121 Salt & Other Chemicals

from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin

Now that America is on the road to getting involved with the world and becoming a mechanical, industrial company, it's time to ramp up salt production and get in on the chemical revolution.  It's not just salt that matters but all the associated sodium compounds or sodas.So it's a turn about the kitchen chemistry kit, an explanation of where they all work - and the arrival of actual modern baking soda - and how it, and the new modern food systems made the modern coffee cake happen.So get salty - if you don't stay salty.Salt Potatoes Recipe:1 gallon/4L Water1 Cup/ 150g salt3 lbs little potatoes - SKIN ON & unpuncturedButter or Sour cream etc. & herbsDissolve salt, pop in the potatoes, bring to a boil - simmer about 30 min.  Until potatoes are good to eat.  Drain in a colander.  Eat with metled butter or sour cream and herbs.  No extra salt needed.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com Threads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
