Fuckin' A. A history of breakfast? That's epic. Grats!
I had a blueberry turnover today. Yesterday, raisin bran cereal. Hope that helps.
I totally thought VDL was writing about the history of Belfast up to that post and was wondering how the thread could derail so quickly... Yay Thursday Beer! Oh and congrats :) |

I had some sunny side up eggs, spam fried rice, and some longanisa for breakfast.

That kind of reminds me, I had a peppermint hot chocolate yesterday from McDonald's. It was delicious. |

My fiancee said we will probably want a copy for the library. We get kids from the college in doing research on that kind of thing regularly.
Hooray! That's wonderful! (I still get a cut of that!) It better have a chapter on bacon. Or I will never buy it.
Not only that, but I talk about the history of nitrates! Bacon narwhal is kind of terrifying...ly delicious. |

Whale blubber might not be all that far off. Grats on the book deal! I may check it out just for some new/old ideas. Wheat allergy plus cholesterol intake restrictions have just about led me to giving up on breakfasts, at least American style. Oatmeal got old years ago. Contracted word count rather than pages, eh. Too bad, you could fill a lot of pages easy with yummy pictures! |
Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

Sounds to me like a few recipes would be good filler... I'd love to see some comparative recipes.. |

Old cookbooks are full of history. I have an old cooking "encyclopedia" that has several pages devoted to lard. We definately had different thoughts about what constituted a healthy meal in the sixties.

I have one that details all the favorite meals across the world from the view of Vincent Price in the 70s. |

I'm pretty sure my edition of the Joy of Cooking contains instructions for skinning a squirrel.

If you ever wanna see my drop cash like a gambling addict, take me to the vintage cookbook section of Powell's. It's insane. Last time I went I came away with three books: a housewife's menu planner from 1928, a food history book written in the late 1800s and Aspic and Old Lace - a collection of one hundred years' worth of ladies auxiliary recipes from the Midwest.

I just rely on my Concise Encyclopaedia of Gastronomy. It has recipes for everything from wine and tarts, to the proper way to cook a badger, to the properties of zebra meat (Yellow and somewhat stringy, generally disliked by Europeans)

If I ate breakfast, I'd be excited.
I do eat a shitton of bacon though, therefore, by the transitive properties of the One True Food, I offer congrats and bid to buy your book in multiple quantities when it drops.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I try to catch vintage books when they get donated to the library but we don't add them (we're not an academic library). Since we started selling things on amazon, that's dried up completely  |
