Answer 3

Cookbooks did not begin to be marketed before the American War between the States. Food recipes were word of mouth or common knowledge in one community but often unknown elsewhere. Suggest reader start by producing a cooking fire without fueled lighters, matches, or modern equivalents. Get a male to do it to justify his pioneer stock bloodline claim. Fireside irons included a tripod with central chain leading down to wood fire center. Hang pots, kettles,
Dutch oven using "S" hooks. Notches on tripod legs hold metal rods to spit meats or fish for roasting. Atop the burning coals slide deep fry pans, griddle, and other ironware.

Oh, did you think it was going to be in your electric and gas kitchen of stainless steel with drawers full of gadgets that you would reap rewards of all donations? No, hon, you must learn anew to slave away at your cookery. Somebody who is growing hungry might have to beat you into being more, um, inventive. This isn't Flintstone Food from Hollywood so you
go for the full flavor of the way things were done.

Keeping that in mind you'll deep fry with hog lard. Use elbow grease to beat egg whites for the leavening. Because wood spoons take longer for different tasks let any Mountain-Men present under your eye do stir time. Try an addition of cooking yeast. Baking from 1765 to about 1820 in North America required stone ground corn meal laced with rye flour. It was called Indian Meal. For the sweet taste use home fruit preserves, brown cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, molasses, or 'rock' sugar. Remember, sunshine, before cookbooks came along and for awhile afterward the times of cookery process were so vague that today such meals require some reader invention. Remember, EVERYTHING - IS - MADE - FROM - SCRATCH.

I've set out directions for 'ancient food' elsewhere On line.
Hammercy! Did I forget to mention you and your tribe will have to hunt some of my elusive recipies? You've got a few
hours before deadlines expire and they start getting wiped
away into oblivion. Spear that keyboard and move the mouse to get the chase underway.
