    1780s Venison Stew Cooked Over an Open Fire | Colonial Frontier Cooking

    Send us Fan Mail What did people eat during the Revolutionary War era? Join Our Living History as we prepare a hearty venison stew using simple ingredients that would have been familiar to many Americans during the late 18th century. Cooked over an open fire in a traditional stew pot, this meal features venison, potatoes, onions, sage, salt, and pepper—creating a filling dish that could have been found on the frontier, in rural communities, or around military encampments during the 1780s. In this video, you’ll experience a slower pace of life and see how a simple meal could be prepared without modern conveniences. While recipes varied by region and availability of ingredients, stews like this were a practical way to feed families and travelers throughout early America.
