One day you’re writing about Chicona Bark and Quinine smuggling in the American Civil War. And then you read that Malaria Vaccines are WORKING!!!!! www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

I have become obsessed with making better and better dressings due to @emilyreesnunn and the incredible Department of Salad I find myself using my stick blender so #FoodThreads 1/2

I found a Civil War statue we can keep! Mary Bickerdyke had the crazy idea of figuring out how to properly feed wounded soldiers.

Just absolutely pleased that this book was released at the end of February 2026 So much hard work done! Amazing

Say it in Futurama #FoodFuturism

Guess What? Typhus is coming back! It's not enough that we get to re-experience raw-milk-borne disease and measles, now we get Typhus as well. I WANT THE 19th C to be HISTORY - enough with the live reenactment.

Looking for the line in Hamilton where they reference “seeing the elephant” Turns out there is a British movie called “Hamilton the Musical Elephant” www.dailymotion.com/...

Not me just downloading USFS wildland fire studies and articles

Alexis Soyer heavy ep coming up - food for the people centered guy. But if you were wondering how English he was - this says it all “Partaking of overdone kidneys at night is the forerunner of the nightmare” #FoodThreads #FoodHistory

Kinda excited about tomorrow’s episode where I talk about the miracle of canned beans. A can of beans is not only beans, but a way of storing & transporting time and energy as well in a package safe from water damage and rats.

Looking up National Parks and canning/ canned food for a fun tie in. 1st thing up “Bear Safety” Stay safe everyone

OK… I have heard the pronunciation of “ALARUM” But had never seen it. - boom. Cookbooks (1850’s) coming thru

Reading an 1850’s cookbook by Alexis Soyer. And so much of the “is it done?” Advice center around how the meat interacts with the bone (fish, fowl and flesh) We have made it harder for new cooks to learn by making everything boneless! BTW Soyer was the José Andrés of the 19thC #FoodThreads

When you run across the José Andres and his World Central Kitchen of the 19th Century. And it turns out they were still using his stove design to supply disaster sights into the 1980's... Anyway - there will be an episode on Alexis Stoyer

When the advice on how to feed your family from the Sec'y of HHS looks like a Civil War Cartoon...

#14thAmendment Reminded that birth right citizenship & other 14th Amendment rights: Due Process, Equal Protection etc. were absolutely violated just 5 years after adoption. “Separate but Equal” is just one of many of the violations accepted Black Letter law won’t matter if they don’t want it to

When it all comes together in your head… YES! The railroad changed American travel. But more than that - it was the arrival of wood pulp paper in the 1880’s. This also created … #foodhistory

Maybe keep this in 1 piece this time, Seattle?

Learning that Native Americans would register as “Indian” and have papers available in 1850’s Louisiana to fend off roving slave catchers…. This is WAY too relevant. I’m trying to do food history here #ICEOut

So - you tired of your boring old coffee? Bulletproof Coffee too mainstream? Have I GOT something for you! Protein Bulletproof Not Coffee #foodhistory

History written in 1958 was using a different word bank: “The rebellion ended after sixteen years of sanguinary struggle.” This is in reference to the “T’ai P’ing Kingdom” The over use of apostrophes is wild as well.

Digging through the OLD papers in the family office in Middle Georgia, and uncover a saga about your Great Great Grandmother's Brother had a Gypsum Mine claim in Riverside, CA in the 1930's...

I'm about to get on a plane to LA to go seek out this new Restaurant Ordo. @gourmet.lives A Kyrgyz restaurant has the bread oven/kiln that makes the bread I only ever had in Uzbekistan. I have put it out of my mind since it was unobtainable. The naan/lepeshka or as I knew it...

The gall of Walmart to have this as a brand name right here, right now...

In these loony times turn to Emily Nunn's Department of Salad Her how to for making a bangin' rice salad has some winners & works as inspiration for future leftover rice when you're not feeling so fancy The phrase "how to cook arborio rice for salad" has made my day better.

Absolutely cackling! This showed up in my LinkedIn messages This SCAM... I'm sorry "tradition" is still running?

As today's soundtrack - I've looked up the MTV Rewind project run by some intriguing soul out of Albania. wantmymtv.vercel.app... Playing Name that Tune through the 80's videos. Interesting gems to be found Buy the guy a Coffee

That moment when you realize @mcdonalds snack wrap is a tortilla, a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli (lettuce sub) with one other thing (cheese) plus bonus sauce.

In these strange days, I'm looking for things to put in front of my eyeballs that make me happy. The announcement the Gourmet Magazine is BACK was exciting. The fact that the writing is gossipy - yet competent, bitchy - yet funny is everything. They are on IG as @gourmet.lives

There’s a fun little smugness when 1 research book you’re reading references another book in the pile you have.

#FoodHistory In 1862 the US Navy eliminated the Spirit Ration (usually whiskey) All entitled to such were given a pay raise of 5 cents/day And that was the last major culinary change to Naval rations for about 45 years. The US Navy more or less ate Civil War rations until WW1

#FoodHistory Clearly it’s important that I talk about beef tea very soon

#FoodHistory Resupplying Naval Ships at sea in the age of sail meant you not only had to move barrels of water & beer, cheese and biscuit Sometimes you had to move cows or sheep from one ship to another. The mind boggles

#FoodHistory TIL - Dysentery was so common in the American Civil War armies that is was common practice to stop the march for 10 minutes every hour for relief stops.
