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 :)

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!

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.

Found my cookbook online: Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook

This lady has a full rundown of it on her blog, and it captures its absurdity quite well: http://www.allthelivelongday.com/2011/10/culinary-arts-institute-encyclopedic.html
Took it when I moved out of my parents, mainly just for a scone recipe in it. Held on to it for nostalgia sake.

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)

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.

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  Sad Panda
