FOREWORD<br > What did the American Colonists eat? Surprisingly enough,<br >many of their favorite dishes may be found on American tables<br >today, particularly in New England and Tidewater Virginia,<br >where it all started.<br > The settlers who landed on New World shores were raised on<br >the food of Olde England, the mother country, and of course<br >brought these tastes with them. The English diet featured<br >roasted meats and birds, pies and pottage, gravies and sauces,<br >boiled suety puddings, fish, cabbage, turnips, carrots, onions,<br >parsnips and peas, cheeses and other dairy products, apples,<br >peaches, cherries, currants, gooseberries, pears, greengage and<br >damson plums, quinces, breads and ale or beer. Although the<br >emigrants ships carried seeds or cuttings of their English fruits<br >and vegetables, and agricultural grains such as wheat, oats, rye,<br >and barley, the early harvests were a disaster, and the colonists<br >turned to the Indians for help and tutelage in utilizing plants and<br >animals native to America. From the Indians, they learned to<br >cook, eat, and cultivate crops unknown in England -- corn, na-<br >tive beans, squash -- and how to seek out edible wild plants and<br >game. New shipments from England in time reinforced supplies<br >of seed, farm and draft animals and tools, but meanwhile, the<br >settlers eagerly adopted the fruits, nuts, vegetables, fish and<br >flesh so plentiful in their wild new home. So, from the outset,<br >colonial cooking impressed the stamp of the New World on its<br >English inheritance.<br > Today, more than 200 years later, the American cuisine, like<br >the American people, has roots from all over the world and<br >represents many, many different cultures: French, Italian,<br >Polish, Russian, Jewish, German, Scandinavian, Spanish,<br >Chinese and dozens of others. But in the seventeenth and eigh-<br >teenth centuries these influences were absent; food was British<br >or Indian or a little of both. The first foreign gastronomic in-<br >fluence of any weight came in with the French alliance during<br >the Revolution. The first American to employ a French chef was<br >Thomas Jefferson!<br > Here are seven chapters of what our research and the files of<br >the Old Farmer s Almanac (first published in 1792) show to be<br >authentic colonial foods, adapted for preparation in the modern<br >American kitchen.<br > Clarissa Silitch, Editor<br >QQ<br ><br >
