The History of American Food Margaret Hardin

I have an ENOURMOUS back catalog. Get in there.  

But for the future, I have plans for about 10 seasons. To make sure I don't absolutely turn myself into a quivering lump of jelly, structures of reasonable dimensions have been put in place to keep this baby rolling along. 


Every other week baby!

It's officially the appearance of the Mason. Jar in American Food.

You get to learn about how lack. of child labor protections made it possible, and how inventing stuff in the food preservation doesn't seem to make you rich.

Learnn about how water power made inventing metal stuff possible, and how important the screw is to the development of American food.
And learn how they way humans fight wars and travel the earth has never been the same since the introduction of canned and jarred food

Silly me, I thought I could encompass the whole can and glass jar thing in one episode.  I was wrong.

Instead this episode talks about early bottling, the introduction of canning and how it was used in the early 19th century.  And there's lots of talk about botulinum toxin and botulism... a fear of my childhood, but a cosmetic procedure today.  Who knew?

So to learn about the steps that lead to canned food coming in glass jars - tune in!

This week it’s glass - a history. 
We talk sand (SAND!) fire, volcanos and sharp things.  Minerals, amorphous materials and how glass is a solid and not even a little a liquid.
 
What was glass before it was windows - or even see through?  And how badly did the early Americans want glass?  Bad enough that they lured European glass makers here - with the promise of plenty of fuel, plenty of sand (SAND!) and an apparently forever growing market.  Along with slightly less hard work with the promise of mechanization.

So stand back, but look on at the shiny hot stuff and learn some facts about the history of glass.
