RE: 1860s Period Foods - Including Good Down Home Eatin'
Have found some wonderful period cookbooks - the first is Mrs. Goodfellow's Cookery as it Should Be, 1865, published by T. B.Peterson Brothers - the very same firm which published the Conspiracy Trial Transcript! This is a FREE PDF -
http://books.google.com/books/about/MRS_...G8ibYsE_EC (Anyone who wants a copy of this - I have it in PDF format if you can't download it for any reason....just let me know!) Also - another good book (eBook is cheapest) is Lincoln's Labels which details the period products which still exist today and were popular in Mr. Lincoln's time - http://www.amazon.com/Lincolns-Labels-Am...1889020281 I own this one and it's a good one..... Think that I'm gonna buy this one for $3.99 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076PH...B0076PHDXY This site is wonderful -- curious as to what they even <ahem> drank? Includes some "buzz" receipts as well! And yes, "Potato Chips" or "Crisps" existed during the Civil War!! http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/cookbook.htm "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
