The 19th Century - when America starts to really take shape as the America we recognize (more or less) today.  It starts to be more diverse - and gets mad about it right away. The cold chain starts here.  Food miles start here.  Jars of strawberry jam starts here. The 19th century up to 1861 holds so much of what made America not the rest of the world - and also started to absorb influences from the rest of the world. America really gets moving - so don't miss the train.  Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor Turtle Show Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/ Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com Threads: @THoAFood Instagram: @THoAFood
