A Pilgrim's Book Of Food And Manners
It wasn't hard to clean up after a Pilgrim meal - especially if you ate the plates, which were made of stale bread...
In straightforward, down-to-earth language, Lucille Recht Penner tells about the food the Pilgrims had - how they got it, cooked it, and ate it - and how large a role it assumed in their daily lives. Historical line drawings accompany and illuminate savory descriptions of food preparations, and quotations from writers of the Pilgrim era are sprinkled throughout. A feast of fascinating information for any young reader who is (and who isn't?) interested in food. Includes a glossary and suggestions for further reading.
