124 The Beginning of the End of Fish Variety
18 JUL. 2024 · So there are a few fish we eat... and a few ways we eat them. Breaded and fried of course, but as sushi, and then baked in the oven or fried on the stove - with this spice mix or that. And that's... that's about it.
But what if I told you that for a time there we at lots of fish in lots of ways. So many that it starts to sound ridiculous.
If you want to hear about all the different ways and the many different fish you could have encountered at the high point of America's fish period, this is the episode for you. Likely far more butter sauces than you thought possible - and far more kinds of fish.
But to peek at America's fishy past, this is where you want to be.

123 Oysters on Ice - An Amazingly Important Piece in Building American Food
3 JUL. 2024 · If we are ever going to cryogeneically preserve humans, we have got to learn a lot more about Oyster Liquor. Sci-Fi aside, come along and discover how much 19th cenurty America - not just American food is built upon the oyster harvest. Everybody everywhere was eating them - by the barrel and bucket full. It was common to find recipes that blithely started with a gallon of oysters or a hundred oysters. Can you imagine?
I can't.
But follow along with Thomas G Downing as he builds his fortune and America starts to grow up with the sale of oysters for lunch and as an export food.
If you're exporting to New Jersey, you might as well head out into the world.
It's oyster time in America.

122 Ice - A Curious Material
19 JUN. 2024 · Histroy Cookbook you say?
Check out https://a.co/d/aNRl4bjby Victoria Flexner & Jey Reifel
to figure out how to make your dinner table a time machine. Appreciate how we can travel through time and space through the grocery store & our refrigerators. And give thanks for the wire whisk while you're at it.
-----------
ICE! How did we ever get by without it? Well, turns out some people never really had to do without if they had enough money. But for the little people - especially in the English speaking world, it took until the 19th century for icy treats to move out into the masses. Not a lot - but it was a start.
And cool spaces for The People (rather than The Leaders) would only take off from there. Becasue at the same time the Ice King was making deliveries world wide - the power of cold was coming under human control.
Come check out the earliest days of refrigerated America.

121 Salt & Other Chemicals
12 JUN. 2024 · Now that America is on the road to getting involved with the world and becoming a mechanical, industrial company, it's time to ramp up salt production and get in on the chemical revolution.
It's not just salt that matters but all the associated sodium compounds or sodas.
So it's a turn about the kitchen chemistry kit, an explanation of where they all work - and the arrival of actual modern baking soda - and how it, and the new modern food systems made the modern coffee cake happen.
So get salty - if you don't stay salty.
Salt Potatoes Recipe:
1 gallon/4L Water
1 Cup/ 150g salt
3 lbs little potatoes - SKIN ON & unpunctured
Butter or Sour cream etc. & herbs
Dissolve salt, pop in the potatoes, bring to a boil - simmer about 30 min. Until potatoes are good to eat. Drain in a colander. Eat with metled butter or sour cream and herbs. No extra salt needed.

120 Corn - The National Vegetable
29 MAY. 2024 · Corn is so hot right now. No other crop even comes close in the 19th century.
This week corn grows up and shows up everywhere but on the fanciest of tables. It's mush, it's booze, it's pork & beef and butter... and fancy pleated collars.
But wait, there's more! It was important in the Napoleonic Wars, and the power shifts in Ireland. And ithelped drive America's first major economic depression. Pretty powerful for a little grain.
