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

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 few more primary sources on food adulteration? I'm angry, so why not. #histmed #histsci #histfood

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
Here's a thread of primary sources on food adulteration, starting with a title from 1822. #histmed #histfood
Digging through 1970s issues of Community Care magazine for social workers' responses to fuel poverty, and I'm coming across so much interesting stuff on Meals-on-Wheels. Please tell me someone excellent has written a history of Meals-on-Wheels I can read? #HistMed #HistFood

Does anyone know if 'Ulster Folklife' is available to search online? I can't seem to find a way (other than BBIH). I'm looking for folklore on food & courtship/marriage customs with an Ulster focus TIA #Food #Folklore #HistFam #HistFood #FoodHistory Will save me a bit of time...
