Thanks Sohla.
Sohla always makes some kind of spin with her arm whenever she tastes food 😆
I can assure you that now, we do not eat hedgehogs!
stone age man used flint knives which were used in butchery , modern reproductions have shown that they are brutally sharp and cut very fine 🙂
I like how sohla’s chewing now has its own theme song.
Almost like a spanakopita?
When you put your hands in, I nearly spit out my tea laughing, Sorry.…They call them stinging nettles for a reason. You take the sting out by drying them or wilting them in a steam or boil, or braising them dry over flame. Stinging nettles has more iron, vitamin A, and calcium than dandelions. None of them will give you much of those unless you cook them. The more you cook a green, the more you break down cell walls and make the vitamin A available. Also Stone Age people had knives, darlin’. They just weren’t made of metal. And you can make rennet out of nettles which probably came before the stomach lining rennet.
Sow in America can we subsidize a possum for a hedgehog
As a kid I grew up in Alaska eating nettles and fiddleback ferns and all that good stuff
This also looks like a good way to stretch the venison.
They had knives in the stone age. Sharp rock shards sharpened to a blade.
Fun fact: we were in massive settlements with ranches and farms in 10,000 BCE. Check out Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe (sp?).
This recipe is so old, it’s so old that it tries to fight back.
they would have had obsidian as sharp as any knife
giff=[
Honestly, that looks delicious
I am repeatedly shocked at the “stuff” being said here (as if they’re facts) regarding the stone age: they “only” had rocks (you mean they couldn’t stir something with a stick!?), they threw rocks at an animal until it died (ahm, have you ever seen the Khoisan hunt!?), and they couldn’t “cut” the meat as they didn’t have knives (they HAD stone knives! How else would they have been able to cut/skin/butcher the animal into parts in the first place!?)
But what shocks me the most is that arrogant, first world attitude towards ancient humans… based on what seems ignorance and lack of insight into HOW difficult and hard these tasks truly were to accomplish with primitive tools.
Also, btw. you should moisten the “casing” so you can stuff it… how did you not know and why did you not inform yourself beforehand.
We wanted to watch the whole series of these recipes because we really enjoy Max Miller. But all above factors have really put me off.
Also a pudding in Brittain is anything (savory or sweet) boiled in a CASING (or cloth) for several hours. Not that weird thing you said…
I have had dandelion root coffee, and it definitely does not taste like coffee. it was very disappointing. I was really hoping it had some similar flavor😂
They wouldn’t just grab fresh nettles. Blanch the green s to deactivate the sting.
Oldest recipe is pozole mexican stew..going back more then 10,000 years ago or more .it consist of corn squash and chilis😊
they probably had obsidian knives.
They had knives but it was flint knives.
Subscribed & Liked strictly because of the beef bung counter.
