Townsend videos are great -- it's not just the recipes, it's the history he includes and the authentic period gear -- so much nice visual detail

I agree, Don Aldo. Those are the very reasons why I posted this particular video. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for providing this. As a long-time student of the writings of O'Brien and Forster, I find it a wonderful augmentation of my sense of the reality of the time.

I particularly liked the part where the 'Romans observed the Celts taking the foam off of beer to make a lighter bread' .... interesting =]
