Salt Cod, and Green Wine: The History of Portuguese Food I have been eating Portuguese food long before I understood its history. When I visited Portugal I learned that salt cod, and vinho verde carry centuries of survival, and faith. From bacalhau preserved for the sea to convent desserts made with excess egg yolks, this cuisine is shaped by necessity and community. #FoodHistory #FoodCulture #FoodHeritage #FoodStories #PortugueseFood https://foodculturebites.com/the-history-of-portuguese-food/ #foodculturebites

The largest empire in history wasn’t built on weapons, but on a hidden food strategy. Genghis Khan’s army had no supply chains. They survived on high-protein, ultra-portable rations. This allowed them to move faster than their enemies.  #History #FoodHistory #GenghisKhan #Mongols #Foodculture https://flip.it/K-vaz9 #FoodCulture

Serving freshly baked cookies! But who invented these delights? Ruth Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn, that launched chocolate chips. Decades later, Levain Bakery in NYC reimagined it as a giant, gooey chocolate chip walnut cookie, inspiring countless copycat recipes. #foodhistory #Foodculture #ChocolateChipCookies #CookieHistory https://foodculturebites.com/the-chocolate-chip-accident/

It’s 500 BCE, there are no forks, no spoons, no knives. Just your food, and perhaps the odd rock or shell, if you’re lucky. So, when did we start using utensils? And which came first — the knife or the spoon? #foodculture #Diningculture #history #dininghistory #utensils https://foodculturebites.com/from-fingers-to-forks/ #foodhistory

Would you believe doctors once prescribed champagne as a health tonic? In the 19th and early 20th centuries, physicians and even hospitals touted the bubbly as an energy drink for tired or weak patients, believing it could boost strength and aid digestion. Over time, as medical science evolved, champagne left the hospital for the celebration hall. #FoodHistory #MedicalOddities #FoodCulture #CuriousTraditions https://foodculturebites.com/when-doctors-prescribed-champagne/

A few days late, but no less disconcerting. I'm not finding sources to suggest this is a solid idea: 'The reductions represent nearly one million hours of inspection, laboratory, and surveillance work eliminated annually.' https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/cuts-at-the-cfia-will-cost-canadians-safety-at-their-dining-room-table-822981411.html #foodsafety #foodstudies #foodhistory

Delis make you think of family gatherings and community. These meeting points helped immigrants find their footing in second homes filled with familiar smells and language. Hand-sliced pastrami and warm knishes helped shape American culture reminding us of how food can make us feel at home. #FoodHistory #FoodCulture #FoodHeritage #FoodStories #Delis #DeliCounters#DeliCounters https://foodculturebites.com/how-delis-became-american-legends/ Posted from @surf@flipboard.social
