#1: Comoros. Sweet Pea Soup with Coconut and Ginger Of all the countries where this project could have started, it never in a million years occurred to me that it might be Comoros.

The first country post of the Passport to Eat project is now out in the world!

(Cooking one dish from every country in the world.)

Strongly recommend going to seminars that end with a whisky tasting (Jonathan Reinarz on the history of the “noses” and smell in alcohol production) #HIstSTM #HistFood

Grain of Terror Why is the Western world so afraid of reheating rice? Joe Zadeh reports. Illustration by Ibrahim Rayintakath

Fascinating essay on *why* some cultures are terrified of reheating rice and others just...do it every day.
The justification cycle - racialised thinking, call to science, appeal to long past and/or 'traditional' wisdom - seems universal for this sort of food story #histFood

Where NYC’s Breakfast Carts Get Ingredients | Big Business | Business Insider YouTube video by Business Insider

Great video.
The title buries the lede, it's actually about the state of street food vending in NYC.

Amelia Simmons Pompkin Pudding No. 2 - HISTORICAL FOODWAYS It’s Fall in the Northern Hemisphere and it seems everyone in the United States becomes obsessed with pumpkin as soon as the first leaves turn.  It’s pumpkin lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, ...

It seems like a good time, if a bit late, to share two pumpkin pies I made over 10 years ago now from Amelia Simmons' American Cookery, published in 1796 and considered the first cookbook written and published in what is now the US.

A Quick Primer on Preferments: The Secret Sauce of Great Bread Pre-ferments are like marinating, but for bread. You could skip them, but why would you want to when they make everything better? And no, it's not just sourdough.

A followup to my previous post about commercial yeast.

The Wine Soup Experiment In the name of historical food research, I attempted a 1904 German recipe for wine soup. Despite my best efforts (and modern tools), the result was less than successful.

Further to this, here's what you get for 'food adulteration' from the MHL (please note: I have a rant and it isn't short about how irregular our metadata is so this is NOT comprehensive, but it's a starting place.) #histmed #histfood #histsci
