Default Welcome to the Food History Forum.

I would just like to welcome everyone to our new forum which is devoted to Food History. Our very own Atheneaus has kindly agreed to moderate this forum and with such a love of food history and a vast knowledge on the subject I can't think of a better person.

Enjoy!

What a great addition!

Athenaeus from what era will the first feast come?

Default Let's talk about History

Yes! The History of Food Forum is a fact. I am very happy about it.

I want to thank Nicko for making it real.

When I first logged-in to Chef Talk to ask about Sun dried tomatos, I couldn't imagine that my relation with this community would go that far.

But things went too smoothly and normal and without realising how , soon I had to change place of my pc in the house so as to be close to my cooking books, that they are up to 2500.

History can be a very tricky subject. It may seem general or vague but if you think about it , it's very personal.
I think that nothing can be more personal than the eating tradition and food of one's family. I can see people getting angry just because they thought that you offended their grandma's recipe!

I personally will continue to add small stories and referencies in the other threads too, as I used to do. Sometimes the historical point must be added on a specific occasion. It's exactly like a spice

I am looking forward to your posts!

Mon petit Athenaeus,

Félicitations! Dear Abby is thrilled to see the introduction of this Food History Forum. Although she does not claim to know a tremendous amount about the food history, she has perhaps lived a little history. She very much looks forward to reading the wonderful posts and hopes to have some little thing to contribute herself.

Bonne chance.

Abby

I'm glad this forum has finally come to fruition, and what better member to moderate it? I look forward to reading and learning, since it's not a subject I know a lot about.

Wonderful! I am so excited to see this new forum! I love history, especially in the context of food. It is so fun to see how different foods, dishes, and cuisines have evolved over the centuries.

CONGRATS ATHENAEUS!

I'm sure this is going to become one of the funniest boards here.
So, food archaeologists...let's come in and post!

Great news Athenaeus! I always love to read your stories - even though I hardly ever post in them. Always very interesting!

Congrats!
