  • 143 Oats & Hay - Grass Runs the Early 19th Century World

    143 Oats & Hay - Grass Runs the Early 19th Century World
    Apr 16 2025
    As odd as it sounds, there was a time in American Food before oatmeal.

    And while that's wild on it's own, even more impossible to imagine is how much of agriculture used to be dedicated simply to growing food to feed the animals that allowed you to run the farm. Having solar panels and biodigesters to create power on the farm now is pretty wild... but it wasn't that long ago, all things considered when all the energy used on a farm was grown... on the farm!

    But it does help put into perspective how much energy it took to simply grow enough food for the farm - and then a little more to sell. The surplusses we have now - simply NOT possible.

    To learn about the origins of 40 acres and a Mule - no the earlier origins... and how 160 acres would become the standard for American farms, tune in, and marvel at the idea of the oatmeal raisin cookie - and how far away it is from it's high end hose food origin.

    Finally - Recipes for early 19th Century Fried Chicken - sorta.

    IT's time to learn some chicken history and face the reality about what chickens were really for in the early 19th century - eggs!
    If you wanted bird meat there were lots of better birds out there to eat above and beyond the scrawny backyard chcicken.
    But that was about to change as the worlds chickens began to come to America.

    To learn about all that and more - listen in.

  • 141 The Forking of America - When We Start to Stop Eating with our Hands

    141 The Forking of America - When We Start to Stop Eating with our Hands
    Mar 19 2025
    Ever notice that fabulous dinner parties depicted on screen rarely take place earlier than the 1800's - and in America pretty much always after the Civil War?
    Well! That's because in just about every one of those situations the eating etiquette would look so different it would be unrecognizable - in fact it's likely people would be eating with their fingers!

    Americans have only been eating with forks - on a regualr basis for about 150 years!
    The earliest Americans ate with their hands - becasue so did almost everyone else.

    Oh - and I answer the question, why do Americans constantly switch which hands they hold knife and fork when eating fancy?

    All manner of Fork Trivia is covered.

Love the attention to detail

Rabbit holes I never knew existed have been opened up for me. Greedily consuming this starting at the beginning. 💖

Getting Started

The information is interesting - I’ll hang around. Delivery... it’s early days. But I want to hear the whole story.
