The Old Foodie
The  Foodie herself is not old, it's the food. But not "old" in the sense of spoiled or bad. No, this Aussie chef-blogger revels in historic victuals and all the fascinating lore that comes with them. If you've ever wondered how hamburger landed its name or what the heck mincemeat pies are, the Old Foodie knows. She also debunks the naming of the sandwich and relates the eight-day revelry of the first Oktoberfest (and its decidedly un-"wussy" liter glasses). She stocks her vast recipe archive with goodies like Sweetbread Croquettes, Chocolate Soup, a Potage of Frogs, Wow Wow Sauce, and Viper Wine. Wow wow, indeed. Step into this cozy kitchen each weekday for 400 words about unusual foods, plus a historic recipe. You're sure to leave well-nourished. (in Food and Drink Blogs) |
