[Sca-cooks] food in season and how to cook it (was OLD thread)

[Jane Sitton]

Hmmm.  Nice topic.

Coming into season:

chiles, tomatoes, watermelon, okra, peaches.  I suppose peaches would have
been the only thing, period wise, that would have been available to me.
Dunno if peach cobbler is period, but I would have made a peach pie or peach
tart of some sort.

When did brown sugar come into use?  Personally, I like a bowl of sliced
peaches, swimming in cream, sprinkled with brown sugar and just a hint of
cinnamon.  I really only like honey as a sweetener on peaches when I'm
having it in oatmeal.  Ideally, though, the peaches should be sweet enough
on their own.

Ah my dears. I am 61, and while I have a few gray hairs, they are hard to
find.  So can we get back to food?  What's coming into season where you are
and how would you have fixed it in period? Margarite
