071 Thar She Blows – The Rise of the 18th Century Oil Industry

from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin

Well, well, well. Still not eating whale are we? Why in the heck are you talking about whale in a food podcast then? Turns out the global trade that lead to the pelagic (open ocean) whaling trade is a follow on of the "food for sea" in development.The same thinking about food in action (travel food) will become essential to soon-future-America's expansionist and war dreams (not always different).Anyway - reading at night used to smell like whale oil... if you were lucky.Look at that glow of your phone a bit differently my friend.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: [email protected] Twitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFoodPost: @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
