Welcome to the history cookbook. Do you know what the Vikings ate for dinner? What a typical meal of a wealthy family in Roman Britain consisted of, or what food was like in a Victorian Workhouse? Why not drop into history cookbook and find out? This project looks at the food of the past and how this influenced the health of the people living in each time period. You can also try some of the recipes for yourself. We have a wide range of historical recipes from Brown Bread Ice Cream to Gruel (Why not see if you would be asking for more - just like Oliver Twist).

The Mexicans around here eat a lot of goat, so it is available. And I don't know if you mean domesticated rabbit? I don't know if I've ever eaten home grown rabbit. We hunt the local cottontails. I suppose they are the mountain cottontail, but I doubt they are really much different from place to place.

And if you're in the neighborhood when we are having a pig fry, drop by.

Two of the most valuable cookbooks, I ever owned are: *Joy of Cooking* and *Hook 'em & Cook 'em*

When you are living in remote regions or subsistence living for any reason, who the heck knows how to cook a sea robin and make it palatable?

I consider the early version of Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques an essential.

If you can read, you can made some pretty amazing meals out of what your *hunter/gatherer* drags in.

Unfortunately this bird is rapidly declining in numbers and we haven’t hunted them for a while. What was really cool was to find a “booming” ground in the Spring to watch the courtship ritual. Really quite impressive.

Criminy...barefoot and preggers too? Whachugonnado when your family coat-o-arms says: *if it flies it dies-if it's brown it's down* ...you gotta learn to cook it well enough so it doesn't kill anyone. Louisiana hot sauce disguises a multitude of sins.

Try this one. It is a fun read with the commentary on the recipes.

I like "The Little House on the Prairie Cookbook".

Rye'n'Injun bread with baked beans has become a favorite winter Sunday supper in our house.

LOL-and I thought I had the original historic cookbook from Betty Crocker.

We made Roman Honeycakes for a home school project and they were delicious!

“... who the heck knows how to cook a sea robin and make it palatable?”

I had to laugh when I read that!! I actually know how to cook sea robins! I don’t hunt, so any sort of wild game is a mystery to me. However, I have learned a trick or two with fish!

[kevkrom]

Neat way to experience a bit of history.

[Daffynition]

Ugly pests!

[momtothree]

I’ve gotten stuck with those barbs! They can definitely “ouch”. However, the meanest fish (IMHO) is a bluefish. Nasty, mean tempered critters.

You don’t have to go out and buy toothpicks either. They are already supplied. :-)

I like “Fix It And Forget It,” cookbook, quick, easy and delicious in the crockpot.

[MayflowerMadam]

“thru out”? Good grief.

[Daffynition]

Bats. They have a persuasive use.
