[Sca-cooks] Food in 1632? sorta OP/OT

[margali]

yo all, having read the 2 novels in the series already, a pointer..


the WHOLE town was parisiene scooped out and popped back into history. 
vehicles, school, library, houses, GROCERY STORE and all. they did 
mention in the first book planting gardens, and most houses in a fairly 
tiny town like mine [caledonia, ny is about the size of the town in 
question] have various plantings of edible and decorative plants..and at 
least 50% of the people i knew growing up had at least tomato plants and 
some even had pepper plants...grin

not to mention random clamp to the counter meat grinders/sausage 
stuffers, assorted kitchen tools like potato ricers and garnishing 
tools, cookbooks....grin

stop and THINK about what is in the basement/attic/back room of the 
average home or small town independent grcerry/hardware store, or even 
available in the school caffeteria...
