The History of American Food ·

2022/03/02

1660 - When England gets serious about money and stuff & makes some big changes to its laws. This is going to make some big changes to North America. But first - sugar is about to get cheap. Learn the one weird trick they used. Ok - it's not weird, its awful. But they did it - and so as not to do it again - time to learn about the how and the why.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com

The History of American Food ·

2022/03/02

When this whole America project got started as a bunch of random colonies, it wasn't just the Colonists there, they brought their servants as well. While there was slavery right from the jump, nearly all the domestic help in the 17th century were actually Indentured Servants. I'm not sure the right lessons were learned.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com Twitter: @THoAFoodWhen I figure it

Without cars - there were no drive-thrus, so was every meal a sit down affair? Of course not. Too much to do - and as we'll soon see - nobody's got time for 3 hot meals a day. Besides, that was practically gluttony.Apologies in advance for Nursery Rhymes.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com Twitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFoodFind out what fast food was in the Old World - and why it was

The History of American Food ·

2022/02/16

What critters are you willing to eat? If you were a certain kind of colonist, the answer would have been deer, or bird, possibly some certain fish, or none. And you would also likely be dead. The surviving children of these disasters and later arrivals had different opinions. Some because they were transported peasants and vagrants, other because they had just seen a whole bunch of people who were overly picky eaters die of starvation. But even the new adventurous eaters had standards. No one

2022/02/09

So I'm reading along about the Spice Islands and start to wonder - was #Dune just Frank Herbert vibing out in Big University Archives and smoking too many clove ciggies? But seriously, the world really did turn in on itself over the dried plant bits from a couple of islands between India and Australia. (Was it #Aliens? It wasn't Aliens.) But I will explain how the busiest place in the world in the 16th Century was a place that is really hard to get to even now, but has food you really want to

The History of American Food ·

2022/02/02

The debut of Rum - or Kill-Devil as it was known at first. Regardless, this was a bad liquor, and it was how you let other people know you were bad. Yo-ho-ho and all that. Molasses was the origin, and if anything, molasses was the receptacle of all of the evils of the sugar trade. You can clearly tell by its color of course. (If you are not a listener, and don't know me - heavens child, this is called sarcasm). And from this waste stream of white sugar, the Demon rum was born.Music Credit:

036 Fat - All that Moral Weight

The History of American Food ·

2022/01/26

Less Food and more Religious Baggage! I really know how to liven up a conversation. I was so taken aback at the preserved ire at humans just living in so much of the early New England writing, and how vilified the fat, the lazy, the people who even acknowledge pretty things, or like flavors were - that I had to do an episode on it.I was surprised at how old explicit fat-phobia, both in food and on bodies was in this country. So buckle up for the ride.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor

Soap - Just what is soap, and what makes soap... soapy? How do you make it? Is it better or worse than chemical detergents? And how were people getting clean before soap? I look into all that and more, and express my love for the 90's Comic Masterpiece _The Tick_.But seriously - Chemicals are not The Enemy - profiteering off fear is.Books and other info I promised:The Tick v.

035 Fat - Liquid Gold

The History of American Food ·

2022/01/19

Fat – and not for just this week, but next week too. I foolishly thought I could get through this in one week. Not so. As a result this week is fat overview and fat prestige rankings, and not until next week do I get on to the morality. But you do get to hear about my up close and personal time with cracklings.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood@gmail.com Twitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood
