We still have all the puddings - we just came up with more awsome names for them. Popover is way more awesome than "drippings pudding" and nobody ever turns down a proper coconut cream pie. And it's nice to not get confused over whether that pudding on the table is a sweet one or is it actually sausage. That's right - America became the disambuigation machine for puddings.

Why is American bread like that? Why did we swoon of "Old Fashioned Bread" during the pandemic? What happened so that our bread is these nice neat rectangular loaves with close textured middles and soft crust perfect for sandwiches - while so much of the rest of bread world is more interesting?The answers - surprisingly enought lie in the start of the 19th century when the New Americans got itchy feet and started to head Out West.

120 Corn - The National Vegetable

The History of American Food ·

2024/05/29

Corn is so hot right now. No other crop even comes close in the 19th century. This week corn grows up and shows up everywhere but on the fanciest of tables. It's mush, it's booze, it's pork & beef and butter... and fancy pleated collars. But wait, there's more! It was important in the Napoleonic Wars, and the power shifts in Ireland. And ithelped drive America's first major economic depression. Pretty powerful for a little grain. Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes:
