Cooking and American history.
My 7 year old is learning American history through library books my wife has been checking out! We have taught him about the American revolution and some of the historical figures from that time. My wife recently picked up a book called "Hasty Pudding" I believe, A book of common colonial recipes.
Now, my boy is also quite the little chef. He helps his mother with the cooking, and by help, I mean she stands back and lets him do all the work while giving directions as needed. He wanted to do a recipe out of the book and decided on Johnny cakes and he did a bang up job, my wife improved on the recipe a bit but either way they were great!
I'll post the recipe later as I have to go take care of our animals!

Hey, the greatest cooks in the world are men. Of course there are the goofs that try to cook eggs with golf clubs but fortunately they are the minority.

So Mark, are you cooking everything in a three legged dutch oven on the fireplace hearth? Now that's authenticity.

No. We are cooking it on the back of a hoe over an open fire. Now that's authentic! Originally Posted by honedright

He'll learn a gun in time, but a man has got to know how to cook what he kills Originally Posted by Blade Wielder

I would be a good role model for your boy. I hunt, I shoot, I cook. Originally Posted by JMS

Why, at this very moment I have the grill pre-heating for some venison sausages!
