Hello all! Nice to finally join you. I'm Lindsay: a literary food historian, knowledge exchange professional, and nature nerd. I'll very likely be posting about the nineteenth century, Scottish food, or fun birds and mushrooms I've seen. Oh, and tins, of course.

I've started a food history starter pack. It's mainly GB at the moment cos those are the people I know, but I'd like it to be wider please. If you'd like to be added, let me know. Otherwise the very short list is here go.bsky.app/RH4kTRU
