Another fun historical cookbook is Lobscouse and Spotted Dog, Which It's a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin Novels by Anne Grossman and Lisa Thomas. We've made several of the deserts (Boiled Baby and Quaking Pudding are delish) however we've skipped the rat recipes.

That’s so cool! I just sent the link to my daughter (who I HOPE goes to Stanford in two years but whom I also encourage to branch out into the culinary field since that’s generally a profession that is recession resistant).

Thanks for the link!

My Uncle’s recipe for Sage Chicken stew:

1 medium sized porcupine
6 chopped spuds
8 chopped carrots
2 cans tomatoes
1 large onion
1 cup chopped celery
Italian seasonings, salt, cayenne pepper (to taste)

Throw it all in a pot and cook it till it’s ready.

Note: Hack the porcupine into small enough pieces so as people dinna get suspicious.

I’m going to try the Roman Honeycakes first.

Thanks for the link!

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.

Neat way to experience a bit of history.
