Food History

Sometimes I'm forced to confront the fact that most people aren't even remotely interested in the sort of thing that absolutely fascinates me. It always surprises me, though I'm not sure why, because I should certainly know better by now. For instance this afternoon I have been on a food history tear and keep losing my original train of research to flit off after some different tangent, like what the Vikings ate, which will lead me to stumble upon some old menus from Disney in the 60s. This Food Timeline website I've found is pretty darn terrific and comprehensive. I like to glance over primary or secondary sources for accuracy, and this site even lists a few of those too.

Here's the main timeline:

This might be my favorite section:

I might have to have an eighties style food soiree pretty soon.
