Event: Food Preservation
This group of Millbrookians discuss the past in terms of food, from mealtime to food preservation and getting through the winters.
These discussions include ice deliveries, smoking or salting meats and fish, jam making, and more.
The group discusses the average dinner in January or February which included turnip, potatoes, meat, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and capers, cod and fishcakes.
They reminisce about making homemade ice cream out in the snow bank before electricity, and adding salt to keep it cool and keep ice crystals from forming.
How a quarter would feed a family of 4 and leave enough for candy!
How immigrants brought the wonderful world of pasta into our lives.
And black squirrel as a specific cuisine in early Millbrook?
