…is the title of the third annual Historic Foodways Symposium,
sponsored by Deborah Peterson’s Pantry, to be held Saturday,
February 27, 2010.
I urge any and all folks who are interested in learning more
about the who, what, when, where, why, and how of historic
foods (in this case meat), during the 18th Century and beyond,
to partake of this annual offering. I’ve attended Deb’s past two
programs, and both were excellent. HUZZAH!
This year’s will take place at the re-created William Penn homestead,
Pennsbury Manor, in Morrisville, PA. Presentations will be given on
topics such as butchering and colonial domestic animals. There’ll also
be hearth cooking workshops on the Friday before (February 26) and
the Sunday after (February 28). Space is limited for those, however.
Lodging (special discount rate!) is available at a nearby hotel.
So, if you’re interested and able to attend, GO! You won’t regret it.
As noted in Carolina’s Cupboard, Deb Peterson is the gal who
sells a wide assortment of hard-to-find historic ingredients and
equipment for use in open hearth cooking.
For additional information, either check out Deb’s website or
that of ALHFAM (the Association for Living History, Farm and
Agricultural Museums).
Be there or be square!
