I would say that _The Long Winter_ is a poor example of winter food
because it was a pioneer community with few homegrown resources, under
extreme conditions; but seasonal food appears in _Little House in the Big
Woods_ and of course _Farmer Boy_ ... you get a better idea of what food
was available in the 19th century to settled folk.
