I Tried Cooking: 17th Century Style (and i sweat a. LOT.)

ANYWHO for this video I wanted to do something a little bit different hehehe. I am always so eager to learn history through actually DOING vs reading or listening, so I ventured (with the help of the crew over at Plimoth Patuxet Museum) to learn about different cooking customs of 17th century New England. With their guidance, I learned about Wompanoag cooking and also the English, which is what this video is!
As you watch, know that there were beads of sweat present the ENTIRE time, and enjoy.
LOVE YOU BYE

The woman teaching her how to cook is so sweet. She's looking at her like have you ever even seen a kitchen?
-
Petition for Rachel to do 80 more of these videos, and also for Rachel to recreate that lovely grey jacket she wore it was so beautiful
-
This woman is giving it her all and staying in character, I stan her
-
i've never heard the term toothsome before but i love it
-
I feel like Rachel is a little tongue-tied for fear of messing up the historic vibe, so she has to put all her meme-y thoughts up on the screen in writing for us instead. I honestly love her introvert extra spice. They’re the pepper to my carrots 😂
-
Yes! Finally someone depicts cooking as it really is: a lot of sweating.
-
"Thou not expecting a loaf?" lmao that was fantastic. I feel like that woman knew you were digging her quips and played on it. She's awesome.
-
love that the actress realized you were into sniffing things and eventually just offered things for you to sniff lol
-
As someone who works in museum education this video was amazing!! I hope that you are able to more videos like this in the future! If you ever want to do a museum video in the southwest, I can help with that!
-
The goodwife doing the teaching is an absolute gem❤ this is like a chaotic English Heritage episode 😂🎉
-
All the anxiety giggles, sniffing everything, and sweating made this pure gold. 😅 So relatable.
-
I absolutely loved this, I visited there with a friend once and it was so cool to step into a piece of history ❤ I do wish you had shown the Native American demonstration on the main channel as well, such beautiful representation deserves to be available to all.

European me was just about to go to bed but naaaaah, WE GOT RACHEL 🎉
-
"thou not expecting a loaf?" I replayed this part so many times
-
This video was such a cool experience but I find myself wishing the Wampanoag food culture video wasn't locked behind a paywall because that information seems very valuable to share to larger audiences. I just think that native cultures can be ignored and taken for granted in the mainstream so it'd have be nice to see. All love to Rachel and I know I would watch any video of her experiencing new things in olden times <3 her shenanigans is always incredible :)

Okay, but there is nothing more wholesome in the world than hearing the difference between the hearty voice of the lady in the kitchen and Rachel’s quiet little remarks like a kid in the biggest candy store in the world. Amazed, overwhelmed, and a little shy. 😂💖 WE LOVE HER

I was an "informant" (costumed interpreter) at Plimoth Plantation around 1980. I immediately recognized the costume everything there was so familiar. I really loved that job.
-
I just want to say props to the interpreter. She stayed committed all throughout this madness 🤣
-
Rachel moving the coals to fry curds, makes me think of Claire from outlander, she gets frustrated with a modern stove and cooks dinner in the fireplace, and her guests comment on the wonderful smokey flavor……this was a fun video, thanks Rachel.

Lily Tupper is an absolute star, so intereating and engaging! What a brilliant museum experience!!
