What kind of food did people eat in the 19th century? Head to this Tacoma event to learn
Jun. 7—Looking to try some new cuisine, like peasemeal, maybe? You might consider heading to the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum on Saturday.
The museum's Plough to Plate event will allow people to try 19th century cooking, including the aforementioned flour made of roasted yellow peas. Visitors also will have the opportunity to sample food cooked over an open fire from the time period and learn some recipes and cooking techniques, like churning butter.
Visitors can view leather- and woodworking demonstrations or decorate mini, reusable grocery tote bags, among other activities. Elizabeth Rudrud, the museum's positions, events, and volunteer coordinator, said a main point of the event is to teach people about the relationship between the modern day and the past.
"One of the things that the museum really likes about an event like this and the activities like this is that it really connects to a lot of modern-day interests, so we see a lot of people today really interested in whether it's growing their own food or sourcing food locally," Rudrud told The News Tribune. "This is an opportunity for us to show that these are not new ideas ... we get to show that these modern interests are really connected to the past."
