What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

That Neiman Marcus chain letter... talk about a relic!
My family had a copy of that letter in the late 80s/early 90s except it was a Mrs. Fields recipe. I knew exactly what it would be from your comment
Good! We need the niche communities to start growing if we're gonna rid the world of Reddit
Does "tiny sublemmy of the day" exist anywhere yet? Might be a good way to discover and grow small communities.
If it does a random sampling, 90% will be various combinations of yiff, anime, trans, femboys, and obnoxiously breasted women. There's gotta be some curation in the lemmysphere for that to work.
obnoxiously breasted 😂
Imagine making out with someone and out of nowhere their tits are just like "You know, you should call your mother. Also the grass needs mowing." Then they go park their car across two handicapped spaces even though they don't have the little mirror hangy thing.
Well, you see, this is remedied by partnering with people in the itty bitty titty committee. Neither of us are obnoxiously breasted as a result. Real-life Ds and beyond are their own pain in the ass, I can't imagine trying to be an anime character with the physics-defying shenanigans.
Tl;dr: our tits don't double park the car <3
Yeah, I believe the Reddit one was curated. Anyone could nominate a tiny subreddit, but the mods would make the final call.
Here here! I second that sexy idea!
Let's make til the new discovery community!
What a treasure trove! Right up my alley. Thanks!
Thanks! I love finding new communities like this and I'm an adventurous cook
How many of them are just a recipe from a label of 1950s cream of mushroom soup?
This is so cool! Finally, a use for all those squirrels.
finally a place for all gamgams famous tuna, orange and spinach aspic
Any good video channels for this sort of stuff - YouTube or otherwise?
I can't believe no one has mentioned Max Miller with Tasting History on Youtube. His videos are great, covering not just what was going into the recipe, but the historical context as well. https://www.youtube.com/@TastingHistory
Townsend does a lot of Colonial meals from that era of the United States. That's about all I got for you.
Make sure to find other sources before believing anything he says. He repeats a lot of "conventional wisdom" and truthisms that aren't actually accurate. He also has a pro-christian and whitewashed bias to his retelling of some things. I'd describe his channel more as historically inspired cosplay as opposed to retelling documented historical facts.
Yeah, he's not the best source for information of any kind really, good production values though. All you need is a slick production and people will eat up anything you say.
I agree completely, although OP just asked for channels featuring old cooking recipes, and that is all I recommend Townsend for.
It's a little different, more historical content than "vintage" but Tasing History is a great YouTube channel
Sounds shocking.
Check out B Dylan Hollis on YouTube!
Look up Dylan Hollis! He's on YouTube and tests old recipes - be warned, he brings a LOT of personality lol. I really enjoy his videos and just picked up his cookbook, Baking Yesteryear.
His insta is amazing.
Glen and Friends Cooking does a lot of recipes from old cook books. He also does cocktails from old bartending books, if that's your thing. He has a very warm and welcoming charm that makes for a pleasant and relaxing viewing experience.
Every Sunday morning is the Old Cookbook Show!
Do they have to be good recipes?
Vintage is old?
