Extinct Dishes and forgotten foods? Anonymous Fri May 31 12:51:35 2019 No.12411159 [Reply] [Original]

I was wondering if there are any foods and recipes that were forgotten, no longer available or fell out of favor.

Farina and cream of wheat used to be made into souffles in upscale restaurants.
Depending on the type of pine tree, almost every part of it is edible and possibly tasty when cooked (with pines in the northeast pine needle tea historically protected settlers and natives from scurvy).
Turtle used to be a really popular meat in stews.

You just need to soak them in water, drain, and soak again until the water no longer gets very brown and bitter (which means the tannin has more or less fully drained out). Squirrels either find or make holes in trees that would collect rainwater for their acorn storage so that water would soak their acorns and draw out tannins over the fall months and by winter, squirrels would have tannin-free acorns to eat (tannins are poisonous to rodents at high dosage, ironically).

Rhubarb we have a lot of in the UK
it is unwordably tasty when lactofermented for about 3-4 weeks
Thermidor we do as a special sometimes at my workplace
it is a bit of a ballache to do properly, to order, and not even that good a way to eat lobbo

Question: relating to this and the forging food thread. Do you guys ever worry about eating from plants that suck up a lot of fertilizer or have pesticides on them. Obviously if you're in the middle of the woods you don't have to worry but I remember some my talking about foraging from college campus. Couldn't certain pollutants end up in the plants?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 1 20:02:33 2019 No.12418181 >>12411516 They aren't that smart. They just keep going back to their stashes trying to eat them until they don't taste as bitter.
