090 18th Century Housekeeping - Everbody Outside
from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin
Let's Go Outside and look at all the jobs out there that helped the 18th Century food-o-verse go around.While not every job outside the home was food related in the 18th century - quite a few of them were. I take you through Grain, Livestock, Fish, Sugar, Iron and Wood. There's a detour through buldings and even a shoutout to the American McMansion.Lots of fun pictures this week.McMansion Hell: The Faux quarried blocks look - https://mcmansionhell.com/post/707909502449614849/every-small-city-has-that-one-dictator-chic-houseFieldstone:Newport Tower - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_Tower_(Rhode_Island)Grove Park Inn - https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/asheville-grove-park/dining/great-hall-barAll the old northern European style buildings in America are made of wood:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_buildings_in_the_United_StatesOmohundro Institute: https://oieahc.wm.edu/Ben Franklin's World: https://benfranklinsworld.com/Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com 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
